Best AI sex toys for men: the top smart strokers compared

As technology and intimacy continue to merge, we are living in a golden age of pleasure devices for men. Basic sleeves are no longer the whole story: the best toys today are smart, connected and remarkably effective. We tested the leading models available now, and this is our verdict.

How we rated them

We scored every device on the same five criteria:

• Stimulation and sensation
• Material quality
• Technology and features
• Ease of use and cleaning
• Value for money

1. The Handy: the digital powerhouse

A cult favorite, and for good reason. The Handy combines mechanical precision with internet-based control, video sync, VR compatibility and remote play. The result is a tailored, hands-free experience that adapts to your rhythm and to what you are watching. Read our full review of The Handy.

• Sensation: customizable and deeply immersive. It feels incredibly lifelike.
• Materials: durable and soft, with a wide choice of sleeves.
• Technology: video sync, an open API, remote play and VR support. Unmatched.
• Ease of use: a slight learning curve, then smooth sailing once it is set up.

2. Autoblow AI Ultra: oral simulation, reinvented

Autoblow’s machines focus on one thing: recreating the perfect blowjob. The AI Ultra has replaced the AI+ we first tested. It has an AI mode that blends 16 techniques, 10 preloaded experiences, and more that you can download over Wi-Fi.

• Sensation: surprisingly lifelike, especially once you have tuned it to your liking.
• Materials: rugged, though it feels a little clinical.
• Technology: voice commands, remote control and, new on the Ultra, video sync.
• Ease of use: plug-and-play simple. It runs on mains power, so there is no battery to charge.

3. Arcwave Ion 2: a new kind of orgasm

Arcwave’s Pleasure Air technology stimulates the frenulum, one of the most sensitive areas of the penis, with pulsating waves of air. There is no stroking and no friction, just precise stimulation of the nerve endings. The Ion 2 has replaced the original Ion. It is waterproof (IPX7) and runs for up to 90 minutes on a charge.

• Sensation: subtle but intense. This is not a typical stroker, more of a sensory breakthrough.
• Materials: premium CleanTech silicone that is very hygienic and feels high-end.
• Technology: Smart Silence starts and stops the stimulation as it senses skin contact. Sleek and futuristic.
• Ease of use: very easy to use and to clean.

4. Kiiroo Keon: stroke in sync

The Keon is an interactive masturbator with hands-free stroking. It is designed for Kiiroo’s interactive content library and VR scenes, and it can reach up to 230 strokes a minute. It runs on a battery that lasts from 30 minutes to two hours, depending on the intensity.

• Sensation: fast and intense, ideal if you want a turbocharged session.
• Materials: the realistic sleeve delivers on texture and comfort.
• Technology: syncs with VR and 2D interactive content through the FeelConnect app, but the app can feel clunky.
• Ease of use: more involved to set up. Not plug-and-play.
