If you’ve intrigued by c-shaped vibrators, but you’re looking for something even more flexible, Sells has been intrigued by the Crescendo from Mystery Vibe. “They’re marketing it as the first unisex and universal vibrator,” she explains. “So if you look at it online, it does have that phallic shape, but you can bend it and mold it kind of however you want.” Because it’s so adjustable, you can really use it in any number of positions, penetrative or not.
“Cock rings are very important as a male pleasure toy,” says Bard. She particularly likes the We-Vibe Pivot: “[It’s] really popular, definitely the ‘Cadillac’” of cock rings. “You can control it on the actual toy if you want,” says Bard, but the best part is the included smartphone app. “You can share it with up to ten people, and they can control it from anywhere in the world and fully customize the vibration patterns.” Or you can also use it from across the dinner table. “It’s [even more discreet] than having a remote in your pocket,” because it just looks like you’re on your phone.
There’s also a new product called the Ohnut, recommended by both Deysach and Ligon, which allows the user to control depth during penetrative sex. According to Ligon, it’s a set of stackable silicone rings that acts like a buffer for people whose penises are longer and can cause pain on their partner’s cervix or uterus, for instance, when they thrust. “It takes off as much length as you need in a comfortable seamless way,” says Ligon. “It’s a really innovative piece of sex technology that is not motorized.”
Probably the newest and most innovate stroker toy around, the Manta is very popular amongst those in the know. “It’s unlike any other sex toy on the market,” says Finn. “The soft, velvety silicone head is contoured to flex around the penis, and is designed with ridges along the inside of the wings that holds lubricant in place for added sensation.” Richardson is a big fan of the Manta as well: “It’s perfect if you’re looking to intensify a BJ or masturbation routine.”
The Pulse from London–based Hot Octopuss is branded as the world’s first “guybrator.” But a better way to describe it would be as something between a vibrating cock ring and a masturbation sleeve. The toy cups the penis, and, as Morse explains, “It has this little oscillation inside. It’s not really a vibrator, but it oscillates on the underside of his penis, where the frenulum is, meaning the underside of the penis, where there’s this really sensitive spot.” And on the Pulse Duo, which is designed for couples, the outside also vibrates; that means a partner can simultaneously get stimulation by rubbing against the device, as the male-bodied partner is getting pleasure from the oscillation. It’s a great device for foreplay or for partners who prefer non-penetrative sex.
Another nice option for those trying to get a slightly different perspective is sex furniture, like the Liberator Wedge. “For a lot of women and men, there’s certain positions that can be really uncomfortable, but when you elevate your pelvis with this wedge,” it can help make things a little easier, says Morse. “For women it can help with G-spot stimulation, it can help make doggy style more comfortable. It can help make oral sex more comfortable. That’s truly playful and fun.”
