Female sex toys, by now (or since Charlotte got off with a Rabbit on Sex and the City) are an accepted and even expected part of a straight woman’s boudoir. Likewise, the LGBT community seems to have little problem using and talking about sex toys. The last frontier, of course, is the straight man. I may be generalizing here, but it seems like most straight men are reluctant to use sex toys—especially when it comes to having them being used on themselves. (Perhaps centuries of not being sexually oppressed has actually been more oppressive than we thought.)
To break the ice, it might be handy if women started keeping some male sex toys in the arsenal—you know, in case a particularly adventurous mood strikes. Or, if guys aren't afraid to suggest a little something different, it could be a good idea for dudes to keep some toys handy as well. With that in mind, here are some less intimidating male sex toys that women might actually want in their bedrooms.
Suckers
Product: Doc Johnson "Hot Lips" Stroker
Price: $19.99
Suckers are little cavernous molds designed like a mouth or vagina for a dick to go in. It’s the kind of thing a woman might want to keep around for when she's too lazy or bloated to give a blow job (ladies, act like you haven't been there).
A Reversible Power Cage
Product: Renegade Reversal Power Cage
Price: $22.95
This is a thing for penises to go in, but that are also fun for vaginas. Equality! So while the man is having all sorts of lovely sensations on his dick, so is the woman inside her vagina.
A Dual Pleasure Cock Ring
Product: Couples Dual Pleasure Ring
Price: $12.95
Cock rings seem to be the most prolific and renowned of male sex toys—you can even get over-the-counter condoms with cock rings at your local pharmacy. Probably because of feminism, some genius has come up with a cock ring that simultaneously stimulates a woman’s clitoris. Amazing.
An Extension Sleeve
Product: Light up Extension Sleeve with Bullet
Price: $14.99
I’m not sure the best way to say “Hey honey, wear this thing that makes your dick longer," but an extension sleeve also provides extra pleasure for the man, so I’d open with that.
A Penis Pump!
Product: Pump Worx 7.5" Clear Beginners Power Pump
Price: $19.99
There’s an exclamation point in the heading because I didn’t even know this was a real thing until just now. I just assumed it was a thing asinine high school kids joked about. A penis pump can enlarge an erection, and it’s also meant to prolong said erection and intensify orgasm. Either way, this is going to be a super fun thing to use with a partner, and I’m sure there will be some giggles along with all the mind blowing sex.
This Very Chic Pulse
Product: Pulse
Price: $120.00
The Pulse can be used solo for male masturbation or you can discreetly pop it between the vagina and penis for extra sensation for boys and girls. A bonus for the style conscious is that it’s very sleek-looking, and doesn’t look much like a sex toy at all.
A Cock Ring With an Anal Probe
Product: Platinum Silicone Double Dip Cock Ring & Probe
Price: $17.99
Which, because I'm mature, is obviously not making me laugh. Jokes aside, anal plus genital stimulation for a man can be orgasmic heaven, so if a guy likes his prostate tickled, this is a good one for a girl who’s reluctant to slip one in the stink to have around.
A Couple’s Vibrator
Product: Various
Price: $64.99-$159.99
A We Vibe is worn by a woman, but apparently both partners “feel the vibration." A great way to introduce a hesitant dude to the world of sex toys is through one that seems like it’s for the woman, but which gives pleasure to both.
An "Anal Starter Kit"
Product: Nexus Anal Starter Kit
Price: $69.99
Look, not every straight guy wants to do butt stuff. At least not with his own butt. But (haha), butt stuff can increase male pleasure ad infinitum, so as a lady, if you can coax your man intro trying something new, an anal start kit might be a less intimidating way to crack into doing said butt stuff.
Some S&M-y Type Things
Product: Dare Me Pleasure Set
Price: $119.00
If the dude you’re with isn’t into all the extra pleasure of cock rings, penis pumps, and the like, I’d be shocked if he wasn’t into at least a little bit of light spanking. It’s just plain good foresight for a gal to have some S&M gear just casually hanging about.
