It is about treating yourself like the main character you are, whether you are flying solo, partnered up, or entertaining a crowd. Ready to upgrade your toolkit? Let's get into the must-haves for building the ultimate stash of men's sex toys.
The Must-Have Sex Toys for Your Goodie Drawer
1. Sleeves and Strokers: The MVPs of Male Sex Toys
Sleeves and strokers are game-changers for solo play. These masturbation toys for men wrap around the penis to simulate penetrative sex, often mimicking the feel of a mouth, vagina, or anus. If you have ever heard whispers about the Fleshlight, you are already familiar. Shop Fleshlight Stamina Training Unit here.
Want to take it up a notch? Some sleeves come with textured tunnels, suction features, and even heating elements to get as close to real-life as possible without filling out an awkward "About Me" on a dating app.
Pro Tip: These toys need lubrication to work their magic. Always go for a water based lubricant unless you enjoy melting your expensive toys into a sticky science experiment. Silicone toys plus silicone lube equals sadness.
2. Cock Rings: Jewelry That Pays Dividends
Cock rings are basically the engagement rings of your goodie drawer, but with way fewer strings attached. Designed to fit around the base of the penis and sometimes the testicles, cock rings help maintain stronger erections by restricting blood flow. Bonus points: some cock rings vibrate to boost sensation for you and your partner.
If you’re curious, check out the FirmTech Tech Ring — a smart, sleek, and ultra-comfortable cock ring designed for maximum performance without sacrificing comfort. Seriously one of the top-rated options if you want a mix of luxury and function.
Pro Tip: Vibrating cock rings are a fantastic way to dip your toes into the world of discreet sex toys that feel luxe without screaming, "Hey, I bought this online at 2 AM."
3. Prostate Massagers: Your Backdoor to Bliss
If you haven't explored prostate stimulation yet, allow us to politely suggest you are missing out. A prostate massager for beginners is designed specifically to hit the male G-spot, known as the P-spot, delivering mind-blowing, toe-curling orgasms.
A favorite starting point is the Aneros Helix Syn Trident — slim, easy to use, and built with a comfy design perfect for first-timers.
Pro Tip: And when exploring the backdoor, never skimp on lube. Popstar Play water-based lubricant is your best friend here for a smooth, safe, and oh-so-satisfying experience.
4. Vibrators: Not Just for Vaginas
Vibrators are often thought of as "women's toys," but let's retire that outdated thinking. Men's pleasure products like bullet vibrators, wand massagers, and even waterproof vibrators are perfect for stimulating the frenulum, perineum, or even the prostate. It is all about finding your sweet spot (or spots).
If you're ready to level up, the We-Vibe Tango X is a compact, waterproof bullet vibrator known for its deep, rumbly vibes — and it's ridiculously effective.
Pro Tip: For shower adventures, invest in waterproof vibrators. Because what is more fun than being clean and dirty at the same time?
5. Penis Pumps: Rise and Shine
Penis pumps are classic for a reason. Designed to help with stronger erections and short-term size enhancement, they work by creating a vacuum around the penis that draws blood into the tissue. Translation: stronger, longer, and occasionally "wow, you look good tonight" results.
Penis pumps are also considered erectile dysfunction devices, making them useful tools if you want extra support in the bedroom.
A highly-rated, safe starter choice: Bathmate HydroXtreme — a water-based pump that makes things much more comfortable (and way less terrifying).
Safety Note: Make sure your pump has a vacuum limiter so you don’t accidentally audition for a cautionary tale on WebMD.
6. Anal Toys for Men: Beyond the Basics
From sleek plugs to vibrating prostate tools, anal toys for men come in endless shapes, sizes, and textures. Beginners often love the b-Vibe Novice Plug — a small, vibrating plug that’s non-intimidating and beginner-approved.
Pro tip: Always prioritize sex toy safety tips and load up on lube for safe, slippery fun.
7. Discreet Sex Toys: Your Secret's Safe
Maybe you want to keep your adventures private. Discreet sex toys are smaller, quieter, and easier to hide than ever before. Think mini strokers, compact vibrating cock rings, or even wearable prostate stimulators that nobody will notice.
The Tenga Egg is a top pick — a tiny, disposable stroker that fits in your palm but delivers big pleasure.
8. Beginner Sex Toys: Where Everyone Starts
Feeling overwhelmed? Start with a few beginner sex toys like a simple sleeve, a basic cock ring, or a beginner-friendly prostate massager. You don't need to go from zero to Fifty Shades in one night. Building your goodie drawer is a journey, not a sprint.
Conclusion: Stock Up, Lock In, and Let Loose
Building your goodie drawer is not just about filling a drawer with shiny things. It is about giving yourself permission to explore, experience, and enjoy every part of your sexuality, whether solo or with a partner.
From the reliable penis sleeve to the mind-blowing prostate massager, the right mix of toys can seriously upgrade your experience. So go ahead, stock up on beginner sex toys, vibrating cock rings, prostate toys, and more. Your future self will thank you.
