5 Best Sensory Sex Toys For Men

By: Scarlett Ward

Yes - you read it right. We’re talking about “sensory sex” - not “censored sex”. If you’re here for the latter option, I have to break it to you, but you’re in the wrong place.

Sensory sex is sex that engages all of your senses, sometimes in unexpected and surprising ways, in order to intensify the experience. It helps to deepen your intimacy with your partner and with yourself. This term, otherwise known as sensation play, covers a variety of different sensations, including anything from anal sensations to temperature play all the way to breath play and much more. 

And although sensory sex doesn’t have a gender, if you’re a penis-owning person, you’re in luck because we’re here to provide you with a list of the best sensory sex toys for men and a guide on what to explore if you’re new to the term. 

What is sensory play?

Adult sensory play is anything that stimulates the senses. Sometimes this means depriving yourself of senses to enhance others, and other times it means adding varying degrees of pain, different textures, or different types of sensation to stimulate one (or more) of the five senses. Using accessories and best sensory sex toys for men on the market is a great way to spice up your sex life — especially with a partner!

Light sensation play vs intense sensation play

There are varying degrees of intensity that you can explore. For instance, feathers ticklers provide light shivers of pleasure down your body, and are a great example of light BDSM. The same goes for blindfolds. Heated or cooled sex toys or lube are also a beginner-friendly way to explore temperature play.

A metal Wartenberg wheel, sometimes known as a sensation wheel, can ramp things up but still allow you to play around with the level of pressure applied to the skin. To take things to the next level, consider different forms of impact play like the ones we mentioned above, including crops, paddles, and floggers.

The Best Sensory Sex Toys For Men

1. Nipple clamps for nipple play

Yes, a nipplegasm is a real thing for men. You may want to start by pinching the nipples. But items like nipple suckers or adjustable nipple clamps can wake up all the nerves that reside within your nipples. Combined with a male stroker, it can make for a truly unforgettable experience.

2. Blindfolds for sensory deprivation

While sensory play involves awakening your senses, it can also mean depriving them. When one sense is taken away, the others are heightened. This beginner-friendly introduction to BDSM sensation play can really help you get into the heat of the moment while also adding an element of surprise. 

Vision can absolutely play a role in sensory play which is why it’s one of the best sensory sex toys for men.

Impact play is a form of sensation play BDSM that’s perfect for those who want a good spanking and enjoy pain of various degrees. While you can start exploring this kink with your hand, there are plenty of niches to explore, including paddles, floggers, crops, and whips.

4. A glass dildo for temperature play

Temperature play can be done with borosilicate glass or metal toys that are heated or cool. Another approachable and low-effort way to explore is to invest in a tingling, cooling, or warming gel, lube, or balm that is applied to the body. 

Chrystalino Planets

Finally, a word of warning to anyone lacking basic adulting skills: please do not attempt to warm this one up in your microwave unless burning your house down is your biggest kink.

 

5. A Wartenberg wheel to lightly prick your skin
