Is a Masturbator really better than the ol' five fingers?

Contributor: Petite Valentine Petite Valentine
I'd like to gift a masturbator to my husband, but when I tried to get him to pick one he said it would be a waste of money because his hand has worked just fine so far. Having never used one myself (I lack the proper parts ), I don't have a rebuttal to this argument.

Calling all males! Calling all males! What are the benefits of masturbators over a plain old hand job? Are there any?

Informative topic breakdown of Finger vibrators:

Another Fingering Question
Do you...Or have you ever fingered your mans butt hole?? I think thats just super weird...So have you?

Do you like fake fingernails?
I hate them. I don't understand why anyone would wear them. They're unhealthy, from all I've read, and to me, they look terrible. What's your opinion.

Where are the finger condoms/finger cots?
Is it just me or does Eden not carry finger condoms? This seems so bizarre but I can't find any anywhere on the site.

When I finger it feels good the first few seconds but then it goes away!
Like I'm really sensitive and it feels great for a few seconds but after that it goes away and I can never get it back. Needless to say i have never.

Favorite during sex finger vibe?
are there any good ones?

It greatly depends on the masturbator and, even then, the internal texture is often the most important thing to consider. You can't go wrong with one of the Tenga Flip Holes or the Fleshlights, although some Fleshlights are certainly better than the others. It's a toss-up with less expensive masturbators as some are very good while others are about a fun as humping a bowl of jello (no, I haven't tried that).

As far a benefits are concerned, good masturbators are GREAT to use and provide many more sensations than a good-ole hand job. While hand jobs will never go out of style - heck, they're very convenient - masturbators provide a lot more variety.

It really depends on what his usage of it will be, and what he prefers. For me, a masterbator can feel great, but nothing beats (pun intended) the ease of five fingers as you stated. They are easier, less mess, and always available with very little clean up needed.

The only positive I can say about a masterbator, is as another poster stated, the do provide a lot more variety and different sensations that a hand just can't achieve on its own.

Great question! I have some male friends who would love nothing more to have one or two and then others who say they would never use one, but I personally think that's just because they feel uncomfortable about it because it's foreign to them. If I had male parts, I know I'd be sticking it in anything I could try, no shame about it! LOL

To me it is like getting a little 'strange'. Ya know, Rosy the right gets boring so you switch to Lucy the left, but then what? Get out Stoya's Fleshlight or Tenga's Flip Hole of course. Nothing like changing it up now and then.

The thing is, if he does not care to try one it may be a hard sell. Might be better to surprise him one night, pull it out and use it on him.

After having a discussion about this with a friend, it seems a masturbator is a perk when you have the time and interest to really ENJOY it. The problem is many if not most men only spend a quick moment when they masturbate. There is no love in it. IF however he takes the time to enjoy himself, or you can use a toy on him in that way... you will both clearly see the difference.

Another thing to think about is the toy you select. Clearly when a man has a willing hungry woman at his side, there is less need for a traditional masturbation toy. So... you will want to select ones that do NOT try to mimic natural sensations. Pick ones that are more outrageous and pure joy, instead of the ones claiming to "Feel like the real thing"

If you do this, I'm sure you will both have fun with it!
