No. 1 · Aneros
Best overall
Aneros Helix Syn Trident
The hands-free Aneros people mean. Soft silicone over a firm core. Perineum tab. You move it with muscle, not a remote. No vibration unless you buy the V.
Pros
- Silicone coating
Cons
- Hands-free takes practice. Night one can feel like nothing
- No motor. If you wanted buzz, that's Helix Syn V or Hugo 2
Why it ranks: The prostate massager that converted a generation. Your own muscle contractions rock it in place, no hands, no batteries, all slow-build pleasure.

Pros
- Adjustable angle for a custom fit
- Inside and outside at once
- Play together from anywhere
Cons
- App only, no remote
- Firmer than the Aneros
Why it ranks: Vibration where it counts, and an adjustable arm that fits your body. Hand the app to a partner across town and let them take over.

No. 3 · b-Vibe
Best plug
b-Vibe Snug Plug 1
Finger-sized weighted plug. About 0.9 across. Around 55 grams. Thin neck. T-base. The first named plug if a training set looks like homework.
Pros
- Body-safe silicone
Cons
- Small. You may outgrow it in a month
- Still a plug. Lube. Flared base. Don't skip either
Why it ranks: The weighted core moves as you move, so you feel it with every step and every stroke. Size 1 is a confident place to start.

No. 4 · njoy
njoy Pure Plug
Stainless plug. Weighted. Tapered neck. Sizes are millimeters, not vibes. Metal does not flex. The neck is why it stays.
Pros
- Body-safe stainless steel
- Flared base
Cons
- Pick the size from the millimeter chart, not a mood
- Hard. Lube. Slow
Why it ranks: Heavy, smooth and gorgeous. Polished steel warms or chills on request and holds its place beautifully.

Air pumps squeeze the sleeve in waves while a motor hums. Hand the app to a partner anywhere.
Pros
- Squeezes in waves on its own
- App control near or far

Notes from Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer)
Notes from Bedside CSO (Chief Sex Officer)
The best toys for gay men work with what your body already loves. The prostate sits about two inches inside and responds to steady pressure with orgasms that roll instead of peak. A weighted plug brings fullness to everything else you do. A great stroker makes solo nights feel like a date.
These eight picks cover prostate play, plugs, a dildo, strokers and a cock ring, from beginner-friendly to bucket list. Each was in stock at the price shown on October 15, 2026.
Before you buy
Buying guide
Start with the prostate
A prostate massager like the Aneros Helix Syn Trident uses your own muscle contractions to rock against the gland, hands-free. The Lovense Edge 2 adds vibration and app control. Go slow, use lots of lube and give it a few sessions: prostate orgasms reward patience.
Build your drawer
A weighted plug like the b-Vibe Snug Plug makes masturbation and sex feel fuller. A soft cock ring adds firmness and sensitivity. A great stroker like the TENGA Flip Zero, or the Lovense Max 2 for long-distance, covers the front.

Mistakes to avoid
Lube and care
Pair silicone toys with a thick water-based or hybrid lube for anal, and keep silicone lube for glass, steel or skin. Wash toys with warm water and mild soap or a toy cleaner after each use. Every toy here has a flared base or a handle, so nothing goes too far.
