Fleshlights versus Cheap Masturbators [Guest Post]

January 18th, 2013

Calling all men! If you’ve never used a masturbator before but want to explore this exclusively male sex toy, how do you know which one to go for? Do you go all out and buy the crème de la crème of male masturbators, the Fleshlight, or do you opt for a cheaper model to begin with?

There are a number of different masturbators available all depending upon your preference. For example, one of the cheapest types of male sex toys on the market are masturbation penis sleeves. Usually retailing for under £10, these simple yet effective soft silicone sleeves wrap around the shaft of the penis and come with different patterned nodules to make masturbation a little different. They are designed to fit all shapes and size of penis and can be re-used. Male adult toys in the form of double open ended tubes are similarly inexpensive. These male toys are usually made of stretchy silicone and also come with stimulating pleasure nodules or ribbing on the inside to make your masturbation more varied.

Penis head stimulators work slightly differently to other male masturbators because they target the most sensitive part of the male erogenous zone, the glans. Non-vibrating alternatives come in the guise of a chamber for the head of the penis which is stimulated using a hand pump. Satisfaction for the glans can also be achieved using a multi-speed vibrating sheath. These alternative takes on the traditional male sex toy usually cost around the £10 mark.

fleshlightAlso common are single ended masturbation tubes or cups. The inexpensive variations (normally around £10-£15) come with tight lifelike openings that are either plain, or in the form of a mouth, an anus or a vagina. Usually these 6-7 inch long tubes come with stimulating inner chambers. The tightness of feel can be altered by either squeezing the tube or if it comes with an air hole at the closed end, this can be entirely or partially covered to bring about the same effect. These inexpensive masturbation tubes are designed for single use but they can be re-used with condoms. Vibrating single ended masturbation cups or tubes provide additional stimulation for the entire length of the penis. Available in stretchy silicone for around £30, they also come with stimulating inner nodules but also have the benefit of multi-speed vibrations built in for additional gratification. High end alternatives retailing for over £100 can also be purchased which have over 40 different functions of multispeed vibrations combined with a rotating action.

Fleshlights are also a type of single ended masturbator which come in the form of a torch style tube. Retailing at considerably higher than the cheaper alternatives (prices are usually between £36 and £63), Fleshlights are deserving of their higher price tags and their caveat of being the best selling male sex toys in the world because they are designed to be re-used and can tolerate years of masturbation play. Suitable for all sizes of men, Flesh light masturbators differ from cheaper alternatives because they come with a realistic feeling inner skin (Superskin) which has been observed as being the closest feeling thing to real penetrative sex from a masturbator. The inner chambers also come with a number of different textures to stimulate your shaft with including nodules, twists, waves and ribs all dependent upon the model. What distinguishes Fleshlights from less expensive masturbators is that the inner chamber can be removed and cleaned after use making them very hygienic and re-usable without condoms. Choose from realistic tight openings in the form of a plain hole, a vagina, an anus (Fleshjacks) or a mouth. The tightness of the inner chamber can also be adjusted according to your preference. Unlike the £10-£15 masturbators, a number of Fleshlights are also cast from the stars of adult films for an even more realistic experience. A selection of Fleshlights also come with the addition of vibrating bullets inside to further enhance your enjoyment! The Fleshlight Vagina Stamina Training Unit even claims to improve your bedroom performance by training you to last longer with regular use!

In conclusion, as with any purchase, choosing the best male masturbator for you is down to budget and personal preference. If you are just looking to try something out, one of the less experience variants might be more appropriate; if you want something that feels almost as good as penetrative sex and that will last for years to come then a Fleshlight or Fleshjack could be a better option.
