For guys, using the palm to masturbate is a habit unchanged for millennia, and many are reluctant to invest in a male sex toy. However, there is something special about using male sex toys as masturbation aids, especially the male stroker. Here, we discuss how to use a stroker and how this male sex toy enhances masturbation.
What Is a Stroker?
The stroker is a male sex toy that is designed as a sleeve that guys use to penetrate; it stimulates the penis shaft and the penis glans. The strokers are often referenced as pocket pussies; pocket pussies have a different design than strokers; pocket pussies are intended for manual use and usually don’t have extra features other than having entrances shaped like vagina, mouth, or ass. The stroker is a more high-tech device that, apart from providing targeted stimulation on the shaft and glans, can also vibrate, suck, or thump for more targeted stimulation on the penis.

How to Use a Stroker?
The stroker is effortless to use. But, before you stick your penis in a sleeve, you don’t know what it does; you should test the features and options. Test the options and learn what the buttons do, as you don’t want to slip your penis in a sleeve that vibrates at high speed and even hurts your favorite organ. Here, our experts share a bullet list of how to use a stroker:
- Add water-based lube to your penis and the stroker
- Slowly insert your penis in the sleeve and stroke your penis
- Press the control buttons to engage the extra features and play with the options
How to Choose a Stroker?
You now know how to use a stroker, but we need to outline how to choose a stroker. You can select between various models like:
When you select the type of stroker you want, here are the other factors you need to consider:
- How you want to use it – how you want to use the stroker will determine the type you should get. Do you want to use it alone, with a partner, or want to take it with you on your travels? If you want a travel-friendly toy, you should look for a smaller, lighter model that is quiet; if you only use it at home, you can get a larger model with more features.
- Expected sensations – you need to choose your stroker based on the sensations you want to experience, and you can choose between suction, pulling, friction, warming, vibrations, air pressure, and more.
- Available budget – you can get a decent manual stroker for about $20, but you can get a much more advanced model if your budget is over $100. Here, we need to note that the less expensive models are made from TPE/TPR and other porous materials, while the silicone strokers and the automatic strokers are more expensive.
Why Use a Stroker?
We have an excellent offer of strokers in our store, and all are designed with male pleasure in mind. But for the people who are reluctant to try one, here are some of the reasons why you should use a stroker:
- Internal texture – almost all strokers feature textured internal channels that can be ribs, bumps, grooves, and something else, and these stimulate the shaft as you slide it up and down your penis. The soft interior massages the penis and adds to the sensations, but it does not chafe or hurt. Depending on the design, you can even squeeze the outer wall and have extra pressure on your shaft.
- Increased sensations – the strokers can be manual or high-tech, but all are designed for enhanced pleasure. Some high-tech models have a warming feature; they vibrate, thrust, and even suck or blow air around your shaft. These sensations can be targeted on the glans of the shaft, and some models also include the testicles for a profoundly pleasurable masturbation session.
- Fantasy fulfillment – there are lifelike strokers that are molded from the bodies of actual porn stars and are made from lifelike materials, which bring you an unmatched realistic experience. Some are designed as everyday items like a flashlight, a can, or a water bottle on the outside but hide a porn star’s vagina or mouth at the business end of the sleeve.
How to Clean a Stroker?
Cleaning a stroker is simple; you need to remove the inner sleeve from the outer shell if you have such a model. The sleeves are designed from soft, pliable materials that you can wash with water.
There are open-ended and close-ended models, and these require a different approach to cleaning. The open-ended design requires a simple rinse with soap and warm water and a spray with antibacterial sex toy cleaner, and they’ll be spic-and-span in no time.
The close-ended stroker requires more diligence to clean, but it is also straightforward. You need to rinse it carefully with soapy water, making sure to rinse all lube and residue from the inside; you may have to do this several times to remove and clean everything. If you have a silicone stroker, you can try to invert it inside out, which will significantly facilitate cleaning everything.
After you clean and wash your stroker, if it is made from TPE/TPR, you should sprinkle it with renewing powder or cornstarch to ensure it will not become sticky with use. Make sure it is dry and store it in a separate sex toy storage bag to avoid contamination and contact with other sex toys.
