Male masturbators give a better-than-real feel, with textures that stimulate and tease the nerve endings in the penis better than a hand ever could.

Male masturbators, like strokers, make a great first time sex toy for men – they're easy to use, inexpensive, easy to clean and give out-of-this-world stimulation.

They also make a great addition to couple’s play, spicing up any kind of hand or mouth action. If you or your partner have reservations about male sex toys because of their realistic look, a non-anatomical masturbator is a great alternative.

These are Lovehoney customer-favourite strokers:

Tit wanking is something that you see a lot in porn. Which naturally means that a lot of people want to try it. It can be difficult at first though, figuring out who goes where and what would make it easier.

Tit wanking is when a man thrusts his penis between the breasts until he's climaxed or you're both ready to move on to something else. It can be combined with oral stimulation of the shaft and head of the penis for him, as well as nipple play for her. There are loads of ways to give a tit wank that make it enjoyable for both partners.

Porn can give a slightly skewed version of how a tit wank works; not everyone is amazingly flexible with massive boobs, after all.

This practical guide will give you some ideas on how to give a tit wank and explain some ways to make it an enjoyable experience for both of you.

We also have a range of tit wank sex toys that are great for getting the same sensation without a partner.

A typical day in the life at Lovehoney can often lead to unusual and unusually entertaining conversations and to equally unusual parts of the Internet. Currently we're stroking our chins over how best to make fake vaginas and marvelling at the ingenuity displayed by people who have had similar thoughts.

The classic site Home Made Sex Toys has a great article on how to make a Fleshlight style masturbator, which is quite possibly the best use of an empty Pringles tube we've ever seen.

"When stored with the lid on, the homemade flashlight can be conveniently camouflaged as an innocent can of potato chips," says the site. Yes, camouflaged right up to the moment that your mum comes round and reaches for the pre-dinner nibbles…

Over at Steady Health there's a fantastic thread which details how to turn a towel and a rubber glove into an uncannily realistic fake vagina. It does sound fantastically complicated though. I know I'm biased, but I would suggest that treating yourself to a male sex toy from Lovehoney is a lot less hassle (and, dare I say it, a lot more fun).

But it's great to see someone pitch in with some great, succinct advice: "Bubble wrap and ice pack quite good"

Buying your first dildo is an exciting experience but learning how to clean it isn't quite as thrilling. However, with a little practice you'll discover that sex toy maintenance is actually very easy and quick to do!

First, establish what material your dildo is made from. You can find this out by checking the packaging it came in or looking at the product details.

Once you know what material it is, simply check our guide below to find out exactly what you need to do to keep your dildo in tip-top shape.

Customers often ask why they can't buy Adult DVDs on Lovehoney. We do not sell any Adult DVDs because although they are easily available on the Internet, it's not always clear which movies can be supplied legally in the UK.

Buying X-rated movies on the Internet is confusing at best and downright baffling at worst. Different rules apply to different rating certificates and different countries.

We spoke to Customs and Excise and the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) to get the facts.

A little tender loving care will go a long way to ensuring your Fleshlight male sex toy will give you a life-time of enjoyment.

After use, remove the gel Fleshlight insert from the plastic canister and run hot tap water through it to remove fluid deposits.

Towel-dry or air-dry the gel insert.

The gel insert will feel tacky or sticky after washing - this is normal.

To restore the original silky feeling of the insert, powder it with corn starch. Powdering it is not necessary to care for the insert.

To properly re-position the gel insert inside the plastic canister, reach through the small end of the canister and pull the insert down into place.
