Stepping into the world of male sex toys can feel exciting but also a bit daunting, especially with something as personal as Male masturbators. If you’re new to using one, don’t worry! This guide is designed to help you navigate your first experience smoothly, safely, and pleasurably.
What is a Male Masturbator?
Simply put, it’s a device designed to simulate the sensations of oral sex, vaginal sex, or anal sex. They come in various shapes, sizes, textures, and materials (like TPE, silicone, or cyberskin), offering different types of stimulation. Common types include strokers (open-ended sleeves), vibrators, automatic strokers, and torso toys.
Getting Started: Preparation is Key
- Choose the Right Toy (If you haven’t already):
- Consider Size: Ensure the internal canal comfortably accommodates your girth and length. Check product dimensions.
- Texture: Do you prefer smooth, intense ridges, or realistic bumps? Descriptions and reviews help.
- Material: Silicone is non-porous, hypoallergenic, and easy to clean. TPE/TPR feels very skin-like but requires more meticulous care. Avoid cheap jelly materials.
- Simplicity: For your first time, a basic stroker sleeve is often easiest to manage and clean.
- Clean Your New Toy (Crucial!):
- Before First Use: Wash the toy thoroughly with warm water and mild, unscented soap (or a dedicated toy cleaner). Rinse thoroughly to remove any residue from the manufacturing process. Dry completely inside and out (use a lint-free cloth or let air dry). Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
- Gather Supplies:
- Water-Based Lubricant: This is NON-NEGOTIATABLE. Masturbators require generous amounts of lube for comfort and to prevent friction tears. Never use silicone-based lube with silicone toys (it degrades them) or oil-based lubes with TPE/TPR. Water-based is universally safe.
- A Towel: Place it under you for easy cleanup.
- Privacy and Relaxation: Find a comfortable, private space where you can unwind without interruption. Relaxation enhances pleasure.
The Main Event: Using Your Masturbator
- Apply Lubricant Liberally:
- Inside the Toy: Squeeze a generous amount (think a tablespoon or more) directly into the opening. Use your finger (clean hands!) to spread it around the entire internal sleeve.
- On Yourself: Apply a good amount of lube to your erect penis. You can never have too much lube with these toys – reapply whenever things start to feel dry or sticky.
- Insertion:
- Hold the toy securely. Gently guide the head of your penis into the opening.
- Please don’t force it. Let the lube do the work. If it feels tight, add more lube.
- Finding Your Stroke:
- Manual Strokers: Hold the toy firmly around its body and use your hand to move it up and down your shaft. Experiment with:
- Speed: Slow and sensual vs. faster and more intense.
- Depth: Shallow strokes focusing on the head vs. deeper strokes.
- Twisting: Gently twisting the toy as you move it up and down adds great sensation.
- Pressure: Adjust your grip – tighter for more intensity, looser for a gentler feel.
- Vibrating/Automatic Toys: Turn on the vibration or motor function after inserting the toy. Start on a low setting and increase as desired. Let the toy do the work, or combine its motion with your own hand movements.
- Manual Strokers: Hold the toy firmly around its body and use your hand to move it up and down your shaft. Experiment with:
- Listen to Your Body:
- Pay attention to what feels good. Focus on the sensations.
- Experiment! Try different angles, pressures, speeds, and grip positions.
- There’s no “right” way. Your pleasure is unique.
- Reaching Climax:
- Continue the motions that feel best until you ejaculate. Most toys are designed to contain semen inside the sleeve.
Aftercare: Cleanliness is Essential
- Clean Immediately After Use: Don’t let fluids dry inside!
- Rinse Thoroughly: Flush warm water through the internal canal. Turn it inside out if the manufacturer explicitly states it’s safe to do so (many TPE strokers allow this for cleaning, but silicone ones often shouldn’t be inverted). Be gentle to avoid tearing.
- Wash: Use warm water and mild, unscented soap or dedicated toy cleaner. Scrub the inside thoroughly with your fingers (ensure your nails are short and filed) or a soft-bristled brush. Pay attention to any textured areas.
- Rinse Extensively: Rinse under running water until all soap residue is gone. Soap left inside can cause irritation.
- Dry Completely:
- Pat the outside dry with a clean, lint-free towel.
- Shake out excess water from the canal.
- Air Dry: Place the toy in a well-ventilated area, ideally standing upright or using a drying stand to ensure the inside dries completely. Trapped moisture breeds bacteria and mold. This step is critical! Let it dry for several hours or overnight.
- Store Properly: Once 100% dry, store your toy in its original case or a clean, breathable container (like a cotton bag) away from dust and direct sunlight. Avoid squishing it.
Beginner Tips & Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Lube, Lube, Lube! Seriously, use more than you think you need. Dryness equals friction equals discomfort and potential damage.
- Don’t Skip Cleaning: Poor hygiene can lead to infections or degrade the toy. Make cleaning part of your routine.
- Patience: Your first try might feel awkward. Allow yourself time to adjust to the sensations and discover what works best for you. Relaxation is key.
- Start Simple: Master a basic stroker before moving to complex vibrating or automatic models.
- Check Material Care: Determine if your toy is made of silicone (non-porous, easier to clean) or TPE/TPR (porous, requiring meticulous drying). Follow specific care instructions.
- Don’t Share: Masturbators are for single-user use only, unless they are specifically designed and cleaned for sharing.
- Listen to Sensation: If it hurts, stop. Add more lube, adjust your grip, or try a different motion.
- Manage Expectations: It feels different than your hand! Embrace the new sensations.
