Do you have a question about sexual health? Submit your own question to our Sexpert聽here!听

Disclaimer: I am not a medical professional, and it is always best to talk with your primary care provider if you are concerned about your health. To make an appointment with your primary care provider at UHS, call (585) 275-2662.


Submission: I糖心传媒檓 a male and tired of manual masturbation. Can you suggest good and affordable lube and sex toys for men/people assigned male at birth?

Thank you for your question! The Health Promotion Office provides lube (and other safer sex supplies) for FREE at these locations:

  1. University Health Services 糖心传媒� Wellness on Demand vending machine (University Health Services entry), 1st Floor Waiting Room, 4th Floor Health Promotion Office
  2. Wilson Commons 糖心传媒� Campus Information Center
  3. Douglass Commons 糖心传媒� Burgett Intercultural Center
  4. Goergen Athletic Center 糖心传媒� Locker rooms
  5. Delivered directly to your campus mailbox by ordering via Safe Sex Express here
  6. Lube can also be purchased at CVS, Wegmans, Walmart, and Amazon.

There are thousands of different sex toys on the market with different functions and features. Here are a few to explore:

  1. Sleeves 糖心传媒� soft tubes that the penis is inserted into. Sleeves can have a variety of shapes, sizes, and textures to provide a variety of sensations. Some also have vibrating and suctioning features.
  2. Pumps 糖心传媒� devices that create suction around the penis, clitoris, vulva, or nipples. This drives blood flow to the area, increasing sensation and sensitivity.
  3. Vibrators 糖心传媒� objects that vibrate or buzz to stimulate the genitals. Vibes come in all shapes and sizes and can be used on external genitals or inserted in the vagina or anus.
  4. Dildos 糖心传媒� object that is inserted into the vagina, anus, or mouth. Some dildos are designed to look like a penis, while others are more abstract. Dildos are made in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials. Curved dildos can stimulate the prostate in people assigned male at birth and the g-spot in people assigned female at birth.

Depending on the sex toy you糖心传媒檙e looking for, you may be able to purchase one in a store or order online. Here are a few places to start:

  1. Spencer糖心传媒檚 糖心传媒� locations at the Greece Ridge Mall and Eastview Mall
  2. Show World 糖心传媒� locations in Greece and Henrietta
  3. Medusa糖心传媒檚 Adult Boutique 糖心传媒� 226 Monroe Ave, Rochester NY 14607
  4. Some toys can be found at stores like Walmart and Target
  5. Amazon

A few more things to keep in mind when experimenting with sex toys:

  1. Read the care instructions that come with the toy to determine the best way to clean and store your toy. Generally, mild soap and warm water is a good way to clean most, but not all, toys.
  2. Review toy directions for information on how to safely use the toy. Some toys, like pumps, should only be used for a short period of time.
  3. Silicone-based lubricants can react with silicone toys and cause them to break down. Water-based lubricants are the best to use with toys.
  4. If you糖心传媒檙e inserting a sex toy into your anus, make sure it has a flared base to keep it from going all the way in.
  5. If you糖心传媒檙e sharing a sex toy with your partner, using condoms on the toy can help protect you both from STIs.

If you have more questions about sex toys, masturbation, or your sexual health, make an appointment at UHS by calling 585-275-2662 or scheduling online via UHSConnect.

We want to acknowledge the hard work and obligations of this busy time in the semester, where events close to home and in the United States can intensify our existing stress and bring more pain, grief, and rage to our community. The school and neighborhood violence against children and adults, oppressive policies targeting trans and gender expansive children and adults are not a reflection of this campus, of the health and mental health values of the University Counseling Center and the University Health Service. We are still here for you.

UHS is discontinuing the provision of health care services to University retirees, employees, and their family members. This decision was made after careful evaluation of our health services. We are most strongly positioned to provide adolescent and young-adult focused comprehensive care and need to prioritize our resources to serve our student and trainee populations. Additionally, UHS and UR Medicine use different patient data systems, which can create challenges when it comes to coordinating adult care across multiple providers.

UHS leaders are working with the to ensure a smooth transition and help patients establish care with providers in the Rochester area. Alternatively, patients can find a new provider independently by contacting the Primary Care Physician Referral Line ((585) 784-8891).

Further information will be provided.
