Ah, the Fleshlight: the cylindrical, squishy, gold standard of jerking off that has defined the way men’s masturbation toys are supposed to look and feel. Whenever you’re unsure of a sex toy to buy and take home to your lair, you can always count on the Fleshlight to provide an unforgettable experience. While it feels like this triumph in ingenuity has been around forever, this "device for discreet sperm collection" has only been in production since the late 90s — and it probably didn’t come about in the way you expected.
The story begins with an ex-cop from Los Angeles named Steve Shubin who patented the device as a means to save his marriage. After getting his wife pregnant with twins, her and Shubin were advised not to have sex until the babies were born because both were over 40 at the time. Knowing he couldn’t stand nine months without a little bit of the ol’ nice-nice, Steve began experimenting with homemade sex toys. After some trial and error—in which he nailed down the exact kind of material that best imitated the feel of a vagina—and a $50,000 loan, Shubin found the right recipe and made the Fleshlight a reality.
Since then, the famed sex toy has gone into production, evolved into different versions, and made its mark by using the bodies of famous porn stars as the models for dozens of come-to-life faux vaginas. They’ve got Fleshlight accessories—including a shower mount, sleeve warmer, and a virtual sex adapter—as well as a line of interactive toys that make virtual sex with a pornstar as close to the real thing as the men who buy this toy will ever get.
Because the sheer variety of Fleshlights has risen to epic proportions, we’ve heroically and nobly gone through their variety of toys and scrutinized each one to find the best ones for you. Alongside solo adventures, we’ve picked the best Fleshlights for couples, the best Fleshlights modeled after porn stars, and the best Fleshlights for those wishing to up the experience with virtual reality. With this list, we hope you find the Fleshlight that suits your personality best and takes your masturbation game to the next level.
Pro-tip: We suggest introducing a VR element into the equation to make your jerking off session something you’ll never forget. After a quick trial period, we fully endorse WankzVR—a hands-free virtual reality sex app that enables your experience with VR. Once you download the app on your (Samsung) phone and place it into your headset, you’ll be transported inside a porno movie that feels so real that you’ll swear you’re the one having sex with the leading characters. The only thing missing is a warm body part, so put on your headset, grab your Fleshlight and make your dreams come true.
