How to Make a Homemade Sex Toy for Men That Feels Real

According to Men’s Health, Justin Lehmiller, PhD, a Research Fellow at The Kinsey Institute, found that compared to 65.7% of non-binary people and 52.9% of women, only 23.6% of men have used a toy while masturbating.

Surprising, isn’t it? There are a lot of reasons why. It could be cultural or religious, tied to stigma, or maybe because hands have always just gotten the job done.

But where’s the fun in that?

If you’re one of the guys who’s tired of fapping with your hand, but not quite ready to drop cash on a commercial sex toy, this article is for you. 

You’re about to learn how to make a homemade sex toy for men that feels good.

Advanced Homemade Sex Toys for Men

These DIY sex toys might take more time to make, but that doesn’t mean they’re out of reach. Like the old saying goes: the things that take effort are usually the ones most worth it.

1. Silicone Mold Pocket Pussy

Materials:

• Body-safe silicone sealant

• Cutter
• Measuring tape
• Marker

How To:

1. Measure your penis.
2. Mark your chosen mold object about 25% shorter than your length.
3. Trim the object to size and smooth out the surface.
4. Coat it with a thick, even layer of silicone sealant (about ½ inch all around).
5. Let it sit for several weeks so the silicone fully dries and sets.
6. Once hardened, carefully remove the object from the center.

2. Slime Pocket Pussy

Materials:

• Protein shaker bottle (with lid)
• Large sponge
• Mixing bowl
• Small container
• 470 ml white school glue (roughly two standard glue bottles)
• 60 ml multi-purpose contact lens solution
• 10 ml baking soda
• Elastic band
• Optional: Plastic craft beads (for texture) and food coloring (for aesthetics)

How To:

1. Cut the sponge to fit snugly over the bottle’s opening, leaving a little extra over the edge. Don’t attach it yet.
2. Poke a hole in the center of the sponge, then snip a small “X” to allow for comfortable entry.
3. In your small container, dissolve the baking soda into the contact lens solution.
4. In your mixing bowl, pour in the school glue. Add a few drops of food coloring if you want to get creative.
5. Slowly stir in your baking soda mixture until it turns into slime—firm but stretchy is what you’re aiming for.
6. If you want extra texture, fold in some plastic beads now. For a smoother sensation, skip them.
7. Divide the slime into two equal pieces. Roll each to the height of the shaker bottle.
8. Press both into the bottle, molding them against the inside to create a soft inner canal.
9. Secure the sponge on top with an elastic band.
10. Moisten the sponge with warm water for a more realistic feel, then lube up and enjoy.

5 Safety Tips for DIY Sex Toys

You might be thinking, “DIY sex toys should be safe to use, right? I mean, I picked all the materials, I know what’s in there.”

For a quick answer: It depends.

DIY sex toys aren’t food. There’s nothing organic or natural about them. A can of Pringles, for example, wasn’t designed for your dick; it was made for chips. And because these hacks weren’t created with your body in mind, accidents and injuries can happen.

The good news? You can reduce the risks while still keeping things hot, satisfying, and fun.

Here’s how to keep your Little John safe when you DIY: 

1. Practice Good Hygiene

We get it; you’re probably feeling spent after you climax. But don’t let your semen hang out inside your DIY toy for days (or worse, weeks). Toss the glove or condom after each use.

And if you used a food-based masturbator, throw it away. Unless you’re planning to eat it afterward (hey, no judgment), don’t shove it back in the fridge. Just let it go.

2. Get Yourself Into the Mood

Masturbation isn’t just about scratching an itch; it’s also an expression of self-love. If you want to spend some time fapping, why not make the most of it by setting the mood?

Dim the lights, lock the door, and you can run your imagination wild. Sometimes, you can read skin mags or watch porn. Just be careful not to get addicted. A little is healthy, too much is not.

3. Always Line With a Condom or a Latex Glove

A latex glove or condom creates a barrier between your body and whatever non-penis-friendly material your toy is made of. It reduces the risk of infection and makes the cleanup easier.

If you go in raw, your semen can soak into the cracks and corners of your DIY toy. That’s a fast track to bacteria build-up, bad smells, and future regret.

4. Check the Sharp Edges and Smooth Them

You want a sexy time, not a trip to the ER. So, before using your toy, inspect everything inside and out. Look for sharp edges, rough patches, or anything that could snag or cut your skin.

Use sandpaper, a nail file, or a spoon (if it’s food-based) to smooth things out. Your dick will thank you.   

5. Use a Lube

If there’s one non-negotiable for a good solo session, it’s lube.

Even with a latex glove or condom, friction can still lead to irritation. Lube minimizes that and maximizes sensation. Stick with a water-based lube, especially if you’re using latex. 

Oil-based lubes can break down condoms and gloves, and silicone-based lubes don’t mix well with DIY textures.

Homemade vs Commercial Sex Toys for Men

Let’s be honest: homemade toys are the emergency plan. They’re what you reach for when you can’t afford a commercial sex toy or can’t get the real thing (yep, we’re talking pussy or ass).

But should you settle for DIY just to save a few bucks? Let’s break it down. 

Homemade Sex Toys

As mentioned earlier, homemade sex toys for men are budget-friendly AF. You can whip one up using stuff you already have lying around.

But if you’re planning to go the DIY route long-term, there are a few things to keep in mind.

For starters, if you’re using food, yes, that’s a waste. Unless you’re planning to eat it after (no judgment), it’s one-and-done.

Then there’s the hygiene issue. Most homemade toys are made from porous materials that can trap bacteria. They weren’t made for penetration, which means they don’t exactly play nice with your junk over time.

Homemade sex toys are perfect for:

• When you're broke
• When you’re in a place where sex toys are illegal
• When you're just too horny to wait

But if you plan to stick with them, replace them often.

Commercial Sex Toys

Commercial toys are made with actual dicks in mind. Most are crafted from medical-grade silicone or TPE, making them non-porous, easier to clean, and way safer for your body. Not to mention the added fun features, such as the vibration and thrusting modes. They're designed to hit all the right spots, hands-free. 

The only downside is that it costs money, which is worth an investment for long-term use. It’s unlike the watermelon pussy that you’re just gonna discard after use.
