Count me in the wierded out group.

Maybe its because I've had the displeasure of seeing real body parts detached, but...eww.

I'm amazed at all the positive testimonials here.

My wife is going back east in a week to visit her family for 6 whole weeks - maybe I'll buy one of these to tide me over.

$60?

Hey - for 6 weeks, that's only a buck and a half a day!

Gee - that's like 25 cents per use

Looks like it might be a cervix .... eeew.

Well, I put her on a plane this morning, and - against my better judgement- actually ordered one of these tonight.

If I can add to the raving endorsements, it'll be later in the week.

LATER IN THE WEEK:

Didn't give this a bump, because my review is mixed.

I give them an A+ for service - I ordered it Sunday night, and it was at my front door Tuesday afternoon.

As far as the product itself - I think a little firmer material would be more lifelike, but I give them a lot of credit for the "feel." (and the sounds )

As far as being better than a regular onanistic handjob, I would say "different" is more descriptive than "better."

My chief complaint is all the time you need to devote before, during, and after. Wash in warm water; apply lube; keep reapplying lube; add water to lube; wash after use; dry after use; dust with powder after use; wash off everything you touched with all that lube on your hands. . . . . Geez, have they finally made something that will make me say,"No thanks - I'm just too lazy to masturbate?"

As far as being a "better" orgasm - well, sure - the longer it takes and the harder you have to work at busting a nut, the better it feels - and I had to work really hard.

Now, to be perfectly fair, I will say that perhaps the timing wasn't perfect - I had just indulged in a weekend of self-gratifying debauchery prior to receiving this, so I wasn't exactly in the randiest of moods.

To sum it up - when you absolutely, positively have to rub out a quick one, give me a dry hand and a box of tissues any day. It's just so much easier. But, as far as simulating intercourse, this is pretty damn good (well, except for that "doesn't have a warm body attached" shortcoming).

One other note, though - I'm kinda glad they didn't have anything like this when I was a 14-year-old virgin - I would've never left my room - probably would have dropped out of school!!

Final score: 92/100
Have I used it a second time yet? No.
Have I thrown it out yet? Hell, no!

I have a friend that swears he has the most amazing orgasms after using his fleshlight. He has even bought one for another friend of his as a birthday present because he believes so strongly how awesome the orgasms were. He then said that if I wasn't married and didn't know how my wife would react he would have ordered one for me for my birthday. I'm inclined to tell him to suprise me! :-)

Not a direct testamonial, but genuine all the same...

rmarshall

Thanks Charlatan. Just went and picked one up there this evening. What a neat store! Ever try their workshop? The erotic photo one looks good.

My ex gf bought me one of these a few years back when we were dating because she thought the name and look were hilarious. I tried it about 6 months ago and I have to say, it's really quite good.

It's pretty easy to clean, but not very easy to dry. Tends to stay damp on the inside unless you get creative in drying it out.

It can be used with or without the case, but most like it with the case.

It's best used warm and the suggested method of heating it is by submerging it in warm/hot water. I found that a flexible heating pad on a VERY low setting (it will melt otherwise) is the best way to heat it up, albiet much slower.

The end cap of the "light" is adjustable and allows for variable suction.

It comes in a variety of styles (as folks have seen) but also a variety of interior sizes and "sensations" for the interior canal. The wonderwave is the most popular choice for sensation. IMO it's the best. (yea, i own a couple of these now) I've tried the different interior sizes (i'm a wee bit bigger than avg) and found all of them to be fine, but the 1/2" size to be the best.

After trying it a lot of guys love these things, a few hate them. The maker runs a forum on thier website that has a lot of info if you are interested, however I believe they delete posts that are negative about their products.

The case does not really look like a flashlight, so don't think you are going to pop one in the toolbox and hide it from wifey.

You need to use a water based lube, my personal fav in that arena, astroglide, didn't seem to be the best choice for this thing and I wound up using a water based foam lube.

I thought long and hard about making this post but WTF. I get it from a real girl on the weekends, and that is far and away the best thing going, but during the week, well, the fleshlight is there.

As for the orgasms? Yea, they are incredible. Beats Mr. Hand by a LARGE margin.

/hope that helps anyone considering a purchase

I've been meaning to pick one uo, haven't had the money or the initiative...

moot1337

I've heard of one better, though I've yet to try it. My girlfriend's off to college though, limiting our time and locations quite badly, so I may have to order one of em soon. Best part: the UtaMaro is silicone, so it doesn't have the terrible smell, it turns inside out to clean, and it's a grand total of $20.

Terrible smell? My Fleshlight smells like vanilla. What does yours smell like?

moot1337

I thought they were made of that jelly material that most toys are made of... I'm probably mistaken though. Toys usually come in either the clear jelly rubber or silicone, which feels somewhat velvety. The jelly stuff has a real strong plastic smell... kinda overpowering. It's good that the fleshlights are made of something else, especially for their price. What I'm trying to say is, this version isn't made of the cheap stuff either.

One thing to note about silicone toys: don't use silicone based lubes, or they'll melt. Go for something water based, like sliquid or probe.

They are made of cyberskin and it makes all the difference. You have to use waterbased lubes.

I see now. You haven't tried out either of the products you talked about in your post. What are you waiting for? You're missing out!

As Charlatan mentioned, Fleshlights are made of cyberskin. It's a soft material that feels like human skin. I think most of the Fleshlights are lightly scented too, so there's not a nasty smell.

puddlesmilo

I have had my Fleshlight for a while now.
I have a rather active sex life with my wife and have not had a chance for a lot of use.

BUT - I have used it five times now. It's awesome. After you cum you can't move - it's that intense.

It cleans up real, real easy.

I wish I had this when I was a teen. You know, three peckered billy goat!

They don't smell. They feel incredible. If you closed your eyes you would think it's real skin. Real young skin!

I can't say enough. Go buy one. Get a ribbed variation and don't forget to warm it up first with warm water.

Years ago a friend of mine told me about how he used a torch without batteries and a sock to get himself off. Been the upstanding member of the community that I am, this dirty little secret didn't remain a secret for long, and the p*ss was taken heartlessly.

Now I wish I'd had the vision to think the idea through, and patent the damn thing. Another missed opportunity.

I don't have a fleshlight but I do have a similar sleeve type masturbator that my wife bought me from a fucker-wear party she had a couple years ago. its a semi transparent thing with a semi real looking vaginal type opening that leads into the hollow center. the opening is fairly small, probably less then half an inch when not in use but it stretches to accommodate me quite well. also the opening goes all the way through to the other end and its only about 5 inches long.
My experiences with it are pretty intense. I cant last much past a minit with this thing its that good. and yeah, when I come My hand with it prety much freezes where it is because any more movement or stimulation is way too much to handle.
Clean up isn't too bad, I stretch the opening over the small opening of the bathroom faucet and turn the water on to hose it out. I will say the need for lube and the clean up afterward is the reason I don't use it more often.
This last part might be more then most want to know but when I just use my hand to take care of myself, when I cum I don't shoot very far, an inch or two. Using that jelly tube thing I've shot clear across the room.

my review pulled from the archives (2004):

a fleshlight has a number of great advantages:

1. Carpel Tunnel is avoided. I dunno about you, but I tend to take a very long time to masturbate (between 20 min to an hour), and i do it frequently. when using the fleshlight, a completely different set of muscles gets worked out--mostly the ones in the forearm. the first time i used my fleshlight, my forearm got sooo tired and i thought i would never be able to use it on a regular basis! but the human body is an amazing thing and has adjusted well. sidenote: a few days ago i tried masturbating the 'old fashioned' way and after about 20 minutes i lost feeling in my fingers. i have a feeling the normal spanking method is more traumatic to the wrist than we realize.

2. keeps you sensitive. one of my big problems is that, because i take so long to orgasm, i rarely orgasm when i'm with a girl and have to take care of myself. i attribute this to the fact that i can make a goddamn tight fist with my hand and kind of ruined myself. The fleshlight gets you in tune with more gentle, subtler sensations that your partner can provide for you. again, the 1st time i used the thing, i was sooo frustrated because i wanted more and more pressure, but couldn't get it. but nowdays i use it at its lowest pressure setting (ie, i've taken the endcap off) because anything else feels too tight! for me, this is a fabulous change. (2006 Update: I'm completely cured!)

3. it feels REALLY good. it is like rubbing velvet on your brain. it's like having the softest girl sit on your lap, but it turns out that everything except her vagina is supernatural. you can put that fairy into all sorts of positions you can't put your real girlfriend! and if you fall asleep afterwards, no one will complain.

4. can accomodate anybody. this thing is humungous! i bet even hal could fit into one of these. and the ability to vary pressure means it can be as tight as you need. to me, the tightest is waay to tight, and i'm probably smaller than average.

disadvantages:

1. looks like a milkshake. mine is pink and has been scented vanilla. i have NO IDEA why all of them are scented (you have to choose between chocolate and vanilla) but there you have it. and once you've finished for the day, it smells like vanilla and cum milkshake. ewww...

2. it's a pain to take care of. though i personally don't think it's as much a pain as others have stated here. there's no point in warming up the thing, since after 5 minutes it will be body temperature (due to your johnson's high heat conductivity and surface area). and since i never share my toy with anybody (and doubt i will ever find someone i will want to share with) i don't clean super thoroughly--just a water rinse. and though others have said you have to clean the thing immediately (can someone tell me why?), i've managed to conk out right after using it and take care of the aftermath the next beautiful morning.

3. sounds like an asthmatic kid. the thing will make a little wooshing slurping sound, particularly if you loosen the endcap. however, for me, i like it without the endcap entirely, and it makes no noise when so used.

4. requires a water-based lube. now, keeping a water-based lube handy is not such a big deal. but as i've said before, i take a LONG time to masturbate, and usually dry out frequently while using the fleshlight. that never happens when i lubricate my palm with....hmmm..actually i won't tell you what i lube my palm with...it's too personal, but suffices to say that it doesn't dry out. at first i was keeping a cup of water handy while i was masturbating so that i could wet it as needed. now i'm so lazy i just spit into it. ewww....vanilla cum spit milkshake...

despite the fact that I will never enjoy a milkshake ever again, this is a wonderful tool and a very good icebreaker for your imagination. when you're inside something soft, you can easily picture sublime, etheral nymphs, cosy fireplaces and blankets, hot chocolate and whipped cream. men may not like soft things, but penises do very much. highly recommended.

I'm thinking of picking one of these up. Never tried anal and probably never will. How would you guys compare the anal insert to reality? Also, is it as realistic as the vaginal insert, more realistic, about the same? I can think of one advantage of this over real anal

Plan9

I think the difference between anal and vaginal, in an inanimate rubber fuck toy, is probably nil.

I believe the difference between the two in real life is often more mental than physical.

I completely understand your point, but from what I've heard, seen, and read of these they seem pretty realistic.

yournamehere

Their site describes most of the openings as 1/2" wide and being either "ribbed" or containing many "bumps"; the anal sleeve is 1/4" wide and smooth.

I don't know - getting poo on your peener is pretty physical.

However, one day before I shed this mortal veil, I'd like to try it with the 2-day porn star preparation method (aka "The Colonoscopy Preparation for Overachievers" method).

I have to admit, I have zero desire to have anal sex - I cant tell you if its a physical or emotional issue, but I dont want to do it.

Too bad the toy doesn't squeeze back, moan, or insist you "give it to me harder."

Im sure you could just play a porno on TV while using the wank machine, to get that effect.

But to real girls ever moan and plead "give it to me harder"?

Its never happened to me

You're doing it wrong. I've plumbed the depths of several petulant female creatures and never had any issues.

I would totally rock a Fleshlight if I didn't have guilt issues associated with masturbation.
