What is a Masturbator?

A masturbator is a sex toy specially designed to give men intense and targeted pleasure during masturbation. These toys come in all shapes and sizes and can offer a wide range of experiences, from realistic sensations such as vaginal and oral sex to advanced vibrations and stroking movements.

Whether you are looking for powerful stimulation or a soft, relaxing experience, a masturbator can help you take pleasure and enjoyment to a higher level.

Discover the versatility of masturbators in this article and let yourself be inspired by the many possibilities available to enrich your pleasure and relaxation!

Feedback from one of our testers:

"Thank you for letting me test the masturbators. It has been another wonderful experience. Using a masturbator is exceptionally pleasurable and exciting. It gives 'ordinary' masturbation something very special. The orgasms also feel much stronger and more intense with a masturbator than when I masturbate 'normally'."

Types of Masturbators

There are several types of masturbators, each offering a unique experience. Here are the most popular types:

Manual Masturbators

These are the classic models that you operate by hand, providing complete control over movement and pressure. They are usually made from soft, flexible materials with textures on the inside. They often take the form of a sleeve or tube. Some of these manual masturbators have a built-in vacuum system to create a suction sensation.

Automatic Masturbators

Would you rather relax while the toy does all the work? Automatic masturbators feature built-in motors that provide movement (such as rotations), vibrations or even suction. This makes them ideal for hands-free use and for those seeking a more intense or less strenuous experience. This category is perfect for people with reduced hand strength or who want to relax completely. There are also automatic masturbators that can be used manually.

In addition to these two main types, there are other models.

Realistic masturbators

Designed to replicate real experiences. They are often modelled after a vagina, anus, mouth or even a complete torso.

Connectable masturbators

Innovative technology makes it possible to combine masturbators with other devices or apps. Think, for example, of models that can be connected to a smartphone app for adjusting settings. Some advanced options even support integration with virtual reality (VR), creating an interactive experience.

Vibrating masturbators

For extra stimulation, there are vibrating masturbators. These models have built-in vibration functions and are available in both manual and automatic versions. They come in the form of a vibrating sleeve, tube or cock ring with vibration options.

Strokers vs. Non-Strokers

Another important distinction with masturbators that is often used is whether they are strokers or non-strokers: It is helpful to know what exactly is meant by this.

  • Strokers are masturbators that you move up and down by hand.
    This gives you control over the tempo and intensity, and provides a realistic experience of penetration. Strokers can range from simple sleeves such as the Tenga Egg to more complex and vibrating models. This type of toy does require some physical effort.
  • Non-strokers, on the other hand, do the work for you, or you barely need to move.
    Think of automatic or vibrating masturbators. These masturbators are ideal for men who want to relax and enjoy hands-free, for those with less strength in their hands, and for men with a moderate or absent erection.

Masturbators that Stimulate Only the Glans

Not all masturbators are designed to stimulate the full length of the penis. Some toys focus specifically on the glans and frenulum, the most sensitive parts of the penis, and provide a special and intense experience through this highly targeted stimulation.

In addition, vibrating cock rings, although not originally developed as masturbators, can also provide targeted stimulation of the glans thanks to their powerful vibrations.

"In the art of self-love lies a deep mystery: you learn not only to know your body, but also the infinite power of pleasure and peace that resides within you. Pleasure is a gift of life to be embraced with attention and gratitude."

Automatic masturbators are equipped with motors and sensors that do the work for you. They can perform various movements such as thrusting, rotating, vibrating, suctioning and even heating. This makes them perfect for hands-free use and provides a more intense experience without physical exertion.

Masturbation is not only a physical experience, but also a spiritual journey towards yourself and towards each other. When you play together with a partner, this experience becomes a ritual of mutual discovery, a moment of deep connection and shared energy.

The use of toys can enrich this journey, an extension of your desire and curiosity. By experimenting together, you get to know each other's bodies on a deeper level, while creating space for openness and mutual respect.

This is not just a game; it is a celebration of your shared sensuality, a sacred space where shame gives way to surrender and love.

Masturbators as Support for Erectile Difficulties

For men with erectile difficulties, masturbators can not only provide enjoyment, but can also contribute to sexual health. They promote better blood circulation, which helps in achieving or strengthening an erection.

There are masturbators specially designed for use without a full erection. These toys primarily focus on stimulating the glans and offer powerful vibrations. They can help achieve an erection during use, but even without an erection, it is possible to reach orgasm.

Highly suitable for use with absent/moderate erection

  1. Hot Octopuss Pulse Duo: (can be used without erection)
    This masturbator is specially designed for men with erectile dysfunction. This advanced masturbator can be used with both a flaccid and an erect penis. The penis is placed in the masturbator in its flaccid or erect state, after which powerful vibrations and pulsations target the glans. Thanks to the targeted stimulation, no movement is needed to experience intense sensations. This device can help achieve an erection, but also provides ample enjoyment without one. Solo and Together.
  2. Tenga Flip Zero EV: (can be used with moderate erection)
    The Tenga Flip Zero EV is an automatic masturbator that combines powerful vibrations with an exciting interior and suction. This provides a versatile experience. It is possible to insert a non-erect penis, making it suitable for men who have difficulty maintaining an erection. For men who cannot achieve an erection at all, this Tenga Flip Hole Zero is not suitable.
  3. Bone Masturbator (can be used without erection)
    This masturbator is designed to stimulate the glans with powerful vibrations and pulsations, without requiring a full erection. With both, you place the glans in the soft opening, after which the device delivers vibrations that provide intense stimulation. Because they specifically target the glans, they can provide pleasure regardless of whether the penis is fully erect.
  4. Arcwave Ion 2
    Unique masturbator with the air pressure technology identical to the popular vibrator for women: the Womanizer.

If you use a manual masturbator such as a Fleshlight, it can be somewhat more difficult to insert the penis in a flaccid state into the sleeve, but with sufficient lubricant and gentle pressure, this is often possible. Using vibrating or automatic toys, however, makes it easier and more comfortable, as you need to provide less manual stimulation yourself.

Masturbators for Men with Reduced Hand Strength

For men with reduced hand strength, automatic or vibrating masturbators and hands-free options are the best choice, as these toys require less physical effort than manual variants. When choosing the right masturbator, there are a number of factors to consider, such as ease of use, weight, grip, and whether the toy can operate independently. There are also lightweight masturbators that can work well.

Wand Massagers as Masturbators: Powerful Stimulation for Men

Wand massagers are powerful and versatile masturbators that are also excellently suited for men. Thanks to their deep vibrations and broad head, they can offer intense stimulation without requiring much manual effort. Especially for men with erectile difficulties or reduced hand strength, wand massagers offer a wonderful option for pleasure.

How Does a Wand Massager Work as a Masturbator?

A wand massager works by delivering powerful vibrations directly to the penis, particularly the glans and shaft. These vibrations can vary in intensity and rhythm, providing deep stimulation that differs from traditional masturbators. The broad head of the wand massager ensures a larger area of the penis is stimulated, which can result in intense pleasure.

Men can use a wand massager in various ways:

  • Directly on the glans: By directing the massager at the glans, the most sensitive part of the penis is intensely stimulated.

  • Along the shaft: You can also move the massager along the shaft of the penis for broader, less targeted stimulation.

  • Testicles and perineum: Wand massagers can also be used for stimulation of the testicles and the perineum (the area between the anus and the scrotum), adding extra sensations.

Benefits of Wand Massagers for Men

  1. Powerful Vibrations
    Wand massagers are known for their extremely powerful vibrations. This makes them an excellent choice for men who enjoy intense stimulation and who may have been disappointed by the power of traditional masturbators.

  2. Suitable for Men with Erectile Difficulties
    Because wand massagers do not depend on penetration or movement, men with erectile difficulties can benefit greatly from them. The vibrations stimulate the glans and shaft directly, meaning an erection is often not necessary for pleasure.

  3. Hands-free Use
    Some men use wand massagers in a hands-free manner by positioning them against the penis or perineum and letting the vibrations do their work. This also makes wand massagers a suitable option for men with reduced hand strength, as little to no manual action is required.

  4. Multifunctional
    Wand massagers can be used not only for the penis, but also for other erogenous zones such as the testicles, the perineum, and even the nipples. Moreover, you can still use them for relaxing massages on other parts of your body.

What Should You Look for When Choosing a Wand Massager?

  1. Power and vibration patterns
    Choose a wand massager with adjustable vibration settings, so you can tailor the intensity and patterns to your preferences. Some massagers have very intense vibrations that may be too much for some users, while others find this delightful.

  2. Weight and Ease of Use
    Wand massagers can be heavy and large, which makes them difficult to hold for extended periods. If you have reduced hand strength, choose a lighter massager or a model with an ergonomic design that is easier to hold.

  3. Noise level
    Wand massagers are known for being powerful, but sometimes also loud. If discretion is important to you, you can choose a quieter model.

  4. Cordless or corded
    Some wand massagers, such as the Magic Wand Original, have a cord, which means you need a power outlet nearby. If you want more freedom of movement, choose a cordless variant.

Tips for Using a Masturbator

Using a masturbator can enrich your sex life, but it is important to know how to use these toys to their best advantage:

  1. Use sufficient lubricant: Always choose a water-based lubricant to avoid damaging the material of your toy.
  2. Maintenance and hygiene: Clean your masturbator after each use with lukewarm water and a mild soap or toy cleaner to keep it hygienic.
  3. Take your time: Experiment with different movements, pressure and speed to discover what works best for you.
  4. Experiment with temperature: Warm the toy by placing it in warm water for a more realistic and pleasant experience.

Lubricant TIP:

The use of lubricant is essential. And do not be too sparing with it! Using a more liquid lubricant (but not too thin), such as Hydra+, works exceptionally well when using masturbators that enclose the entire penis. And with masturbators that have a fine texture.

For masturbators that only enclose the glans, a slightly thicker lubricant is very pleasant to use. It stays in place better. If you use a more liquid lubricant with this type of masturbator, it flows out of the masturbator very easily. A thicker lubricant also works better for masturbators with firm textures. For this, you can look at the Pjur Analyse Me (Yes, it is designed for anal use but also perfect for use with a masturbator).

Usage tip from a tester:

"When I manually moved the automatic masturbators just before and during orgasm, the orgasm was much stronger and more intense."

Cleaning advice from a tester:

"In my opinion, you do not need to clean the masturbator immediately after use. After use, I wrapped them in a towel so I could enjoy the afterglow in a wonderfully relaxed state. Even when I had used them before going to sleep. The next morning, rinse thoroughly with water and soap. Then I used toy cleaner to get them completely clean."

Masturbator as an Aid for Premature Ejaculation

It is a common problem: vroegtijdig klaarkomen. But did you know that a masturbator can be a surprisingly effective tool for training your sexual control? These toys feel so realistic that your body can safely and comfortably get used to the sensations you experience during sex. This familiar feeling helps you become less easily overstimulated, giving you more control over your orgasm.

An interesting technique you can apply here is edging. This is essentially a playful exercise in which you deliberately delay the climax. The result? You learn to control your sexual responses better and better, building self-confidence. And all in a very enjoyable way.

"Masturbation is not only a physical experience, but also a spiritual journey towards yourself and towards each other. When you play together with a partner, this experience becomes a ritual of mutual discovery, a moment of deep connection and shared energy."

"The use of toys can enrich this journey, an extension of your desire and curiosity. By experimenting together, you get to know each other's bodies on a deeper level, while creating space for openness and mutual respect."

"This is not just a game; it is a celebration of your shared sensuality, a sacred space where shame gives way to surrender and love."

Masturbators for Single Use

Masturbators for Single Use zijn vaak compact, eenvoudig en ontworpen om na één keer gebruiken weggegooid te worden. Ze zijn ideaal voor mannen die een handige en hygiënische oplossing zoeken zonder zich zorgen te hoeven maken over schoonmaken. Dit type masturbator is meestal gemaakt van goedkopere materialen die niet ontworpen zijn voor herhaald gebruik.

Benefits of Single-Use Masturbators

  • No cleaning: After use, you simply dispose of the product, which means you do not need to spend time on cleaning or maintenance.
  • Discreet and portable: Many single-use masturbators are small and easy to take with you, making them ideal for travel or discreet use.
  • Affordable: These toys are often cheaper than reusable masturbators, making them an attractive option for those who want to try a new toy without a large investment.

"Pleasure is the source of vitality, a force that sharpens the mind and renews the body. A man who embraces his own pleasure lives with strength, energy and connection with himself."
