What is a penis stroker, male masturbator or pocket pussy? Are they all the same thing?
Pretty much, yes. If you’re not entirely sure what a stroker is or why you might want to buy one, then we’ve got you! Also known as a male masturbator, a penis stroker is a sex toy designed to enhance the pleasure and satisfaction of people with penises. In some countries, they are more commonly referred to as a pocket pussy, though not all (few in this list) are anatomically designed.
Specifically crafted to simulate the sensations of sexual intercourse, whether used for solo play or with a partner, a stroker is typically made from high-quality, skin-friendly materials like silicone, TPE, or Cyberskin. Just like the penis itself, they come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and textures – all catering to different preferences. This is why there are so many on the market currently.
In terms of design, penis strokers generally feature a hollow tunnel or sleeve that is designed to be slid over the penis, providing a tight and pleasurable grip. The interior of the stroker is often lined with stimulating ridges, bumps, or other textured patterns that create an intense and lifelike sensation during use. Some strokers also include additional features such as vibrating functions, suction capabilities, or interactive technologies for a heightened experience.
So, whether you’re looking to spice up your solo sessions or add an extra dimension to partnered play, a penis stroker can offer an impressive range of sensations – helping you to explore new levels of pleasure.

Best interactive stroker: Kiiroo Keon
The Kiiroo Keon is an interactive, automated penis stroker, which brings heft along with a whole heap of features. The result? A one-of-a-kind and engaging experience. With a price north of $249, the Keon could be seen as a luxury item for some but it offers one hell of an experience! It’s worth noting that the Keon-only retail packs do not include the actual stroker that sits inside (and can be used alone too).
The device offers a battery life of around 2 hours when fully charged, which takes between 4-6 hours. Some of its notable features include adjustable stroke length and speed, a touch-sensitive control pad, and compatibility with virtual reality content.
- Offers a realistic and immersive experience
- Works well with a variety of adult content platforms, like AdultTime and SexLikeReal
- Can connect with other Kiiroo devices for long-distance intimacy
- Bluetooth connectivity enables wireless control
- More expensive than other similar products on the market
- Might need regular maintenance and cleaning
Looking for something similar that’s interactive, but a bit more lightweight? Check out the Hot Ocotopus Pulse Solo Interactive below.
Best vibration-only (‘guybrator’) interactive masturbator: Hot Octopus Pulse Solo Interactive
The Hot Octopuss Pulse Solo Interactive stands out for its innovative oscillation technology that makes it a bit different than your typical stroker. It features a high-amplitude oscillating motor that delivers powerful, rumbly vibrations. While it doesn’t imitate the feeling of intercourse, it surely provides an intense and unique masturbation experience.
The battery life is pretty decent, providing up to an hour and a half of playtime (depending on the settings you use). Plus, it’s waterproof which makes it super easy to clean. At $199, it might be a bit pricier compared to other strokers, but its unique features may well be worth the extra cost.
Though it’s not as lightweight as other models, the design of the Pulse Solo Interactive doesn’t cut corners on versatility. It can be used with an erect or flaccid penis and can also be used hands-free, offering an array of possibilities for solo or partnered play.
- Waterproof and easy to clean
- Unique oscillating technology
- Can be used hands-free
- Heavier compared to other models
- More expensive than other strokers
- Maybe not for those who prefer a ‘stroking’ sensation
Looking for something similar that’s more heavy-duty with full stroking motion movement? Check out the Kiiroo Keon.
Best fully waterproof hi-tech stroker: Lelo F1s V2
It might be a bit on the small side, and perhaps more critically, hasn’t yet attracted many third-party apps available to make use of its open data interface and APIs. But that doesn’t go to say it’s not worth a purchase.
Especially if it’s waterproofing that you’re looking for above most else, as this design feature means it’s super simple to clean. The Lelo F1s is priced at $189.
Slightly bizarrely, there’s no interactive sync options for the Lelo F1s V2… it’s more like if you want a fitbit for your masturbation.
- Novel design
- Small and discreet
- Very snug fit
- Unique sensation
- Fully waterproof
- A little too small
- Proprietary charging port
To find out more, read our full Lelo F1S (V1) review, or the news article about the newer V2 with ‘double the power’.
Looking for a fully waterproof stroker that’s a little less high-tech? Check out the Arcwave Voy.
Best hi-tech stroker for people on a budget: Sohimi Hurricane
The Hurricane by Sohimi penis masturbator is one of the cheapest smart strokers on the market, priced at $79.99 (with the code SEXTECHGUIDE). It boasts a 280 degrees adjustable suction base for multi-faceted use and in terms of cleaning, it comes apart in a relatively straightforward way and is easy to fully remove the inner sleeve.
A couple of quirks make it a little awkward to store, but the buttons are easy to use and it offers up a nice range of settings if a little limited in comparison to alternatives. Plus, you can pick up replaceable inner sleeves for just $15. Bargain!
To find out more, read our full Sohimi Hurricane review.
- Solid design and build
- Strong sensations
- Easy to clean and use
- Focuses on the head of the penis
- Low cost sleeve replacements available
- No softer and gentler settings
- The texture/touch of the TPE sleeve wasn’t ideal in the review unit
- Need to store the cap separately from what’s otherwise a self-contained unit
Looking for something a little more stylish looking from the same company? The Arcwave Voy might just be the stroker for you.
Best for a hands-free orgasm: Lovense Gush
The Lovense Gush is making waves as a game-changer in the world of male pleasure devices. It’s not just talk; the impressive range of features it brings to the table speaks volumes about its quality.
One of the standout features of the Lovense Gush is its realistic feel. The interior is designed to mimic human skin, delivering a lifelike experience that’s hard to beat. Plus, it comes with multiple vibration modes, so you can tweak the settings to match your mood. It’s all about making your experience as enjoyable as possible.
Another great thing about the Lovense Gush is that it’s waterproof. This means you can take it into the shower for some extra fun. And when you’re done, cleaning is a breeze, thanks to the same waterproof design.
On the flip side, the Lovense Gush does come with a heftier price tag. But many users feel that the top-notch performance and features make it worth the investment. It’s also a bit on the larger side, which might not be everyone’s cup of tea, especially if you’re new to this kind of toy or prefer something more compact. And while the battery life is decent, depending on how often you use it, you might find yourself wishing it lasted a bit longer between charges.
- Realistic Feel
- Multiple Vibration Modes
- Waterproof
- Easy to Clean
- Higher Price
- Lower Size
- Slightly too Short Battery Life
Most innovative manual stroker: ArcWave Voy
The Arcwave Voy is about as non-tech as our reviews go, but it’s still a relatively impressive and innovative toy that brings a heightened – if different – type of orgasm.
While not as fully-featured as its high-tech sibling the Ion, the Voy is a premium, compact stroker that sets itself apart through its superior material, custom fit, and clever design, which allows you to adjust the tightness. This, Arcwave states, offers a “unique experience as you reach a powerful orgasm.”
The lack of motors, batteries, or the need to recharge is refreshing, but it comes at the cost of the sort of features we’ve come to love in more advanced strokers – like syncing interactive sex toys with porn or other toys, for example. Still, it’s much cheaper than its more tech-inclined counterparts, priced at $99.
To find out more, read our full Arcwave Voy review.
- Stylish and discrete design
- Adjustable tightness tech is unique
- High-quality materials
- Super-easy to clean
- A bit loud, despite no ‘power’ technology
- Not the cheapest toy
Looking for something similar but a little bit more hi-tech? It might be worth the Kiiroo Keon a go – it’s easily one of the best-connected sex toys for interactive fun that we’ve ever tried, despite its price tag.
Are there any penis strokers that are designed for couples?
If there are any penis strokers specifically designed for couples’ play? The answer is a resounding yes!
Smaller, more compact strokers like the Arcwave Voy or the Sohimi Hurricane can be easily incorporated into couple play. These devices aren’t just for flying solo; they can be worn during intercourse to enhance pleasure for both partners. These smaller strokers can add a whole new layer of sensation and intimacy to your sexual encounters, allowing you to explore new ways to satisfy one another. With a variety of settings and intensity levels, they can be tailored to suit your specific needs and preferences.
On the other hand, the interactive strokers like the Kiiroo Keon, are a fantastic option for long-distance couples. Thanks to modern technology, these devices can be synced to respond to your partner’s movements, effectively bridging the gap between you.
No matter how far apart you may be, these interactive devices allow you to share intimate moments and maintain a healthy sexual relationship. It’s almost like being in the same room together. So, if you are in a long-distance relationship or frequently travel for work, consider investing in an interactive stroker. It might just be a solution worth trying out.
