From the makers of Fleshlight, now there’s the [Phone Strap](http://www.fleshlight.com/phone-strap/). You can use this strap, clamp and hinged assembly to attach a smart phone or small tablet to your leg, freeing up both hands to jerk off. And maybe to have two way Skype sex or something. The funniest thing is the picture on the tablet screen – a football game. FYI, there’s nothing NSFW on this particular page, but don’t go wandering the site at work or you’ll end up with some NSFW images on other pages. Also, it actually seems like a decent idea for some non-sex applications, so it’s especially funny that it’s marketed by a sex toy maker. ---

How about a link, you left it out. ---

Wasn’t hard to find; though it appears SFW, I spoilered it anyway - it’s still the Fleshlight website: [http://www.fleshlight.com/phone-strap/#products](http://www.fleshlight.com/phone-strap/#products) ---

That’s really strange, I don’t see it in the OP, but if I hit the quote button, it shows up, clear as day. Same for Nametag’s post. The spoiler box appears empty, but if I quote the post, it’s there. I’m in FF, I just checked it with Chrome, which also happens to be logged out, same thing, and clearly Nametag was having the same issue. ---

Also, just quickly looking, I do still see links in other threads, so it’s not that. ---

Hmmm, a corrupted thread? Not surprising, given the subject matter. ---

Football! I’m jerkin off like a mofo. Looks like a good way to watch movies while driving. I keed, I keed! ---

I started a thread in ATMB about the vanishing link and spoiler in this one. ---

It’s not really a new product, just a new way to market an existing product, I guess. Similar (or possibly, exactly the same) things have been used for various purposes and sports where it’s handy to be able to mount your phone to your leg for quick viewing and access, or where there’s really nowhere else to mount it. Probably inspired by the [kneeboards](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot%27s_kneeboard) that pilots use. ---

Voltaire’s link worked, maybe it’s the product. ---

Running Firefox 28.0 with Adblock Plus. I disabled it, refreshed the page and the missing stuff appeared. ---

Only a question of time before someone makes one to fit on your penis. Wonder if it will use a suction cup? ---

I particularly enjoy the featured review from “captainbeefstik,” sounds legit. ---

> [@Kenm](#): > > Running Firefox 28.0 with Adblock Plus. I disabled it, refreshed the page and the missing stuff appeared. Adblock must not like the fleshlight website. But odd that it’s blocking a link. I’ve never seen it do that. There must be some weird ad that can only be detected as a link, or something. ---

I see the links OK, in the OP and in **Nametag** ’s spoiler box, but both just get me a 404 on the Fleshlight site. I don’t see the product listed anywhere there either. I even did searches for both _strap_ and _phone_ (trying to understand what the damn thing is supposed to be for). 😕 ---

I forgot about the Adblock I had running. It all worked after I disabled it. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hilarious-new-product/686734.md?page=2)
