5 Techniques to Maximise Your Male Masturbator Experience
Owning a quality male masturbator is just the beginning. The difference between a good experience and an exceptional one often comes down to technique. After years of product development and feedback from thousands of customers, we've compiled the most effective techniques to help you get the most out of your device.
Temperature Play
One of the simplest yet most impactful improvements you can make is warming your device before use. The human body maintains an internal temperature around 37°C—using a cold sleeve creates an immediate disconnect from realistic sensation.
How to do it: Run warm (not hot) water through or over your device for 2-3 minutes before use. Some users also warm their lubricant. The result is a dramatically more realistic and pleasurable experience.
Master Suction Control
Most quality male masturbators, including the Flight Commander, feature some form of suction control—typically an air valve or adjustable cap. Learning to use this effectively transforms the experience.
How to do it: Cover the air hole completely for maximum suction and tightness. Partially uncover it for a lighter sensation. During use, vary the coverage to create waves of intensity. Some users find that building up suction gradually leads to more intense sensations.
Pro Tip
The right amount of lubricant is crucial. Too little creates uncomfortable friction; too much reduces sensation. Start with a moderate amount and add more as needed. Water-based lubricants are compatible with all toy materials.
Vary Your Speed and Rhythm
The internal textures of quality masturbators are designed to provide different sensations at different speeds. Maintaining a single rhythm means you're only experiencing a fraction of what the device offers.
How to do it: Alternate between slow, deliberate strokes that let you feel every texture, and faster movements that blur the textures together. Try rotating the device slightly during use—most internal textures are asymmetrical and offer different feelings at different angles.
Practice Edging
Edging—bringing yourself close to climax and then backing off—is a technique that can significantly enhance the intensity of the eventual release. Male masturbators make this practice easier and more enjoyable.
How to do it: As you approach the point of no return, slow down dramatically or stop completely. Let the intensity subside, then build up again. Repeat this 3-5 times. Many users report that the eventual climax is significantly more intense after edging.
Experiment with Positions
Your body position affects sensation more than you might think. The angle of penetration, the muscles you're engaging, and your overall relaxation all contribute to the experience.
How to do it: Try using your device while lying on your back, sitting, standing, or even on your side. Each position creates different angles and sensations. Some users prefer to hold the device stationary and move their hips; others prefer the opposite. There's no wrong answer—only what works best for you.
Bonus: Aftercare Matters
Taking care of your device ensures it remains hygienic and continues to perform well. Clean it immediately after use with warm water and mild soap or a dedicated toy cleaner. Allow it to dry completely before storage.
For TPE-based products, occasional application of renewal powder (cornstarch-based) helps maintain the soft, realistic texture over time.
The Right Device Makes a Difference
These techniques work best with a quality device that offers the features to support them—adjustable suction, varied internal textures, and premium materials that feel realistic.
The Flight Commander was designed with exactly these techniques in mind. Its adjustable suction cap, multi-zone internal texture, and body-safe TPE construction make it ideal for both beginners learning these techniques and experienced users looking to elevate their practice.
