The Fleshlight
While the sex toy industry is packed with tons of weird and enticing new gadgetry for our guiltiest of pleasure, several online sex shops and men’s websites have rated the Fleshlight as the top masturbating device in the market. While several other masturbation sleeves are also quite efficient and satisfying, those of you who enjoy a little play time on your own will soon realize the Fleshlight is by far one of the best things you’ve ever bought.
Masturbation sleeves are tube-like contraptions designed to increase and vary pleasure points via bumpy and groovy designs, resembling a pimped-up vagina. Flexible yet firm materials like specialized jellies and silicone make the toys feel flesh-like, tighter and much more arousing. In the same kind as textured condoms or pearled dildos for girls, bumpy masturbation sleeves have been designed with man’s pleasure in mind. The strategically located bumps inside the sleeve allow for increased pleasure in otherwise unattended parts of the penis.
Another great feature of masturbation sleeves is tightness and suction. Though not all sleeves are designed for both purposes, different sleeves will better fulfill the different sensations you are looking for. While some sleeves are made to accentuate pleasure in the tip of the penis, there are some that focus on stimulating the entire shaft, producing a wholesome experience. Some sleeves are intended to replicate oral sex suction, while others pretend to emulate thrusting inside a real vagina.
Fleshlight owner and inventor Steve Shubin talked about how he came up with such an invention – at least the modern and more popular version of the contraption. As a blogger very well wrote, men “have always been obsessed with sticking their penises in holes”. So true. Be it a tube, a hole in the wall, the infamous hot apple pie or the actual sex hole, sticking our penises in holes is what we do best and love the process. Going back to Shubin, he says the Fleshlight was born out of need. After years of dealing with crappy products, most men are dubious about the pleasuring power of a masturbation toy; Shubin decided to take matters into his own hands, if you will, and create a high quality product that would provide him with an alternative to having sex with his very pregnant wife.
Their doctor banning them from sex for 9 months triggered Shubin’s creative process. He gathered a bunch of potential adult industry casting models he and his friends liked and started production. Not only did they choose vaginas, but breasts and butts too. With a selection made, they started casting the models and perfecting the resulting pieces. Later on, the range of products grew to provide the public with a special edition of Fleshlights modeled after their favorite porn stars. Nothing like getting your own one-on-one experience with the rollers and shakers of the industry, I guess.
Moving the generic Viagra industry unadvertedly, Fleshlights around the world are getting lubed up as you read this article. Even when masturbation toys still carry the stigma of being low-quality and over-priced among some crowds, new manufacturing companies and products like Shubin’s seem to be switching the whole concept around. At a little over $70, this high quality material toy, guaranteed to make customers happy is changing men’s and couples’ lives for the better. The Fleshlight provides men with a satisfying experience without the anxiety of performance.
