I have used one. They’re actually not so bad. While randomly browsing the internet awhile ago I came across a review of one at [http://www.pleasurereviews.com/archives/fun-with-my-flesh-lite-fleshlight](http://www.pleasurereviews.com/archives/fun-with-my-flesh-lite-fleshlight) , and decided to try it out. While it’s not better than sex, its definitely something that can be used so that your not held hostage by your girlfriend’s attitude of the hour. Clean up does kinda suck though. ---

Your poll is missing: “No, I keep getting overcome with embarrassment in the sex shop.” Not that something like that would be descriptive of me, of course. … Actually, this one of those issues for the “do you want to be the other gender” thread. Yes, I would like to be a woman so that masturbation / using sex toys would be cool, sexy and empowering, rather than pathetic, stupid and indicative of being a loser. ---

My husband has a knock-off he got from adam eve dot com. It’s the Katie Morgan version and was just $20 with free shipping when he used the discount code KATIE at checkout! He thought it was weird for 10 seconds and now reaaaaaaaaally likes it as an alternative to just his hand. He doesn’t even warm it up … just washes it out with soap and water and wraps it in a wash cloth before putting it away. ---

Yes, I would like to be a woman so that masturbation / using sex toys would be cool, sexy and empowering, rather than pathetic, stupid and indicative of being a loser. Why is using a sex toy for men pathetic, stupid and indicative of being a loser other than because you said so? Double standard much? **kenetic** - the flip is a lot more expensive and has moving parts, so whilst it may be better as a high end sex toy it’s not really comparable to most of the fleshlights. ---

> [@Illuminatiprimus](#): > > **kenetic** - the flip is a lot more expensive and has moving parts, so whilst it may be better as a high end sex toy it’s not really comparable to most of the fleshlights. They’re in the same price range, with the lower end flips being cheaper than the fleshlights. Tenga Eggs are even cheaper, and contrary to what someone else said, reusable. ---

On second look you’re right, the flip is pretty much the same as a fleshlight with case (and it doesn’t have moving parts, I was mentally confusing it with the real touch). Maybe I’ll give it a try! Can’t see myself going for the egg, just doesn’t look particularly sturdy or fun. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ok-fellas-fess-up-who-here-has-used-a-fleshlight/592942.md?page=3)
