How to use a male stroker toy (and why you’ll love it)
Male stroker toys to transform your pleasure routine
For people with penises, solo play with your hand is often seen as enough to get the job done. In reality, there’s more room for exploration that people aren’t aware of. Although there are tons of vibrators and sex toys for those with vulvas, male stroker toys don’t get the love they deserve.
These pleasure products are masturbation aids for men that can also be used during partnered sex to elevate handjobs. Are male strokers any good?
They’re more than good - they’re a game-changer in the bedroom and can provide an intense finish.
While your hand will always be a solid alternative in a pinch, modern technology has blessed us with manual and automatic strokers galore that feel like real oral sex and penetration.
With these more realistic toys, you can close your eyes and fantasize to your heart’s desire. Here’s everything you need to know about stroker toys and why they should be a part of your pleasure self-care routine.
What is a male stroker?
A stroker is a masturbator for penises. It encloses around the penis to simulate the feeling of penetration or oral sex. Male stroker toys can also help delay orgasm and improve performance anxiety or premature ejaculation.
These toys can have a soft, squishy feel and often have a textured interior for more stimulation. They warm with body temperature, and Some of them even vibrate or suck and rotate, like The One Rotating Stroker, which is the ultimate blowjob machine.

What’s the difference: using male stroker toys or your hand?
Both require lube and a bit of imagination, and both can be used either solo or with a partner. However, a stroker can provide a more realistic feel, cover more surface area, and require much less work. One doesn’t necessarily have to replace the other - sex toys are simply a great way to mix up your routine if you get bored with using your hand.
Making a one-time investment in a male stroker can fulfill all kinds of fantasies, make for a more explosive climax, and boost your pleasure in the long-run, so we’d say it’s well worth it!
What is the best male stroker for men?
Why limit your choices to just one? There are so many options out there, from realistic strokers to more discreet options. There’s no single best male stroker - it will depend on your needs and wants.

How to use a male stroker
Figuring out how to use male stroker sex toys can take some trial and error, depending on which model you choose. You can play in whatever position feels good, whether that’s lying down, sitting, or standing up. Waterproof toys can even be used in the shower or tub for maximum privacy and easier clean-up.
Apply lube
Before we dive into how to use a male stroker, applying a water-based lube is an important step. Otherwise, friction can cause pain and discomfort. Wicked Sensual is a great pick, although some strokers do come with a small single-use sachet for your first time exploring.
Start slow and experiment with strokes
Slowly slide into the toy’s opening to get acquainted with the sensation and texture inside. Going slow can also build anticipation and make for a longer, more luscious session.
Then, play with pressure or speed to see what you enjoy. Fast and furious? Long and slow gliding for a more luxurious feel? A tighter grip or a looser one?
Do the twist
We’re not talking about the dance move…adding a twisting motion can provide a new sensation and make a toy feel completely different. If you want to spice up your playtime, we highly reccomend it!
Explore edging
Want to experience the most intense orgasm ever? Stroke until you’re close to climax, and then stop before hitting the point of no return.
Cool down and start all over again. Repeat as much as you want until you finally want to climax. This self-control is good practice for lasting longer and creating a more explosive finish.
How to clean male stroker sex toys
A male stroker toy is a bit trickier to clean than your typical vibrator. There are more nooks and crannies, after all. The more complex the design, the more thorough cleaning the toy will require.
While you can use sex toy cleaners if you’re short on time, it’s better to thoroughly wash the toy out with warm water and soap, especially if you’ve ejaculated in it.
Many stroker brands reccomend using a refreshing powder on materials like ULTRASKYN™ to maintain quality.
