> OP, please clarify. Are you looking to find some sort of organism for a human male to masturbate into, or are you looking for some type of natural “appliance” that a primitive animal would be able to use for self-pleasure?

The former. Ideally into an organism but if there’s enough external stimulation, as one could imagine with certain species of sea anemone, that could also work.

I cannot believe I am replying to this thread, but…how about fungi? Many are rather phallic, but some are invaginated, so to speak. Like trumpet mushrooms. I imagine the texture would be passable.

“Are you looking to find some sort of organism for a human male to masturbate into…”. Answer from the OP was yes. Sheep have been the age old “go-to”.
