I posted there that I own a Fleshlight[sub]TM[/sub], and have never performed the maintenance that 2trew mentions, and haven’t had any problems yet. Don’t use too often either.
At this point, IMHO, there may be better products out there that are cheaper.
FWIW -
Ended up going with the fleshlight. Single guy (that it was given too) is still single… maybe he know longer needs a woman? I don’t know.
If you’re genuinely curious though, I’ll see if I can muster the courage to ask about its “coaxing abilities”. It’s not exactly the kind of thing we’ve seriously talked about so I’m a little hesistant.
It’s pretty good. Definitely worth the money. I might get another version of it in the future, maybe with ribbing for more stimulation. It was much softer and velvety than I ever imagined.
It takes awhile to get it properly warmed. I eventually settled on running water through a coffee maker and using that to warm it up.
You know, speaking as a fellow single…lonely straight guy, I can honestly say that I have considered buying it several times this past year. Maybe I’ll get it as a Christmas present for myself
One of the things that gave me pause, though, is the taboo. If a guy uses any inadimate object besides his hands to masturbate, it is seen as juvenile, desperate, ‘he-aint-getting-laid-anytime-soon’ pity. But when a woman talks about vibrators, or the ocasional cucumber or something, its seen as far more normal. Like there’s some unspoken agreement among humanind that virtually anything a guy does sexually that doesn’t involve a woman indecates some kind of sexual inadequacy on his part. Guy screwing a cantelopue? ‘sick’. Woman masturbating with a cucumber? ‘hot’ :rolleyes:
I’d probably want to know how close it is to the real thing- current indications suggest it isn’t. If then, I don’t see it feeling any better than what I can already do wtih my hands, which don’t cost $40 to operate I already have a problem with being conditioned to respond to sensations my hands create, getting much less out of vaginal sex (not to say I don’t enjoy it; I’d gladly have sex instead of masturbate. But on a purely sensation scale, masturbation feels better). However if this feels closer to a vagina than it does a hand, it might be worth having until I am in a sexual relationship again.
Ok then (I can’t believe I’m saying this )…is it significantly different in sensation than using your hands? See, when I had sex for the first time last summer, it felt a lot different than masturbation.
It’s definitely something you’d only want to use when you’re alone in the house. No way in hell you’d cover up in time if someone were to suddenly walk into the room. There’s no innocent explanation when your pants are down and you have a thing that looks suspiciously like a vagina in your hands.
