Although only 3.5% of the adult population in America identifies as gay, lesbian or bisexual, the personal pleasure industry has still created an entire marketplace for the modern-day homosexual because, let's be honest, sex is great no matter who you love. With over 8 million people in the United States potentially interested in buying a gay sex toy at some point, I’d say that’s a pretty smart move. In fact, today’s homo-erotic pleasure arena is so large that it’s worth an estimated $3 billion – more than the music and fashion industries combined. It’s therefore easy to understand why some guys have a really hard time picking out the right device.
Innovative manufacturers try their best to develop state-of-the-art products that stand out from the crowd, but when everyone is doing that it makes discernment extremely difficult. Fortunately, a few toys have climbed their way to the top of the pile without much help in the form of clever advertisements and celebrity endorsements. Still, it’s almost impossible to find anything worth your time or attention unless you cast aside trends before considering products. Therefore, the question still remains: What’s the best gay sex toy on the market and how do I find it before it’s sold out? Well, I just might have some answers for you, so keep beating...I mean reading.
On any given day, the average Joe can go out in search for the best sex toy with great intentions but still come back empty-handed. For a long time I couldn’t figure out how that was possible. After all, aren’t there millions of options to choose from? Yeah, but therein lies the problem. Too much freedom can be restrictive because it gives the buyer no boundaries around which to look. In the meantime, consumers become easily influenced by persuasive advertisements more than by quality. Truth be told, just over a dozen devices can claim their fame through mere performance and word-of-mouth endorsements. Here they are:
As soon as the Autoblow A.I. reached store shelves it was curtains on the competition. And considering the fact that this revolutionary device isn’t even sold in stores only proves my point that the machine is unlike anything ever made. It features a unique combination of functions and components which generate a wide range of sensations that are ideal for the male anatomy, and it does so through the use of industry-leading technologies – artificial intelligence to be more precise. The on-board A.I. motor causes the automatic pumping mechanism to perform one of 10 different functions, or a combination thereof, until you shut it off or blow your load.
This innovative contraption was created after a historically successful IndieGoGo campaign that resulted in astronomical sales and mountains of positive global feedback. Most guys said that they appreciated the unique Edging mode the best, but only because it allowed them to control their stamina training exercises more efficiently. A few were instant fans of the real-feel sleeve material. Either way, the lightweight, ergonomic and surprisingly realistic machine in question boasts built-in buttons, a removable sleeve, and dimensions that are ideal for all penis sizes. So, while it may not sync with online porn content or another partner’s toy, it really doesn’t have to because it’s already an all-inclusive device.
Business in the front, party in the back – that’s the motto of the LELO Hugo prostate massager. If you haven’t tried butt play yet but think you’re knowledgeable about orgasms, you’re sorely mistaken (and not in the way you’re thinkin’). This silky-smooth, luxury-grade sex toy isn’t just for gay men. It can be enjoyed by anyone with a willing asshole and a partner to operate the wireless remote control which, by the way, is equipped with motion sensing technology. Perfect for couples, trios and individuals, this mid-sized p-spot stimulator features an undulated shape, a tapered tip for easier insertion and a clever perineum pad that vibrates depending on which setting you choose.
Draped in thick, milky silicone, the shaft of this bad boy is slightly curved to pinpoint the sweet spot with better accuracy. Meanwhile, there are 6 preprogrammed performance modes to cycle through, with each one instantaneously adjusting the speed and/or intensity level of the vibes. Within the shaft are powerful twin motors that have an exceedingly long lifespan, plus the contraption is specially formed to be worn for long periods of time (which is perfect for people dabbling in BDSM role playing games). Oh yeah, the USB rechargeable Hugo measures 5.5 inches in total insertable length and he has a 4-inch circumference. Write that down.
Don't you hate being in the mood for a good jerk off session only to find every pocket pussy on the market looking like a fucking twat? I suppose that's how it goes when you're dealing with shit for the penis but what gives? Can we get the same great sensations without having to look down the barrel of a vagina? Yes, we can. Apparently, the guys at Autoblow understand the struggle so they've created a manual masturbation device with surprising versatility - the Automilker. Regardless of your sexual orientation, in fact, it's one of the best pocket pussy alternatives in the industry.
The Autoblow Automilker features a unique design that can be enjoyed in several different ways. Slide a cock through the textured chamber and/or fold over the top flap for some intense corona stimulation using a series of exclusive vibration patterns. It not only accommodates all penis sizes but it's also ideal for dudes with performance problems and erectile dysfunction. And since it's extremely quiet, conveniently compact, lusciously lightweight, and suitable for all experience levels, this bad boy makes a terrific couple's toy, a "handy" travel companion, and a reliable stamina training device.
Made by one of the most recognizable brands in the industry, the Launch device by Fleshlight is a major industry disruption agent. Crafted out of heavy-duty materials and capable of giving standard masturbation devices a mind of their own, this relatively large housing unit holds any full-sized Fleshlight stroker and turns into an automatic machine. The driveshaft then cranks the penis at speeds of up to 180 strokes per minute, with capability to customize each sensation in a fun and intuitive way. We’re talking virtual reality compatibility via Bluetooth, access to an extremely large content library, and a touch-sensitive control panel to handle it all.
This high-tech honey is perfect for long-distance couples and/or bisexuals who like to play around with different pleasures. The database includes XXX-rated games, live webcam performances, and 3D renderings of real porn stars getting it on. Simple sync the device to your favorite imagery and go to town, or switch it to Autopilot mode for a preprogrammed, hands-free orgasm that can be assisted by a partner. So, while the Fleshlight Launch is somewhat noisy, extremely large, and not nearly as powerful as some of the other auto-strokers, it’s still a great purchase for people who want to integrate top technologies into the bedroom for a real-time explosion of possibilities.
There are only a few opportunities in life where everything comes together just right. That kind of serendipity is rare in the bedroom, especially when you're using a bunch of sex toys at the same time. Fortunately, the Autoblow Colibri makes it so much easier to enjoy numerous stimulation points simultaneously. It's not just a male p-spot vibrator; it's a motherfucking cock ring and ball separator too. Did I mention it comes with a wireless remote as well? If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. This bitch doesn't come with any storage and it's lacking the perineum pad that most prostate massagers have.
Aside from all that, the Colibri (or Big C, as all the cool kids call it) is still cleverly curved to target the p-spot and perfectly rounded to ensure comfortable insertion. Each vibration setting can be felt throughout the entire toy, plus the dual motor design allows for tandem or independent functionality. It's certainly not the most high-tech device on the market, but it simplifies your efforts while letting you enjoy penile stimulation and anal penetration at the same time. Both partners can wear it, either can control it, and neither can resist it once its inside.
Honestly, you don’t have to be a porn star to enjoy heart-pounding anal stimulation. You don’t even have to be gay, but that’s a conversation for the men’s room. The Aneros Helix Syn Trident is a prostate massager that’s perfect for beginners but it’s also well-equipped to handle the needs of the pros. It features a slightly weighted shaft that gently curves to pinpoint the p-spot of the wearer, plus it has two conveniently placed handles on the bottom for better thrusting control and safer insertion. This thing can be used in so many ways that calling it a “trident” is rather misleading.
Flexible yet firm, the Helix can be rocked inside the anus for maximum stimulation. It’s draped in a silky-smooth silicone material and polished to a velvety finish. The flared bottom features a pair of ergonomic finger loops and the entire thing can double as a simple butt plug for hours of BDSM fun and comfortable wear (not to mention hands-free play). It measures 4 inches in insertable length with a slender girth of just 3 inches, by the way, with a rounded tip for easier insertion and a bulbous end for enhanced placement security.
The TENGA brand flipped the sex toy industry on its head when the Zero Flip Hole was introduced to the market just a few years ago. It was the world’s very first hinged male stroking device and it changed the way people from all walks of life enjoyed sex, masturbation and foreplay with a partner. This device opened doors for men with sexual performance problems while giving the rest of the male population something tremendous to look forward to – a fully customizable orgasm experience, complete with manual pressure pads on the side for tailored suction control. Once the manufacturer brought out their new and improved E.V. model, which stands for “electronic vibrations,” competitors had to start scrambling to keep up.
Granted, the soft, silicone sleeve doesn’t have the kinds of specialized textures that a lot of the top penis strokers do, but what it lacks in canal detail it more than makes up for in sensations. This bad boy boasts five preprogrammed performance functions that range greatly in speed and intensity level, plus it can be used with a dysfunctional penis of any size (or a fully functional one of any size for that matter). It’s not automatic by any means, but that doesn’t mean kinky couples can’t use it to stimulate one another’s genitals before penetration. With six inches of hang time and a semi-transparent design, men from every corner of the map are now clamoring to own a TENGA Zero Flip Hole EV.
This motherfucker screams luxury, both from its brand affiliation and the swanky velvet-lined presentation box it comes in. Not surprising, especially since the nJoy folks have a name that’s considered synonymous with high-end lovemaking accessories. But regardless of their popularity, every device they make has to stand one its own merits and the Eleven Dildo most certainly does. As the name suggests, this beast offers 11 full inches of stainless-steel penetration, with every centimeter covered in highly polished metal that has ergonomically positioned bulbs and perfectly placed shaft undulation. It doesn’t get any hotter (or colder) than this. I mean, it’s temperature responsive on top of everything else just in case you were keeping count.
This S-shaped dildo is perfect for long sessions of anal stimulation, most importantly for people with skin allergies or a preference for oil-based and/or silicone-based lubes. The 316-grade materials never tarnish and they’re incredibly easy to clean as well, with a hollow inside that reduces the overall weight of the device, making it safer to use and more convenient to handle. It doesn’t have many other safety features but it does offer a dual-ended design for simultaneous penetration which, according to manufacturer, involves at least 9 inches total with a 6.5-inch gross circumference. In other words, there’s little chance you’ll forget about this one once its thrust inside you.
Tell your boyfriend that you’re not going to make it to dinner tonight but try not to mention your reason why because it could possibly be the Pipedream Extreme Fuck Me Silly Ride-On Dude. This bad boy makes the average dildo look like a chump, and it’s making hands-free male masturbators run for their money as well. It features supremely realistic detailing throughout and offers an 8-inch cock to ride into the sunset on. The shaft has a 5.75-inch girth for maximum realism but I haven’t even got to the best part yet: a tight asshole just under a pair of soft balls that has an invitation with your name all over it.
Perfect for people with performance anxiety, Peyronie’s disease and even erectile dysfunction, this handsome companion lavishes your lap with pleasure as you customize the landing according to your individual needs. It even comes with a free bottle of lube, some sex toy cleaner, and a container full of the patented Fanta Flesh Revive material renewal powder. Cram your ham into his 7-inch asshole which, by the way, is ribbed for your pleasure. Or, ride his dick until the sun comes up without worrying about batteries, power cords or recharging times. The Ride-On Dude is also submersible in water, so let your imagination soar.
The Prostate Pulse Male G-Spot Vibrator is one of three p-spot devices offered by the Autoblow brand. This is the only one without a ball loop, but because of the powerful motors that drive the adjustable vibrations, all self-proclaimed sex addicts can get what they’re looking for. Overall, I’d say this thing is like a mathematics story problem without all the unnecessary information – short, sweet, sexy, and to the point. Just the way I like it. Okay, so maybe it's not so short.
The size is ideally juxtaposed by the form - a curvy, finger-like shaft with anatomically perfect texturing at the bottom. The perineum stimulation pad is placed so that it tickles the taint (or not), depending on the setting you choose through the built-in buttons or wireless remote. Each of the powerful motors is independently functional as well, so there are a gagglefuck of different ways to enjoy it and virtually no limit on who can get in on the action. With the Pulse, you won't have all your equations balanced but at least you won't still be a flunky.
Prostate play is not only an extremely pleasurable activity but it’s also very good for your health. According to doctors, playing with toys like the Nexus Revo Stealth may increase a man’s overall quality of life tremendously. This gorgeous gadget can insert itself up to 3.5 inches inside the wearer’s anus, plus it comes with a wireless remote control to support kinky couple’s play. The newly updated operation system gives this bad boy a lot more power than its predecessor, but it’s most likely the innovative design that gets most guys off. After all, this device is sized and shaped for just about any man’s body, whether he’s an old pro or a curious noob.
The Stealth by Nexus offers a series of 6 preprogrammed performance modes that can be explored via the remote or the ergonomic touch-sensitive control panel on the bottom. It features a slightly curved, undulated shaft with a convenient perineum stimulation pad, complete with a silky-smooth covering and delicate texturization. Also, this machine offers bidirectional rotation while inserted and has 34 different pleasure combinations to choose from at any given time. Use it with a partner or play by yourself. Either way, you’re busting a nut like it’s your job. By the way, its fully rechargeable via USB (minus the remote control, obviously).
As a dominant, you're supposed to have it your way. As a sub, you're supposed to have the tools to appropriately satisfy your master's commands. This delicate balance is difficult enough to achieve, let alone maintain. It takes a bunch of amazing products - hypoallergenic genitalia decorations, comfortable yet restrictive dick devices, and reliable training units for behavior modification. It certainly helps when the shit looks amazing on its wearer, so settling on slick silicone is almost always your best bet. The Advanced Silicone Penis Ring Set is every BDSM lover's dream come true for that very reason, not to mention it's one of the most versatile devices on the planet.
This 6-piece set features numerous loops and straps in various configurations. Each one has a unique formation with supportive snaps covered in shimmering metal. The sparkling studs looks amazing next to any skin type or outfit and everything features a cozy stretch that's accommodating to all penis sizes. As the cherry on top, the Advanced Penis Ring Set can be used alongside anything this brand makes and it's also compatible with most of the toys in your existing collection. See? I told you it was possible to play nice and be ruthless at the same time.
The WE-Vibe brand is well-known for their huge selection of couples-friendly sex toys, and the Ditto Butt Plug is no exception. It features 10 different performance functions and is made flexible so it can fit snugly inside the anus without discomfort, also making it easy to maneuver for accurate p-spot stimulation. There’s a built-in control panel at the base of the toy but you probably won’t need it because this thing also comes with a free, downloadable smart phone app that doubles as a wireless remote control for long-distance lovemaking. It also has a traditional remote just in case. This tech-savvy little thing is slim, sexy and masculine, complete with a variety of rumbling vibrations that pulsate through the silky-smooth shaft.
Crafted out of high-grade silicone and fully waterproof for unrestricted aquatic play, the WE-Vibe Ditto measures a generous 3 inches in total insertable length and offers a 3.75-inch girth. There’s minimal texturization on the plug, making it ideal for beginners, but it still features a conveniently placed perineum stimulation pad which doubles as a handle and triples as a safety feature. Overall, this is one of the industry’s most sought-after gay sex toys because of its unique approach to interactive intimacy and its ability to support a wide range of different encounters – homosexual, heterosexual or otherwise.
Sometimes, all you need is a little support at the base of your dick to get the party started, and that’s exactly what the Hot Octopuss ATOM PLUS Cock Ring is all about. The maker says it’s the only cock ring you’ll ever need, which definitely beats the hell out of continually buying disposable ones. You won’t want to throw this bad boy in the trash at all, especially since it’s made from platinum-cured silicone and equipped with two powerful vibrating motors that generate a series of five different pleasure functions with the touch of a single button located on the dominant side of the loop.
Stretchy and sophisticated, this bad boy lets you customize the intensity level of each vibe mode. It also has a patented shape that’s made specifically for the wearer’s enjoyment. Thrust into your partner like a pro while enjoying the perineum stimulator and lay back to appreciate the dual pleasure provided. The Hot Octopuss brand is known for its selection of gay sex toys, with the AP ring being at the top of their list and appropriate for all types of activities. In fact, the manufacturer brags about this USB rechargeable plaything can be used right alongside a gagglefuck of other sex toys if that’s what you’re into.
Who doesn't like plugging their asshole with a silky smooth g-spot vibrator that's controlled through a wireless remote? Devices like these are practically everywhere these days, but none of them feature such an ergonomic cock ring and ball separator as the Autoblow Prostate Blast!. This funky fuck stick may look funny but its power is no laughing matter. The dual motors are independently functional through the built-in interface or the button fob, plus the entire thing can be taken into the bath or shower as you see fit. Again, who doesn't like that kind of shit? I'll wait.
Both of the glans loops are stretchy so they accommodate all body types. Meanwhile, the device itself features unique dimensions and a dramatically curved tip that makes insertion and removal more substantial. At the same time, the perineum stimulation pad is visibly convex to not only reach but also massage the wearer's taint. And then there's the soft silicone covering, making it ideal for long-term wear, couple's play, BDSM, and even enhanced penile penetration (think: elevated cock ring).
The word “gay” literally means “happy,” but a lot of people wonder why this particular group of people adopted such descriptive nomenclature. It must be due to the fact that homosexuals are having much better sex than the rest of us, according to recent studies. Or maybe it’s because freely expressing yourself with a partner automatically makes a person happier. Either way, your love life will never be on the level of greatness unless you open your mind to the possibilities that are available to you. Case in point: the innocuous gay sex toy – a mainstay on the modern-day market and a surprisingly practical device when used by the right man.
Technically, a sex toy can be anything that’s used to stimulate pleasure on the human body. So, a gay sex toy is then just the same type of object but it gets used on the bodies of homosexual individuals and/or couples. Because of the unique way in which many gay men have sex and masturbate, toys in this category are generally designed with specialized features and anatomically correct dimensions to ensure maximum stimulation. These devices come in all shapes, sizes and colors as well, with components made for both internal and external pleasure. Depending on the manufacturer and their commitment to user-friendliness and industry-standard ergonomics, however, some gay sex toys can be used in tandem with a partner’s device for real-time, interactive fun.
Despite the relatively low population percentage of today’s gay community, it appears that their flagship pleasure products are permeating modern-day culture in a disproportionate way. The social fabric is changing rapidly and in numerous surprising ways, meaning that these devices are now used by more than just homosexual men and for more reasons than the simple, secret sexual escapades most people imagine. To be clear, there are at least four common groups of people who regularly select gay sex toys at checkout:
There should be no shame in your game when playing with a gay sex toy, so if there is, you’ve most likely got a problem. Chances are, you have yet to find the perfect pleasure product because you’re unaware of what things to look for and avoid. Don’t fret, my fine-feathered friends. I have all the info you need and the only thing required is attention and open-mindedness.
When shopping for a male sex toy geared towards homosexual activity, it’s important to remember how clever some of these dastardly merchants can be. Their clever use of imagery and word-wizardry leads many people down the primrose path of broken promises and destroyed dreams (not to mention empty bank accounts). Fortunately, there’s a way around all that hype. You’ve just got to know what to look for and what to avoid. Start with these five things:
Choosing the right gay sex toy doesn’t have to be a pain in the ass (pun intended). In fact, it can be a lot of fun if you’re equipped with enough knowledge and a willingness to say no to the wrong stuff in exchange for the right stuff after exercising patience. You might also want to find out a few simple things about yourself and/or your partner before spending any money. After all, these manufacturers aren’t out here trying to make friends. They want your cold hard cash and they’ll stop at nothing to get it from you it seems.
They say it’s hard to fool someone when they know themselves better than their enemies. And the best way to win at any game of strategy is to remove all the luck by figuring out what your opponent is planning to do. But since it’s impossible to know what these sex toy brands have up their sleeves, the only possible solution is for you to understand certain things about yourself (things that they couldn’t possibly understand). It helps you narrow your search tremendously and can also promote togetherness in a struggling relationship between two homosexual partners who have no idea where to start. Begin the quest with the following considerations:
TIP: For an ultimate showdown, combine penis strokers, cock rings and anal toys whenever possible.
TIP: Be sure to talk to your partner openly and honestly before purchasing or using any gay sex toys.
TIP: Compact and/or quiet devices are most advantageous to people who live with friends, family or roommates.
TIP: If necessary, use a hypoallergenic condom to prevent allergic reactions and skin irritations.
TIP: Try to find something that works alongside a device that’s already in your existing collection.
Remember, when you know yourself better than the marketers do, you become less of a target and more of an industry trendsetter. Help raise the bar on the bastards who have us all so confused. Maybe then it will become easier for us to find the right stuff without wasting every dollar we have to our names in the process.
It doesn’t take a genius to find the right gay sex toy, just like it doesn’t require a gay man to want a homosexually specific device. In fact, more heterosexuals use these toys than most people would imagine, and it’s probably because the human body works the same no matter who you are. It’s hard to say whether the industry will continue specializing in lieu of the relatively low homo population, but with eight million potential customers, it doesn’t seem like the selection will be shrinking any time soon. Know yourself, know your options and know which toys to look at first – that’s pretty much the only way you’ll ever find what you’re looking for.
Q: How do I properly clean and maintain a gay sex toy?
A: The appropriate cleaning routine of any pleasure product will vary widely, so be sure to consult the owner’s manual for more detailed information regarding care and maintenance. In general, however, most devices require little more than a quick rinse under warm, fresh water with a non-abrasive, hypoallergenic sex toy soap or cleaning solution. Always let your device lay out in the open air to properly dry before putting it away. If there’s a manufacturer’s warranty attached, find out what’s covered by the policy and be sure to register it within 30 days of the purchase date to prevent it going void.
Q: Is there a special way to store something like this when I’m not using it?
A: Proper storage for any sex toy can vary widely from one product to another, especially if a device contains any electrical components or delicate moving parts. Always consult the owner’s manual for more detailed information. In general, however, most people will want to keep their gay sex toys put up in a cool, dry place that’s out of direct sunlight. It may also be necessary to prevent exposure to extreme hot/cold temperatures and/or moisture. For many men, the ideal spot is in a bedside table, dresser drawer or in the closet. Whatever you decide, it may be in your best interest to purchase a separate storage container for your device is one is available through the manufacturer.
Q: How do I determine the right size device for myself or a partner?
A: Gay sex toys come in all shapes and sizes, so it’s important to be careful when determining the proper dimensions. To do so, try measuring the length and girth of any penises that might become involved. Do so while the penises are both flaccid and erect. Next, perform a gentle finger test on the anus of both partners to determine how thick or long an insertable device can be. Take notes and use them to compare different options until you find the right one. If all else fails, opt for a machine that can accommodate all penis sizes.
Q: Is there anything I shouldn’t do with a gay sex toy?
A: Rule number one when playing with a gay sex toy: Do not use it anally before using it on another orifice of the body. The human anus is filled with potentially deadly bacteria that can spread quickly, so all backdoor parties need to be supported by responsible behaviors and adequate cleaning supplies. Do not, under any circumstances, share an insertable sex toy with another person without their consent, and for fuck sakes, don’t try to modify the product in any way unless the manufacturer expressly says otherwise.
Q: Do I need any special skills or equipment to use this kind of toy?
A: For the most part, you don’t need anything in particular to enjoy a gay sex toy with or without a partner. However, certain devices may require an additional purchase or two so that the experience as a whole can be enjoyed as intended by the manufacturer. Secondary masturbation units, holsters, mounts, and accessories are always an option and thus should be considered in the making of any budgets. On top of that, you’ll also want to account for sex toy cleaning solutions and personal lubrication, not to mention storage supplies and/or batteries (if needed). Sex toy ownership is a right and a responsibility, so act accordingly.
