Have you ever used a male dildo? Men using sex toys is sadly still a little bit a taboo topic, especially when it comes to anal stimulators. There is a notion that dildos and vibrators are to be used either by women or gay men - but anal pleasure is actually for everyone.
Even more when we consider that the prostate is one of the highest sources of pleasure for penis-owners. This means anal penetration can truly rock your world and change your sex life.
Some things to consider before using a male dildo
If you’re looking to know how to use a dildo for men but have no experience, we would advise you to start small so you can get familiar with the sensations and understand how your body works.
And always remember: lube is your best friend! Using a male dildo is going to be much better if you’re well lubricated. There’s no such thing as “too much lube.”
Also never forget that anal dildos should ALWAYS have a base. This is a safety measure to ensure you don’t hurt yourself or end up at ER having to tell strangers you have a toy up your ass you can’t get out.
Lastly - be careful with analgesic substances. While some creams and lubes which numb the pain can make the experience of the penetration more pleasant, just make sure to be extra gentle if you’re using them. This is because if you can’t feel the pain you’re at risk of really injuring yourself and only realising after the fact.
Bearing all of that in mind, let’s have the fun begin! Regardless if you’re gay, straight, or anything in between: Here are our best picks in dildos for men.
Small dildos for men
For beginners, a soft jelly dildo with a suction cup base is the best way to get started. The texture is soft and it is perfect for a gentle prostate stimulation. It’s also the best option if you haven’t yet mastered the art of anal penetration.
Our recommendation
Fun Factory's Amor
is a semi-realistic dildo with a silky surface. It's relatively small measurements (5.3 inches long and 1.4 inch diameter) make it a great item for anal beginners. It can even be attached to a harness.
Prostate massagers
Speaking of the prostate… If you wanna get down straight to business, the market is full of dildos made especially to stimulate it. The secret is in the shape - the best ones are curved to press directly against the glans and truly make you see stars.
Our recommendation
Lelo´s Hugo
We recommend Lelo’s Hugo, which combines powerful vibration with a sleek design for a high-quality product that will make sex that much spicier - partnered or in alone time.
Strap-on dildos for men
When it comes to strap-ons, the harness is just as important as the dildo. This is because how secure everything is in place is going to make all the difference in the experience. This is why we recommend you find something that fits well!

They are also very discreet toys, and can be secretly used in day-to-day activities, which would of course make your next trip to the groceries store that much more fun. The most important thing to look after is a base so the operation is risk-free (especially with the smaller toys).
