Hot Octopuss has spent over a decade designing sex-tech that works with real bodies and real issues concerning sex, including navigating ED and pleasure. Our toys are not just any toys; they are built to support pleasure for everyone, whether you are exploring as an individual or a couple.
So on the topic of ED, here is something the school sex ed class didn't teach you...orgasm and erection are two separate processes! They can happen even when one is not present. So, if you are reading this and achieving or even maintaining an erection is difficult or impossible, believe it or not, an orgasm may still be possible.
Whether you’re living with erectile dysfunction (ED), navigating recovery after prostate surgery, experiencing anxiety around performance, or simply curious about expanding how pleasure can feel, Hot Octopuss toys are literally built to help support you and your pleasure.
So let's talk toys.
Why Hot Octopuss toys are different
Unlike traditional masturbators that rely on an erection to present, Hot Octopuss toys are:
- Designed to also work with a flaccid or semi-erect penis
- Powered by oscillation, not thrusting
- Can be used hands-free or with light-touch
With patented PulsePlate Technology™, our multi-award-winning Pulse devices use powerful oscillations to target the frenulum of the penis, delivering mind-blowing stimulation without the need for stroking.
Amazing right!
Using Hot Octopuss to explore orgasm without an erection
If you are ready to explore, here is what we recommend to get you started.
1. Shift the goal
Let go of “getting hard and staying hard.” Instead, focus on sensation, breath, and curiosity. This mental shift alone can change everything. When we focus on mindful pleasure rather than performance-based sex, we start to have better sex! Why? because pleasure is about how the body (and genitals) feel, not how hard or long we last.
2. Let the toy do the work
Oscillation stimulates thousands of nerve endings without friction or pressure. You don’t need to perform; you just need to lie back and receive. Add a little toy-friendly lube, set the scene with whatever stimuli feel most supportive and tune into the vibes of the toy around your penis.
3. Explore positioning
Try lying back, standing, or sitting. Why not think outside the box a little and explore new ways to move and enjoy your body with the toy? Sometimes a slight shift can reveal new sensations or touchpoints we didn't know we had.
4. Breathe & soften
Slow breathing helps calm the nervous system and supports orgasmic response, especially when anxiety has been part of your sexual story. A calm body is open to receiving pleasure a lot more than a tense one.
5. Invite your partner in (If you want)
Our couples' favourite, Pulse Duo, allows partners to share stimulation, shifting sex away from penetration-centric scripts and toward connection.
One couple said, "It is a worthwhile investment. Wife enjoys riding it while I am using it - great couples toy."
Expanding your understanding of pleasure.
From our many years of selling Hot Octopuss toys, in fact, over 2 million and counting, many people report that once the erection pressure is removed, they experience:
- More intense orgasms
- Less anxiety around sex
- Increased confidence and body trust
- A renewed sense of intimacy (solo or partnered)
Orgasm without an erection isn’t a compromise; it’s simply a different pathway that should be open to exploration.
If your body has changed, through health, age, medication, stress, or life, your pleasure doesn’t have to disappear with it. With supportive sex-tech like Hot Octopuss toys, pleasure becomes accessible, adaptable, and empowering. It's an opportunity to access pleasure on your terms, regardless of what your body can or cannot do.
