Ever heard of the Fleshlight?
 

Has anyone ever heard of the Fleshlight?

And the fleshlight is.....? For those uninformed, or with poor memory??

Not sure what the OP's point of discussion, is, however.

Yeah, here's a classic example of "weak OP".

Thread closing in five... four... three...

Sorry.

Moderator please move this to the appropriate forum and I will elaborate.

No, don't worry, this is the right forum. Feel free to elaborate right here.

I recently bought one and just wanted to let the members know what an incredible device it is.

I was overwhelmed. Sometimes we buy something and say, "this sucks".
Quite the opposite here - it rocks.

Hunh! I always assumed it was some over-hyped plastic piece of junk. Frankly, I have a hard time imagining a tool that could do better than good old "manual overdrive". But I'm willing to be wrong about that!

By the way, thanks for coming back and making a decent thread out of this. Lots of posters would get offended or pissed off. Thanks for taking the high road--it's what this place is about.

I've always thought it was a hunk of junk as well... in the near future I will be spending a few months away from my wife... I might have to make an investment in fun!

Once I bought something slightly similar. Much cheaper. Hey you get what you pay for. It sucked. And I don't mean that in a good way!

Go to the website (not sure if I'm allowed to make the link). Check it out. I did a little research before I purchased it. I went to other sites etc. Check out the videos. If what you see looks good - let me tell you it is.

By the way, ratbastid. Your right I did hang in there. I was reprimanded by the moderator as being too vague. But YOU could have been nicer and coaxed me along instead of the 5, 4 etc.

We are supposed to be friends. We should act that way.
I don't post too often and I found two subjects I wanted to ask about and tell about. I got shot down.
I have been with TFP a long, long time. Plus I have always been a donor. I support TFP in the way I feel. The way I feel. Get it?
Now don't get huffy on me. I can see your feathers getting ruffled!

And Charlatan - get it, you won't regret it.

I did a search before posting this and was amazed that a progressive forum like TFP had no hits on the fleshlight. Oh well. Now there will be.

Later

The fleshlight has definately been mentioned before, however, since the upgrade last weekend the search index files have not be rebuilt.

When you search all you are searching is that which has been posted since the upgrade. Hal is working on getting the old indexes restored.

Umm..why should I have to check out the website for whatever this item is? Are you incapable of explaining what you are talking about? For example. What is the fleshlight? What does it do? Why do you recommend it;other than it being incredible? Elaborate please.

The fleshlight is a masterbation tool- http://www.fleshlight.com/main/index1.php

Martel has a masterbation "friend" I bought him for christmas- made of really soft gooey plastic, shaped like a woman (he finds this hilarious). He really really likes it for when I give him handjobs, but it's not his usual masterbation tool- that's why God gave us hands! He says it feels really really good tho- really soft and with a lot of indirect stimulation all over his penis. Plus it makes giving a handjob a LOT easier.

And enough mud slinging :)

I bought a fleshlight for my boyfriend as a gag gift one Christmas. He actually likes it. I never expected him to use it, but when I'm sick or not avaible it's helpful :)

He likes it... We even bought a extra couple of the inserts to try.

And as a side note, I don't feel guilty or jealous by it. There are just sometimes that I can't be around or feel up to helping out at the time.

And this is coming from a females perspective. :lol:

Fair enough. Tell you what: I'll concede that I could have been nicer if you'll promise to take and apply in the future the appropriate lesson about how best to start threads. Deal?

I don't have one, but one idea I saw once was to put it in hot water to heat it up to 98-100 degrees.

http://www.fleshlight-videos.net/fle...q.html#HEATING
NOTE: There is a streaming video with sound on this site.

I used to joke with my girlfriend about buying one, but I never really put any stock into it, as I doubt it's really any good.

Oh yes rat, I've learned my lesson alright.

I heard that they are a royal pain to clean out after you are done with them. How do you handle that part?

You're supposed to clean 'em out?

Ohhhhhhhh...well...that explains a lot.

Awww, sick. Sometimes I hate having an active imagination that churns out images without me prompting it.

You use a water based lube.
You pull the insert out hold it under the faucet. There is a hole at the other end. Once your done rinsing you let it dry and then if you want sprinkle it with corn starch.

That "cornstarch" reference triggered a memory for me, so I searched. According to the Fleshlight site, the material is "Real Feel Super Skin®". Violet Blue did a writeup on "Unsafe Sex Products"; in it, she mentioned offhand that:
Of course, she is looking at these products from a "body cavity insertion" standpoint, which is the opposite of what we are dealing with here. Nonetheless, that melting thing is something to watch out for.

I myself got two(one of the vaginal ones and one of the anals)

And i fucking love them

But i defiently prefer my girlfriends touch but these i definetly use on lonely nights:thumbsup:

for those times when you really want to pleasure yourself, heres something you can make yourself (I assume would be like the fleshlight.)
You take a disposable rubber glove (or similiar product), wrap a facecloth around it (as tight as you prefer) leaving roughly 1/2inch of sock hanging out. then put a sock over it it (to keep wrapped up). fill with lube/lotion and enjoy. :)
I dunno, I always thought everyone knew of this.
Unless the fleshlight is something different.

Google still delivers! Here is an image of the fleshlight...

http://www.fleshlight.com/main/image...e_express1.jpg

It seems it also comes with multiple entry options...

http://www.fleshlight.com/main/images/purchase_byo1.jpg

*shurgs*... I dunno but the women folk seem to have their fun with all sorts of vibrating contraptions...why not one for the boys? :lol:

Socks and plastic baggies dont hold a candle to the FL. If anyone does buy one though, please dont get a plain jane model. They are terrible. Go for the ribbed versions!

in that picture what is the 3rd entry?

The nondescript slot is just that... it is a hole that doesn't look like anything. I guess some are a bit weirded out by anthropomorphic fleshlights.

I went to the "Everything to do with Sex Show" in Toronto a couple of years ago and saw something similar. This wonderful, friendly lady in an empty booth approached us as we were walking by and had us feel the toy and had such a good rapport and explained how good it feels for her boyfriend and how she loves to use it on him too. Yadayadayada... I almost bought one right then but was embarressed because my buddy was there.

Perhaps I should get one. Do they sell them in sex shops in Ontario?

Are the vaginal and anal ones really that different?

I have to admit...I am curious about this. It sounds like it can come in handy (*romshit*) on those nights when the wife isn't up for lovin'.

Huh, I always thought fleshlight was a term for a penis.

Yea, so the enormous latex rubber vagina picture just changed this thread from benign to very NSFW -- quick with the alt-tab, at least..

If you could get enough people to say they'll buy it someone could probably setup a group purchase, where they give us a discount coupon or something...
I'd be a maybe... depends on how big of a discount we were able to get...

the ford explorer forum I'm on does things like that from time to time.

I actually laughed when I saw the word 'Fleshlight'.... I still don't understand what it is exactly...hmmm

I'll admit it. I have one. Well.. 2 actually.

I got the one that looks like a mouth as my first one. I didn't like it at all. Didn't feel right to me. Kinda hurt!! So it went away. Later I bought the "lady" version with the ribbed interior... Super Amazing feeling! I can't recommend it enough for those nights when the Girfriend/wife are away..

She can also use it on you as well. And that's a neat experience as well.

Definately check them out! A price well spent.

Yes, they do. Though you can also order them online. I know that Come as You Are (a great Toronto sex shop) has them and ships in plain packaging.

I have several fleshlight inserts. They kick ass. :thumbsup:

You can read about others' experience on the official site's forums, and in my experience they're pretty accurate.

I've got one, and it's definitely worth it. It's a completely different feeling than just using your hands. Clean up is a little bit of a hassle, but that goes for any sex toy.

When I got mine, they had a special package deal where they'd ship you a "random" insert...you couldn't pick the opening or color, but it was 1/2 price! It turned out to be a plain non-descript opening one, but it's pretty amazing. I was skeptical, but I highly recommend this product to anybody thinking about it. Money well spent.
It's pretty huge/unwieldy though...not exactly the size of any flashlight I've seen.

One of the best suggestions I read somewhere was to put it between two mattress pads.

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 :eek: - 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 :lol:

http://www.fleshlight.com/main/images/purchase_byo1.jpg
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.:thumbsup:

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 :lol: )

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?" :eek:

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. :lol: 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!! :D

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...

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 :p 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 picked one up before I left Toronto... best purchase I've made in years.

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

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?

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.

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 :)

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.

Heard about it on here the other day

I mean, I dont see any reason for it to be criminalised, I personally am not interested in it, but if there is a market people should be free to purchase things like this

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

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.

I accidentally this whole thread.

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 :(

Some women are very vocal. To the point your neighbors knock on the door.

Answering to someone pounding on your door with a hard-on and a .45? Huge buzzkill.

I dunno. That sounds kinda hawt. Throw in a Fleshlight and I think we have it.

The whole thing??? :eek:

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

---------- Post added at 02:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 AM ----------

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

No, but real women do. :thumbsup:
