Hey everybody, meet TugBro:

This slightly-lopsided hunk of firm hard steel is the avatar for TugBro.com, a bloggish sort of resource site full of articles and information on the manly art of (you probably saw this coming) tugging one off. TugBro features somewhere north of 100 articles on male pleasure, masturbation, sexual health, and dick-focused sex toys:

You’ll notice the front page is heavy with sex toy review articles, especially for Fleshlights and similar masturbators. Those reviews are fun and potentially helpful, but this is also a site that rewards exploring the category tabs to get deeper into the catalog of articles. There’s a cautionary tale about a British man who took 35 Viagra (don’t do this!), practical tips on shaving your balls without accidentally shaving them off, a roundup of the well-known health benefits of masturbation (in case you were worried), suggestions for lube… you are starting to get the idea. There’s a lot to see, and I can’t claim to have looked at it all!

Three things that I always have on my mind when looking at dude-and-dick-focused sites are dangerous products, fraud products that don’t do anything, and marketing that preys on male insecurities. I can’t tolerate very much of any of these before I’m totally out!

Fortunately, TugBro seems fairly clear of such shenanigans. I didn’t spot any magic pills or potions with mystery ingredients. There are one or two articles on how to potentially effect the volume and flavor of jizz, but these seem to be mostly recommending nutritional intervention. The one category of potentially dangerous products I saw (desensitizing creams or sprays) is mostly presented as a fun product for prolonging pleasure. Safer-sex educators do advise against using desensitizing products in partnered sex, though; a numbing product can mask the abrasive effect of using too little lube, turning a sex-whoopsie into a more serious flail. But overwhelmingly the TugBro editorial stance is “Here is stuff you’ll want to know, so you can have more fun with your penis.” I gotta approve of that!

Even the sex toy reviews have a sense of fun about them. In a review of the disposable Tenga jelly egg masturbators, which are products I have tried and liked, the intro made me laugh with its delicate summary of the contrast between disposable and reusable masturbators:

After you’ve used a reusable masturbator once, you’re now in possession of a toy that most definitely has some lingering penis on it, no matter how well you wash it. It can no longer wear white at its wedding, it has lost its innocence.

It has indeed! There’s much to be said for toys that are virgin-in-shrinkwrap every time you reach for them.

If you’ve got a penis that you like to play with, check out TugBro. You ought to find something helpful or entertaining or both. Enjoy!
