Our Dear Friend, the Fleshlight
The Fleshlight is easily the most popular masturbation sleeve ever patented by a former SWAT team member. While his wife was dealing with a dicey pregnancy, Steven Shubin devised a masturbation toy with a flashlight style casing to sate his sensual urges, and history was kind enough to make his Fleshlight a iconic name in the world of masturbation sleeves. The Fleshlight’s popular enough so that if you were to make a Fleshlight joke at work, at least some of your colleagues would get it. If your Fleshlight joke was funny enough, you might even dodge getting written up or terminated.
The Fleshlight is a deceptively simple device. Currently produced and marketed by Interactive Life Forms, the Fleshlight incorporates the flashlight shaped housing with a fleshy material that sports an orifice on the Fleshlight’s open end, and a textured CyberSkin insert. The Fleshlight’s ten inch length can accommodate just about any penis that delves into it, and buyers have a wide variety of choices in the Fleshlight’s colors, internal textures, and orifices. The Fleshlight’s current orifice selection includes Pink Stealth (just a slot, so it’s not a dead giveaway as a sex toy), vagina, anus, and mouth openings. For the gay demographic, ILF offers the Fleshjack, essentially the same Fleshlight we all know and love targeted to gay sex toy fans.
To get the most out of your Fleshlight, run some warm water over the CyberSkin; it’ll feel more inviting on your penis than room temperature CyberSkin. Apply plenty of lube to your penis, insert said penis into the Fleshlight’s orifice, and stroke away. Hold still and run the Fleshlight up and down your penis, or keep the Fleshlight stationary and thrust in and out. Either motion should bring you to orgasm satisfactorily. You can also adjust the intensity of the Fleshlight’s suction by turning the cap at the base of the Fleshlight. While the Fleshlight isn’t designed as a vibrating toy, there’s enough space at the hollow end of the Fleshlight’s base to insert a bullet vibrator, and that’ll give you some impressive vibration action from your Fleshlight.
A couple of cautionary tips regarding your Fleshlight. You might find a small white tube with the Fleshlight’s CyberSkin the first time you take the Fleshlight out of the box. Just toss it out – it’s only there for shipping the Fleshlight and stroking off with the Fleshlight with that thingie tucked in there could be mighty uncomfortable. Also remember to clean your Fleshlight thoroughly after each use, particularly the Fleshlight’s CyberSkin. Otherwise, the Fleshlight gets disgusting, decidedly unhygienic, and it becomes very hard for the Fleshlight to fit the bill as a discreet sex toy when it’s emanating the overpowering stench of your old spunk. After a while, the Fleshlight’s CyberSkin may begin to lose some of its silky feel. The solution? Corn starch. Don’t ask me why; it just seems to work.
The Fleshlight’s a sturdy toy; the casing makes the Fleshlight about as durable as a heavy-duty flashlight and since there aren’t any batteries or motorized parts to worry about, you can use your Fleshlight safely in the shower as long as you forego the soap while using your Fleshlight. Soap damages Fleshlight sleeves, plus it’ll burn like a sonofabitch if it comes into contact with your penis while you’re using the Fleshlight. The Fleshlight is widely available, both online and in brick-and-mortar sex shops. So take the plunge and score a Fleshlight of your own – find out for yourself why millions of users have made friends with the Fleshlight.
