Strokers, sleeves, pocket-pussies… whatever you call them, masturbators are designed to intensify a man's pleasure during masturbation or sex with a partner. But with such a large market, it is easy to get confused by the variety offered. Look no further! Here are the basics on the different kinds of masturbators that BetterSex.com® offers.

Masturbator varieties

Male masturbators come in 7 basic styles: handheld sleeves, handheld vaginal shaped, handheld anal shaped, handheld mouth shaped, larger dolls and toys, porn star molded, and the "off the beaten path" variety.
