How to Shop at a Sex Store with Erectile Dysfunction

When you’re struggling with erectile dysfunction, stepping into an adult store to shop for sex toys might seem intimidating. But never fear, Starship Enterprises is actually one of the best places to go if you’re searching for products that can help with your ED.

Do Some Prep Work First

One of our first tips is always to do a little research before you jump in. When you feel prepared, it can help you feel  less nervous. The good news is by reading this blog post, you’re already on your way to being prepped and confident.

Know What to Expect

When you enter an adult shop, the first thing you’ll have to do is show your ID. It’s best to have it easily accessible when you step in, that way you can get right to the fun stuff! 

Research Toys You’re Interested In

You can search our website to see what kinds of toys we carry. You can even check to see if a particular toy is in stock at your local Starship from the product page! You can read all about strokers, extenders, strap ons for ED, penis pumps, cock rings, and anything else on our blog and category pages, so you have a general idea of which product(s) you are interested in before you come in. Having an idea of the products that assist with erectile dysfunction, and how they work, will make the shopping experience less overwhelming. 

Be Confident, You’re Not Alone

If you’re nervous about your erectile dysfunction, it could take away much of the joy and anticipation of shopping for pleasure products. It’s important to understand you’re not alone. Millions of people with penises are affected by ED. In fact, according to the Massachusetts Male Aging Study about 52% of people born with a penis experience some sort of erectile dysfunction in their life. This doesn’t have to indicate the end of a fulfilling sex life, quite the opposite actually. As you begin to embrace new possibilities of partnered pleasure, intimacy can become even deeper, and more meaningful resulting in mind blowing sexual connections. 

Walk in with your head held high, because you may just have an amazing experience that’ll lead to a much more fulfilled, and exciting sex life.

Know It’s Okay to Ask Questions

Being curious in a sex store is highly encouraged! You’ll see things that make you laugh, and things that make you tilt your head in curiosity as you try to figure out exactly what goes where. That’s a huge reason shopping in-store is so much fun!

If you have questions about any of the products, our staff is friendly, educated, and happy to share what they know and make recommendations. They also have the pleasure of working with customers of all different backgrounds every day, so they’re prepared to give you suggestions that are specific to your desires. 

You can feel at ease letting our staff know you’re experiencing ED and would like help finding the right products.They are trained to help you navigate the road to better sex with compassion and discretion. 

The Best Toys for Erectile Dysfunction

This section is a baseline to begin your shopping experience in-store or online at ShopStarship.com. These are some of our favorite sex toys for those with erectile dysfunction. 

Penis Pumps

If you need a sex toy to help you get harder faster, a penis pump will be your new best friend! Pumps work by creating a vacuum seal around your penis and using suction, encouraging more blood flow to the area. The increased blood flow is what causes your erection. 

One of our favorite pumps is the Peter’s Rechargeable Penis Pump. It’ll help you reach your full performance potential, measure your progress, and you can even fine-tune the pump to get the setting that's perfect for you! No matter which penis pump you decide to purchase, be sure to watch an instructional video (usually on YouTube) so you understand how it works before you use it on yourself. 

Fleshlights/Penis Strokers

Fleshlights are one of the most popular sex toys for men and there's a good reason for it! If you’re struggling to achieve an erection during masturbation, a masturbator toy might be what helps you get there. Strokers have a lifelike feel, incredible textures for you to experience, and pair perfectly with Starship lubricants. 

 

There are strokers that look like vulvas, butts, mouths, ones that are just sheaths, and even some that are whole dolls! No matter what tickles your fancy, there’s a toy for you.

If you need a little extra oomph, you can try something like an automatic pocket pussy. These masturbators have all the bells and whistles you could ever want. They often have different vibration modes and many of them even heat up. Our favorite is the Satisfyer Men Heat Vibration.

Cock Rings

Cock rings are a saving grace if you struggle with staying hard or experience premature ejaculation. They go around the scrotum and the base of the penis and give just enough squeeze to restrict blood flow out of the penis and can prevent you from orgasming too quickly. You can pair it with a MOJO Libido Warming Gel for extra sensation.

We love the Starship Hercules Silicone Lasso. It’s easy to get on and off, and it’s adjustable. It’s perfect for beginners or anyone worried about the size fitting.

 

For something a little extra spicy, you could try  a vibrating cock ring! They give you all the benefits of a normal ring while also adding delicious vibration to your experience. We love Starship’s Lunar Love Vibrating Trio.

Cock Extenders

If you’ve tried everything and struggle to maintain an erection, cock extenders are one of our favorite recommendations for people with ED. Or if you can’t get an erection that’s firm enough to have sex, but you still want to give your partner all you’ve got, these are the sex toys for you! Extenders give you more length, girth, and firmness where you really need it. 

Something like the Fat Boy Cock Sheath could be just what you’re searching for. It's super-stretchy to accommodate most sizes and has a thick, snug loop to help you last longer, almost like a built-in cock ring. Your partner will love the deeper penetration and fuller feeling, leading to an incredible climax. If you add a little warming lube inside the shaft, you’ll even get the joy of the heat you really crave during sex.
