Why choose a male sex toy?

The benefits of penis sex toys

Sex toys are excellent aids for self-pleasure, but also to heighten your sensations tenfold during sex. Sex toys are as much about self-exploration as they are about improving your overall well-being.

A sex toy is above all a simple, effective way of discovering new sensations and a better understanding of what really makes you feel good. These vibrating or stimulating objects allow you to break the routine and explore at your own pace, without any pressure.

In terms of well-being, it's also an excellent stress reliever. Taking a moment to yourself, to relax and release any tension really does make a difference, both physically and mentally.

In a relationship, pleasure accessories can also help strengthen your intimacy. A stimulator opens up discussions about desires and preferences, and allows you to explore new experiences together.

Common misconceptions about penis sex toys

Clichés around male sex toys continue to persist. However, we've come a long way: these days, we're talking about cutting-edge technology and designs designed for comfort and pleasure.

According to common prejudices about male sex toys, using a pleasure accessory would be an admission of weakness or lack. This is entirely untrue! Instead, it's a way of exploring and enriching your intimate life, whether it's on your own or with a partner. Sex toys are tools to help you get to know yourself better and to feel more at ease with your body.

When it comes to the design, forget the image of cheap or uncomfortable sex toys. The new models are elegant, modern and easy to incorporate into your daily life.

Why try a male sex toy?

A male sex toy is a way to amplify your pleasure and to discover sensations you never even knew you had.

It's also a great way to break the routine and get off the beaten track, without having to change your partner or situation. It's a moment to yourself, where you're totally free to try out whatever feels good to you, at your own pace.

The essential criteria for choosing your first male sex toy

Intuitive use and ergonomics

 Choosing a sex toy is an intimate decision. It has to match your desires and your usual practices. There's no point in buying features you don't use. Think about the ergonomics: look at the design and ask yourself if the object seems easy and effortless to use. Technology also plays an important role. Motors, intensities, tapping: choose what seems the most intuitive to you.

Reliable and discrete 

 A good sex toy makes itself invisible when it needs to be. It needs to be compact, discreet and easy to carry. The ideal sex toy is silent, has a reliable battery and is easy to recharge. Compact, practical and easy to use: it should adapt to your needs.

Choice of materials

When you choose a sex toy, the material makes all the difference. Choose high-quality medical silicone accessories. This hypoallergenic material is soft to the touch and guarantees comfortable use, even over time.

Comfort also means safety. High-quality materials like silicone not only guarantee a pleasant touch, but also impeccable hygiene. They are easy to clean and last longer. In short, it's an investment in quality and your well-being.

The different types of sex toys and their functions

Vibration and vibrating masturbators

The first function is vibration: a sex toy stimulates the erogenous zones, i.e. particularly sensitive areas of the body, such as the nipples, the frenulum or the glans. Nerve stimulation will awaken your pleasure hormones, as well as stimulate the blood flow.

We have a large selection of vibrating sex toys, with different shapes to accommodate any part of the body and different body shapes. They are often versatile and provide an immersive experience.

Starter, our vibrating masturbator, for example, is an astonishing blend of simplicity and relevance, with its 10 vibration modes: absolutely perfect for beginners.

Tapping technology 

Tapping is a technology that simulates rhythmic movements by imitating light percussion, for stimulation that's closer to natural physical sensations. Instead of using a continuous vibration, tapping produces more pulsating sensations, like small, repetitive taps. 

The  Pleasure Assist function on our Sub.One tapping masturbator is unique on the market: its built-in sensors make it possible to increase the tapping intensity in real time simply by pressing the stimulator, for intuitive use and tailor-made pleasure. 

Hybrid sex toys: multidimensional exploration

Hybrid sex toys are designed to expand the number of ways you can use them and to enrich your experience with one single object. At Manwan, our hybrid toys are technological powerhouses designed to allow you to try out different options with the help of a design that has been carefully thought out down to the smallest detail: 

• The  Ryzer penis sleeve can be used on your own for masturbation, but also with a partner to heighten your sensations tenfold; 
• The Man.Wand EVO adapts to all areas of the body, as well as to games for two: while it's designed to stimulate the frenulum and glans, its flexible silicone head can also massage your partner's erogenous zones.

For a first accessory, these technological innovations allow you to explore many different dimensions of pleasure with one single device, so that each use is unique and tailored to your desires.
