What is a Fleshlight And How do You Use One?

While you’re probably a pro at using your hands, there’s a reason fleshlights are so popular. These things feel almost exactly like the real stuff, and sometimes even better. Well let’s get it started then.

Fleshlights! You’ve probably heard about these sneaky masturbation sleeves, but have you ever seen one up close? Would you know how to use it if you did? 

Don’t worry if the idea of a Fleshlight male masturbator is a bit new and foreign to you. Keep reading to learn what one is, how to use it, and what mistakes you should avoid.

What is a Fleshlight?

The Fleshlight was designed by Steve Shubin, who was granted a patent in July 1998 for his invention. It first started as as a “device for discreet sperm collection”.

Saying it simple, the Fleshlight is a brand of artificial vulva or artificial anus sex toy. Fleshlights are male masturbators designed to simulate the sensation of sexual penetration. The interior is soft, pliable, and is often ridged for extra stimulation. Fleshlights are named Fleshlights because they look like flashlights – makes sense, right?

The inner sleeve feels like flesh and is available with a vulva, mouth or anus. You can buy them in colours representing a variety of ethnicities as well as see-through, and 48 different internal textures.

The Fleshlight Girls brand consists of masturbation sleeves moulded from the bodies of pornographic actresses. A device called the Fleshjack is a spinoff marketed to gay men. The Fleshjack Boys brand consists of masturbation sleeves and dildos molded from the bodies of gay pornographic actors.

How to use a Fleshlight: The best way to use a Fleshlight

We suggest following some steps before and during the use of a Fleshlight. For optimal use, it’s recommended to warm up the Fleshlight beforehand…

1. Warm it up

You can warm your Fleshlight by removing the real-feel sleeve from the case and submerging it in warm water. Once the sleeve has reached your desired temperature, shake off the excess water and return the sleeve to its plastic case.

You could also try sliding your Fleshlight onto the Quickshot Sleeve Warmer, it heats up to 40º in less than 5 minutes and maintains the temperature so as not to lose pleasure.

2. Lube up you Fleshlight

To make Fleshlight easy and pleasurable for entering, apply a water-based lubricant to the product. For the best experience, apply lubricant to your penis, entrance and inside the product. Don’t skimp on the lube!

3. Penetrate and thrust

When you’re nicely lubed up, it’s time to enjoy your Fleshlight. The speed and rhythm are up to you… Freestyle in a way that feels good!

Want to spice things up a little bit? There are a few Fleshlight techniques that can do the trick. For instance, we sell a range of bullet vibrators that are small enough to fit into the end of your Fleshlight. Pop one into the bottom and top off your enjoyment with glorious vibrations.
