Fleshlights: Are They Any Good?
Female vibrators have been openly championed as a means for sexual freedom and enjoyment. However, by comparison, male sex toys still have an ‘under the counter’ feel to them; they are rarely discussed and there is little information available to those who feel they might be interested. One of the toys that are gaining in popularity is the Fleshlight.
While it might sound like some kinky sort of torch, the Fleshlight is actually an aid to male masturbation. While it is torch-like in shape, the area where the bulb would be housed is replaced with a life-like moulding of the vagina. At its most basic, the man inserts his penis into this mould and uses it to masturbate. However, thanks to advances in latex technology, the thing that gives the Fleshlight its appeal, is its feel: using a material known as ‘superskin’, Fleshlights are as close as you’ll get to having sex without actually having sex.
While the masturbatory benefits are obvious, there are other advantages to using a Fleshlight:
● It puts the user in control; they can have a great sexual experience, virtually wherever and whenever they want it.
● It can be used to increase your stamina, performance and staying power. Whether you’re a sexual veteran or a confirmed rookie, there is always room for improvement. Many Fleshlights come with special inserts, designed to heighten your pleasure. Testing yourself against these can lead to a better performance in the bedroom.
● Fleshlights were originally designed to combat the rise of STDs through promiscuity. Using a Fleshlight keeps you safe until you meet the right person.
The only real downside to Fleshlights is that they require cleaning and maintenance. In addition to the lubricant you will need for pleasuring yourself, you will also need anti-bacterial, alcohol-free spray and a restorative powder that helps the superskin to maintain its flesh-like qualities.
While many men use Fleshlights for masturbation, many couples use them as part of their sex-lives. The general consensus seems to be that they are a versatile and satisfying toy that offers great pleasure to both single men and those in relationships.
