Where To Find Sex Toys "For Men"

But where are the sex toys for men? If you’ve visited our website you might have noticed that the menu for our products is quite different from many sex toy retailers. We categorize our sex toys and other products by their intended use or the part of the body that they are meant to stimulate rather than assigning them as “sex toys for women” or “sex toys for men.”

Why We Call Them “Penis Toys”

While we absolutely do have sex toys for men and women, we also have toys for everyone, no matter how they identify. It’s part of our brand and our values that all people feel comfortable and welcome in our stores, on our website, and anywhere else Lovers makes an appearance.

Sex toys for men are usually toys that are intended for stimulating and pleasuring people with penises. Other common types of sex toys for men are toys that can be used by people with prostates. We refer to these toys as “penis toys” or “prostate toys” and “anal toys” without gendering them. That allows anyone with a penis or prostate - no matter how they identify - to explore these toys without gender assigned to them. You can find toys for penises and prostates, frenulums, perineums, and testicles at Lovers. Some of the ways we refer to toys more commonly called sex toys for men include: Masturbators, Strokers, Anal Toys, Prostate Toys, Cock Rings, and Dolls. We also have harnesses, dildos and strap ons, penis cages, extensions and sleeves, and penis pumps.

It’s also important to consider that most sex toys can be used in multiple ways and on multiple erogenous zones (please practice caution when you consider using any toy in any way that isn’t listed in the information that comes with that toy). A vibrator, like a wand, can be used by a person with a penis, and an anal toy can be used by a person with a vulva. Sex toys are often equal opportunity pleasure providers and we love that about them!

At Lovers, we pride ourselves on that! Equal opportunity pleasure!

To Summarize (TL;DR):

If you’re looking for sex toys for men on our website - your won’t find that term, but you will find plenty of toys that meet your needs!
We categorize toys by the body part they are intended to stimulate and pleasure; think ‘penis toys’ or ‘prostate toys.’
We prefer people-first language rather than gendering because Lovers is a safe space for everybody and every body. Toys don’t have a gender, so we don’t give them one.
