Can I ask?

So, I've been against these things for ever, however Eden has started to make be think I shouldn't be. Is it really that much better than your hand. Now I want to make this clear, I am a masterbatory wizard with my hand. I can last for hours without popping of for sex, but I can get myself of in like four minutes. Do all these flesh lights and such really make a huge difference, and is there a cheap one to try to see if I am even going to like this stuff, that isn't going to insure I hate it?

I think it depends a lot on personal preference, so unfortunately you won't really know for sure until you try. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of masturbators either. They feel nice, but I have yet to try one that I felt was a mind blowing experience. And even if you do enjoy masturbators, there is some variety available that will also vary by personal preference. Each one has different firmness of materials and different textures available, so there are many things to consider.

Here is a recent thread where I gave some general information about the more popular ones available: link

My husband had never used anything other than his hand, and he was very impressed and really liked the various textures that the masturbators have inside of them.

I would start with something less expensive and work your way up. That's what we did. I would suggest something like Ona Pit Pleats as a first choice. It's $10, it's small, easy to use, and has a great ribbed texture inside. If you find you like that one, great! You can always get a more expensive one from there. If you don't like it, then you're only out $10. I say it's worth a shot!

Fleshlights are great...I almost never use my hand unless I have to. They are best when used for thrusting, but work fine for stroking too. You have to break them in a few times for best results and use a good lube. I wouldn't bother with a cheap toy...you will be disappointed. Get a fleshlight on sale or with your points.

I used to think similarly to you, after over a decade of happily masturbating by hand I wasn't convinced that buying extra equipment would really be able to offer any improvements, and I'm happy to say I was wrong.

Using a Fleshlight is quite a different experience to your hand for a number of reasons. One, you get constant stimulation all over the surface of your penis from the toy, far more than you feel from rubbing your hand up and down over the sensitive parts. Two, you can't squeeze your penis when using it as it has a hard case, so you instead rely on the tightness of the toy to apply a constant level of titillating pressure. Three, the toys have a variety of textures inside which you can really feel, and which deliver quite unexpected sensations.

A really good Fleshlight for a lowish price is the Flight

If you don't want to spend a lot right away then try one of the single-use Tenga toys.

My husband felt the exact same way!! Then we got a sleeve, Tenga Air Flip and a penis pump as push assignments--separatel y of course. The first few times he or we tried them it was less than impressive but since we had to do the follow up review we used them a few more times.....

Now he owns many sleeves, masturbators, pumps, the Tenga and the Fuck me Silly. He says it is not the same as masturbation and likened it to: " It is like the difference between fucking and masturbating. They both feel amazing and are mind blowingly satisfying....just in different ways."

I think I can understand why you feel that way but frankly NONE of these toys are better than the real thing or good ol' rosey palms. However they are different and sometimes different is really good. Just my opinion.

It's better than your hand because it is something else giving your dick stimulation. It is still you stroking but it is better. Also it will give you sensations that your hand cannot. These aren't mindblowing sensations but something new once in awhile is the spice of life. A handjob is always better than a sex toy and I have gone from masturbators to my hand and thought wow my hand is good. But I still go to masturbators 95/100 of the time.

There are very good reviews on the maven, super head honco and hotmilk. Those are cheap, $20-30. I've only tried the super head honcho and it's dang good.

Keep in mind it takes a few times to get the right amount of lube and get the right angle and the right method for a masturbator to really work. Then you'll be saving up for some fleshlights/tengas.

Thanks, really mixed opinions om this I suppose. Sadly all the cheaper models you guys have mentioned don't fit my junk. Neither do most of the fleshlights, which was sad I liked to case on the Sucku Dry. All of these seem like alot of work too.

The fact of the matter is that no sleeve or pocket pussy is ever going to feel as good as a womans kitty but if you find the right one it will feel a hell of alot better than using your hands,some products are better than others and it also depends on a persons preferences.

I would say yes and no.I have had toys that have felt better than my hand but i have also had some that just didn't work for me and ended up in the trash,i would suggest that if you are new to this that you don't spend too much money on a toy this way if you end up with one that you feel is not too good you wont feel too bad about spending alot of loot on it.

I totally second this. While I still enjoy my hand, using my Flight is a rather different and awesome experience. For me, I didn't get it to "improve on" or "replace" my hand; instead, it's just a distinct (and pretty great feeling) way to get off. One other plus of my Flight over my hand: hands absorb lube over time and masturbators mostly don't (or shouldn't).

They are only around 60 dollars and if you don't buy a lot of anal toys...that's really not that much to spend on a toy. Some women spend over 100-200 on a single vibrator. Even if you hate it, just think about how women sometimes spend an average of 50 just on one decent vib.
