Male Masturbators

Male masturbators, also called strokers or masturbation cups, surround the penis with a soft, textured sleeve. Manual strokers are moved by hand, while automatic cups add motorised suction, squeezing, rotation or vibration so the device does the work. They can be used solo or as part of play with a partner.

Manual or automatic?

A manual stroker is simple, quiet and needs no charging. An automatic cup is larger and heavier, but adds a steady rhythm and intensity that are hard to match by hand. Check how many modes it has, how you switch between them and how it charges.

What to compare

• Sleeve depth and opening width, as listed for each product
• The texture inside the sleeve
• Functions: suction, squeeze, vibration or thrusting
• The size and weight of the case
• Whether the sleeve can be removed for cleaning

Use and care

Use plenty of water-based lubricant, start on the gentlest setting and stop if anything feels uncomfortable. After each use, rinse the sleeve with warm water and a mild, unscented soap or a toy cleaner, keep any motor and charging point dry, and let everything air-dry fully before storing it.
