When Shakespeare wrote that the course of true love never did run smooth, maybe he was just admitting he wasn’t using a good lube. Sexual pleasure is a big part of dating for lots of people, and while sometimes the best sex is just naked bodies and nothing else, we’d also be silly to pretend that a few high-quality products can’t turn things up a notch — or several.
So, to make sure your frisky frolicking doesn’t end in disappointment, we’ve put together a list of our favorite bedroom toys, bedroom products, and intimate apparel. Welcome to the 2022 AskMen Dating Awards, bedroom products edition:
Bedroom Toys
Best High-Tech Male Toy
Lelo F1s V2 Stroker
Lelo
Masturbation has come a long way since the days of just using your hand. While there’s nothing wrong with going old-school, there’s also nothing wrong with entering the space age of self-pleasure — in the form of the Lelo F1s V2. App-controllable? Check. Multiple motors? Check. Soft, articulated sleeve? Check. Window so you can see inside for some reason? Also check. All this in a distinctly portable package makes the F1s V2’s pleasure potential genuinely hard to deny.
Finalists: Fleshlight Launch, Arcwave Ion Masturbator

Best Low-Tech Male Toy
Satisfyer Masturbator Eggs
Satisfyer
The tagline for these ingenious things is “just add water.” They come in an egg-size package, but when you quickly run them under warm water, they soften up and become, well, a stretchy, slippery, strokeable sleeve. Absolutely a genius concept and the execution (eggs-ecution?) is no less impressive. If not for the fact that these are single-use toys, they’d be perfect. As it is, they’re a great alternative to hard-shell strokers and absolutely perfect for a little solo time when you’re traveling and don’t want a big toy taking up a lot of space in your luggage.
Finalists: Astroglide Toy ‘n Joy Finisher, Fleshlight Flight Pilot

Best Fellatio Toy
Autoblow AI+
Autoblow
With the Autoblow AI+, Autoblow founder Brian Sloan has created a one-of-a-kind toy. Literally — it might be one of the only remaining toys out there that you have to plug in to use. However, with an extremely long cord, that’s not much of an issue, and the benefits — such as significantly increased power over battery-powered toys — enable the Autoblow AI+ to deliver a robo blowjob that both mimics and rivals the real thing. With eight different modes and a ninth one that combines them all, all programmed off hours of real BJ footage from porn, this is a toy that has to be felt to be believed.
Finalists: SVAKOM Alex Neo Masturbator, Kiiroo Keon Interactive Masturbator

Best Couples Toy
We-Vibe Chorus
We-Vibe
Ahhh, sex. Just you, another attractive naked person, and — a toy? For a lot of guys, that’s news, but couples toys can turn up the heat in bed in a big way. Lots of the other options on this list could work as an addition to coupled sex, but some toys are designed just for that. Like the We-Vibe Chorus, which stimulates the G-spot and the clit while vibrating against the shaft of a penetrating penis all at the same time. That’s called win-win-win.
Finalists: MysteryVibe Crescendo 2, Dame Eva II
Check out the We-Vibe Chorus
Best Clit Toy
Womanizer Premium 2
Womanizer
The concept of using air suction to stimulate the clitoris instead of motorized vibration is no longer the cutting-edge leap forward it was a few years ago, but that hasn’t dimmed its orgasmic potential one bit, and the originators of the genre have yet to be unseated. The Womanizer Premium is small, quiet, powerful, and able to deliver multiple orgasms without ever causing soreness. It’s an easy addition to partnered sex, but also great for solo fun if you need a breather between rounds.
Finalists: Lelo Sila Cruise, Rosegasm Air Suction Vibe
Check out the Womanizer Premium 2
Best Clit/G-Spot Combo Toy
Tracy’s Dog
Tracy’s Dog
It’s got a head-scratching name, but it brings back-arching pleasure. The Tracy’s Dog adds an internal G-spot vibrator to the air-suction clit toy mix, delivering powerful blended orgasms for any person with a vagina. Use it to give your partner pleasure while engaging in anal or oral sex, or simply sit back and watch the magic happen.
Finalists: Lelo Enigma, Womanizer InsideOut
Check out the Tracy’s Dog
Best Vibrator
Magic Wand Mini
Magic Wand
Air suction technology is nice, but it’s not for everyone. Some people just want their clit pulverized by a powerful motor, and those people are valid, too. Enter the Magic Wand Mini, which replicates the power of the full-size wand without requiring anyone to lug a toy the size of their forearm into bed.
Finalists: Lovehoney Desire Luxury Rechargeable Wand, Zumio S
Check out the Magic Wand Mini
Best Prostate Toy
Lelo Hugo Prostate Massager
Lelo
Not every guy is brave enough to enjoy his prostate being played with — but that’s OK. It just makes those who do seem a little bit less squeamish by comparison. If you’re out for some backdoor pleasure of your own, the Hugo by Lelo is convincingly best-in-class. Remote-controlled, dual-motor pleasure dancing all over your P-spot? Yes, please.
Finalists: We-Vibe Vector, Fun Factory Duke
Check out the Lelo Hugo Prostate Massager
Best Phallus Ring
We-Vibe Pivot
We-Vibe
While it is possible to have good sex without a hard penis involved, for many people, that’s not the preference. And for spurring erections, there’s no toy quite like a cock ring. There are lots of perfectly good low-tech rings out there, but why settle for that? The We-Vibe Pivot is a top-notch vibrating ring that’s app-controlled, meaning you can experience its delights up close and from a distance.
Finalists: MysteryVibe Tenuto 2, Lelo Tor 2
Check out the We-Vibe Pivot
Best Long-Distance Toy
Lovense Lush 3
Lovense
This Bluetooth-capable G-spot vibrator is able to deliver powerful orgasms in one of two modes — nearby or far away. Which means it’s perfect if you’re going on a sexy date and want to make your partner cum in public by controlling the vibrator with your phone, but it’s also perfect if you’re in a long-distance setup (or one of you is traveling) and you want to control your partner’s vibration experience in real time. It’s also got a setup for matching the beat of songs, but the partner-control aspect is the real kicker.
Finalists: We-Vibe Tease Us Kit, Kiiroo Onyx+ & Pearl2 Couple Set
Check out the Lovense Lush 3
Best Strap
Strap-On-Me Large Vibrating Strap On
Strap-On-Me
Don’t have a penis but still want to experience the thrill of thrusting into your date? The Strap-On-Me Vibrating Strap On is what you need. While not everyone will be able to use it without a harness as it claims, it’s designed to give the wearer G-spot and clitoral pleasure while a third motor in the tip of the shaft gives the penetrated party some pleasure of their own. What’s not to like?
Finalists: Fun Factory Share Lite, Lovehoney Strap-On Harness Kit

Bedroom Products
Best Water-Based Lube
Satisfyer Men Neutral Lubricant
Satisfyer
Sex isn’t sex without lubrication, and thankfully someone invented lubes, because sometimes you need a little help from a bottle before proceeding. Water-based lubes are the most common type of lube for a reason; they’re easy to use, easy to clean off, and they play well with toys (more on that later). Our favorite in this category has a boring name but, like any lube, it’s not supposed to be the star of the show — it’s a supporting role to, ah, grease the wheels.
Finalists: Astroglide Liquid, Good Clean Love Almost Naked Personal Lubricant
Check out Satisfyer Men Neutral Lubricant
Best Silicone-Based Lube
Swiss Navy Premium Silicone-Based Lubricant
Swiss Navy
Silicone-based lube is a tricky one, with both benefits and drawbacks that water-based lube doesn’t carry, as it lasts longer and is generally slipperier, but also can’t be used with most sex toys as it’ll start to degrade them, and stains much worse should you get any on your sheets. However when you’re going toy-free and/or in a location with no sheets, Swiss Navy’s Premium Silicone-Based lube is pretty close to perfection.
Finalists: Überlube Silicone Lubricant, Sliquid Naturals Silver Silicone Lubricant
Check out Swiss Navy Premium Silicone-Based Lubricant
Best Flavored Lube
#LubeLife Pina Colada Flavored Lubricant
#LubeLife
Planning to switch between penetration and oral and want a lube that tastes good? Flavored is the way to go. We love #LubeLife’s Pina Colada flavor. It’s water-based but boasts a boozy taste, and it’ll make your hookup feel distinctly tropical.
Finalists: Lovehoney Birthday Cake Flavored Lubricant, Astroglide Strawberry Liquid
Check out #LubeLife Pina Colada Flavored Lubricant
Best Backdoor Lube
Pure for Men Coconut-Based Lube
Pure for Men
If you’re doing anal, you need to use lube because the anus is not self-lubricating. But not all lubes are created equal; for anal, you want one that’s specifically formulated for backdoor pleasures — something that lasts, feels good and smells nice. Pure for Men’s Coconut-Based Lube nails all three with a pleasing vanilla-y scent and an unbelievably slippery texture to make sure your fun is nothing but smooth sailing.
Finalists: Hello Cake Tush Cush, #LubeLife Water-Based Anal Lubricant
Check out Pure for Men Coconut-Based Lube
Best PE Product
Roman Swipes
Roman
Nobody wants to show up to a party just as it’s ending. But for lots of guys, that’s exactly what premature ejaculation issues feel like — the fun starts and then it’s over, blink-and-you-miss-it style. With Roman Swipes, that’s no longer an issue. They’re wipes that come in discreet, condom-size packaging, armed with a powerful numbing agent that lets you feel the sex without, you know, feeling it too much.
Finalists: Promescent Delay Spray, Dynamo Delay Spray
Check out Roman Swipes
Best ED Pill
Bluechew
Bluechew
If you prefer your erectile aid to come in the form of a pill rather than a toy, you’re in luck, because the market has spawned some great new options in recent years. The best is Bluechew. Drastically cheaper than the name-brand boner pills, available in a variety of different subscription options and chewable for those who have trouble swallowing pills, it’s a leap forward in ED prescription medication.
Finalists: Rugiet, Cialis
Check out Bluechew
Best Latex Condom
P.S. Condoms
P.S.
Condoms are a miracle of modern science. There, we said it. Latex condoms are sort of like water-based lubes — they’re the most common products, and it can seem like there are as many types as there are penises for them to go on. Still, we have to crown a winner — and this year’s award goes to P.S. condoms. They’re very thin, odorless (and vegan), and extra strong to boot.
Finalists: One Condoms myOne Perfect Fit, Okamoto Crown Skinless Skin
Check out P.S. Condoms
Best Non-Latex Condom
Skyn Original
Skyn
Thankfully for everyone who’s allergic to latex (or who just plain doesn’t like it), non-latex condoms are easy to come by these days. (There’s nothing less sexy than a rash where the condom goes.) Unsurprisingly for a dedicated non-latex brand, Skyn runs the show in this category, and their affordable, comfortable Originals are the model to beat.
Finalists: Durex Avanti Bare Real Feel, Trojan Supra BareSkin Non-Latex
Check out the Skyn Original
Best Ultra-Thin Condom
Lelo Hex Condom
Lelo
Not crazy about how condoms feel? Maybe you just haven’t tried the right product yet. Maybe you just haven’t tried an ultra-thin condom. Besides being incredibly thin and feeling great, Lelo’s high-tech Hex condoms have another cool advantage — their hexagon-based construction means even if they break, they remain largely intact rather than splitting completely open like a normal condom.
Finalists: Skyn Elite, Trojan Magnum BareSkin

Intimate Apparel
Best Men’s Boxer Briefs
AllCitizens Elite II Boxer Brief
AllCitizens
Thanks to their unique mix of coverage and snugness, boxer briefs have become a very popular option in the men’s underwear space in recent years, and there are lots of strong competitors for this crown. AllCitizens’ entry takes the cake for date night with its sturdy construction, subtle color accenting and easy-open pouch — no fuss in the bathroom, and no fuss if your date decides they want to take a peek later.
Finalists: BN3TH Cascade Boxer Brief, Richer Poorer Lewis Modal Boxer Brief
Check out the AllCitizens Elite II Boxer Brief
Best Men’s Briefs
Shinesty Ball Hammock Pouch Briefs
Shinesty
Depending on the pants you’re wearing, briefs might be out of the question, but if you’re not going to get too much thigh chafe, stripping down to reveal a sleek and sexy pair of barely-there underwear can really impress a date in the right frame of mind. These Shinesty briefs are a breeze to wear and cradle both front and derrière. Just make sure you don’t show them off too early in the date.
Finalists: Saxx Non-Stop Stretch Cotton Brief, AsWeMove Dominate Classic Brief
Check out the Shinesty Ball Hammock Pouch Briefs
Best Men’s Trunks
BN3TH Classic
BN3TH
Want the feel of boxer briefs but not as much leg coverage? Want the lightness of briefs but with a bit more substance? Trunks are here for you. This pair from Canadian brand BN3TH (formerly known as MyPakage) is a perfect sweet spot when it comes to size, shape, contour and coverage, with the much-sought-after pouch to comfortably hold your penis and testicles.
Finalists: MeUndies Men’s Trunk, Stanfield’s Men’s Trunk
Check out the BN3TH Classic Trunk
Best Men’s Jockstrap
Calvin Klein Cotton Stretch Jockstrap
Calvin Klein
If you want to look hot and sexy in an athletic way, a jockstrap is the move. (Well, that and some ripped muscles, we suppose.) When it comes to sexy underpants, why mess with a classic? People say “in my Calvins” for a reason.
Finalists: Arjen Kroos Mesh Jockstrap, Daddy DDE017 Jockstrap
Check out the Calvin Klein Cotton Stretch Jockstrap
Best Men’s Lingerie
Secret Male SMI022 Bikini
Secret Male
Why let femininity have all the fun? Men deserve to look ultra-sexy in their underwear too, and for some of us, that means going the frilly, lacy route. We love this affordable number for its combination of black lace, a naughty peek-a-boo crotch and a pop of color in the form of a rose. It’s so romantic we almost listed it in the anniversary gifts section. Almost…
Finalists: Andrew Christian Sheer Leopard Brief, LHM All Over Lace Thong
