Men's sex toy

What are the erogenous zones?

As it turns out, men have numerous erogenous zones, and sex toys exist for each and every one of them.

• the penis and testicles: the best-known zone! The penis becomes more sensitive when erect: as blood flows in, it swells, and the sensory receptors rise to the surface of the skin, making them far more responsive. There are around 4,000 of them in the glans alone — a true sensory powerhouse.
• the perineum: this area between the testicles and the anus is often overlooked, yet it offers very interesting sensations. The "roots" of the penis extend into it (which is why the perineum swells during erection), and they can be stimulated through massage of the area. Above it lies the prostate, which can be indirectly stimulated by applying pressure to the perineum. In short, a spot not to be neglected.
• the anus: rich in nerve endings, the very thin skin of the peri-anal area, the anus itself and the anal canal that extends from it all offer delicious sensations.
• the prostate: this plum-sized gland, located in front of the rectum, produces seminal fluid… but it's also a true pleasure powerhouse! Stimulating it can amplify the intensity of orgasm, as well as unlock the experience of multiple, deeply intense orgasms.

Which sex toys stimulate the penis?

Cockrings / vibrating rings

Cockrings are rings worn around the penis and/or testicles. To start, we recommend choosing cockrings made from soft, stretchy silicone, which are easier to put on and more comfortable. There is also a wide variety of rings:

• worn around the shaft: these slip onto the already-erect penis and prevent blood from flowing back. The erection is slightly fuller, lasts longer, and the glans becomes more sensitive.
• figure-of-eight: these fit around the shaft and at the base of the testicles. They have the same effect on the penis as classic cockrings, while the lower section increases sensitivity in the testicles.
• diagonal: wider than classic cockrings, these are put on before erection and pass around the testicles and penis (forming a diagonal). They help delay ejaculation by applying pressure behind the testicles.
• for the perineum: these cockrings fit around the shaft and testicles, and feature an extension that presses against — or vibrates at — the perineum. They delay ejaculation and maximise pleasure.
• vibrating: a vibrating motor stimulates the partner during penetration.

Masturbators

• eggs and mini masturbators: these small elastomer sleeves are textured and placed over the glans to heighten sensations during masturbation. Most of them are reusable between 4 and 6 times.
• masturbation sleeves: designed on the same principle as eggs, these are sleeves into which the entire shaft can be inserted. More or less textured, their ridges stimulate the penis with every stroke.
• high-tech sleeves: these sleeves come in several forms. Some are designed solely for the glans, while others envelop the entire penis. In every case, the motors inside these sleeves stimulate the shaft in a completely new way: vibrations, pulsations, warming effect… the choice is wide and the sensations are revolutionary.
• man-wands: these vibrating sex toys all feature a "U"-shaped section into which the penis is placed. They produce orgasms quickly and can even be used on a flaccid penis — making them suitable for people who experience erectile difficulties.

Penis enlargers

These products come in the form of a tube into which the flaccid penis is inserted. A pump system then creates a vacuum (air or water). The pressure difference draws a significant amount of blood to the shaft, producing an impressive erection and a highly sensitive penis. For maximum and longer-lasting effect, place a cockring at the base of the penis right after using the pump — even more pleasure during your intimate moments!

Which sex toys stimulate the anal area?

The anal area is rich in nerve endings, and stimulating it can produce delicious sensations. Always choose sex toys with a wide base (to keep insertion safe), and don't skimp on the lube. Anal mucous membranes are delicate, so it's important to protect them by using a suitable lube.

Plugs and dildos

There are 3 types of sex toys designed to stimulate the anal area:

• plugs, bullet-shaped toys with a narrowed neck. They allow for gradual insertion and stay in place once inserted, leaving your hands free for other pleasures.
• anal beads, made up of strings of beads of varying sizes. Insert the sex toy gently, then as you feel pleasure building, slowly withdraw the toy. Amplified orgasm, multiplied pleasure!
• dildos, sex toys of more or less phallic shape, designed to stimulate the anal canal and rectum through friction, using back-and-forth movements.

Prostate stimulators

• vibrating: this type of prostate stimulator is particularly recommended for use alongside penile stimulation. Curved, these toys apply constant pressure to the prostate, and the vibrations spread to maximise stimulation. Go for prostate stimulators with 2 motors: one sits internally against the prostate, and the other rests on the perineum to stimulate it. You'll recognise them easily — these sex toys are shaped with 2 arms at almost a right angle.
• rotating: for some people, vibrations can have a slightly desensitising effect. In that case, it's worth turning to sex toys whose internal part performs rotating movements. The stimulation is intense and works through successive pressure on the prostate. Some of these prostate stimulators also feature a vibrating perineal arm to stimulate the perineum.
• non-vibrating: this type of sex toy is particularly recommended for "pure" prostate stimulation, without penile stimulation. The sex toy moves with the rhythm of your sphincter contractions and applies precise pressure to the prostate while stimulating the anal canal. It's the best way to explore your body and ultimately achieve "super-Os" — that is, intense, multiple orgasms.

Can men's sex toys help improve stamina in bed?

Yes, and it's actually one of their main functions. Premature ejaculation affects 25% of men on a regular basis. Using a masturbator or a ring is a way to practise control. Tests on the Yesforlov gel show, for example, that 83% of men have better control over their sensations after use. It's a genuine performance training tool.

Is it normal for a man to use a sex toy?

It's an increasingly common practice. Attitudes are changing: 18% of Passage du Désir customers have already bought a masturbator, and 21.3% a vibrating ring (2024 study based on 11,569 customers). The 2022 IFOP study also reveals that 62% of men are concerned about penis size, which explains the popularity of penis pumps (hydro pumps) for maintaining erectile function.

Which men's sex toys are recommended for erectile issues?

Rings and pumps are the technical allies of erection. Erectile issues affect 41% of men at some point in their lives. To address them without medication, penile rings (cockrings) maintain blood flow, while vacuum pumps help trigger erection mechanically. These devices are recognised sexual health solutions.
