Earlier this year I bought a FleshLight for Sigel and he was so pleased with it he thought it might be a great toy for Arch. Since we can only be together for a few weeks out of the year this might lend a bit more fun to our Skype time.

As his birthday rolled closer and closer I began to tease Arch about all the toys I could buy him and Sigel again suggested the FleshLight so I decided it would do since it came so highly recommended!

As always the toy arrived from EF quickly and quietly, packaged in a plain box with no indication a sex toy lay within. The toy itself lay perfectly cocooned in a black and green metal tin. On the tin are some silver images of obviously naked women in various 'stripper' poses and the words FleshLight. Not completely discreet but not overly pornographic either. There's a peel off sticker that gives some basic information about the toy. It peels off cleanly leaving you with a perfect place to store your FleshLight.

The FleshLight that I chose for both guys is the Lady Original in pink. The toy is shaped like an oversized industrial flashlight fashioned our of black hard plastic. Both ends of the tube screw off, for easy cleaning and to adjust the amount of suction. Tighten or loosen the base to adjust the amount of force it takes to slide your cock into the cyberskin stroker. The top unscrews to reveal a beautifully fashioned cyberskin pussy. The pussy is visually appealing from it's lovely inner labia to it's pearl of a clit just peeking though the hood. The skin is soft and actually very lifelike. The lady Original is a smooth stroker without textures, but FleshLight offers many replacement strokers that have textures inside of them making this possibly the most versatile, and customizable male stroker available. The total length of the toy is 10 inches and can easily accommodate up to an 8 inch cock. This toy weighs a mere 20 oz making it light and easy to maneuver. It has no appreciable smell or taste.

The toy comes with FleshLight's own brand of water based lube 'Flesh Lube' which has a lovely honeysuckle scent to it. FleshLight suggests you use only water based lube with their toy to prolong it's useful life. The sample is a fairly large .33 oz which is good for at least two applications depending on how thick you like to put it on, and washes away easily with warm soap and water. The toy has quite a lot of 'drag' to it so lube is very recommended!

This stroker is easy to clean but does require some extra care. To clean the toy simply open both sides of the tube and either gently pull the sleeve from the case or run some warm water through the toy first, then remove from the case. Clean with warm water, no soap, and allow to dry fully. Dust with some cornstarch to maintain that soft life-like surface and replace in the plastic case. Please be sure the stroker is fully dry before storing as it can mold.

Cyberskin is porous so if you plan to share your stroker it might be advisable to use a condom. A condom would make cleaning the stroker much easier for guys who worry about such things.

The stroker can be a bit chilly at first but Sigel recommends running some warm water through the stroker before lubing it up or using a hair dryer on cool setting to gently heat up the opening for a more realistic feel. You could also simply warm your lube in a glass of warm water for the same effect. Depending on how tight you put the bottom cap on this toy can be a bit loud, it's not gonna wake the children but it will be noticeable if there is someone in the room.

At first Arch was bemused that I was going to get him involved in toy play beyond using toy on me. He couldn't see the use since he was well acquainted with his hand and it requires very little in the way of extra cleaning and maintenance. He was amused by the sturdy but not totally discreet tin it arrived in, remarking that it wouldn't leave anything to the imagination, this IS a sex toy! He was pleased by the shape of the FleshLight case though, it wasn't 'girly' or overly sexxy just utilitarian. It said 'Hi, I'm a male sex toy. Meant for a guy...you heard me!" Ok so it was late at night and we were a bit silly.
We touched the toy, I tasted the toy (every guys dream a little female tongue play) and we lubed it up. The first stroke was a bit chilly but Arch said it warmed up very fast and in no time he was pounding away! He was very surprised at how much he enjoyed the thing. In his words, "It doesn't replace the real thing but it does add something to jacking off that is very nice!" Which was pretty much Sigel's thoughts on the toy. We tried warming it up with some warm water and the WOW factor went up astronomically, now he was moaning and pounding away!
The FleshLight is so easy to clean and there are so many sleeves with added texture that I think this is going to be a treasured (and easy) gift for many years to come.

We have bought two of these babies and both guys will tell you that they do not regret any of the money they spent on them! They won't replace a real, live woman but they will add a special spark to solo time that makes the whole experience of being solo something better.

We haven't had any problems with molding, mildewing, or breakdown. The soft insides of the toy are still firm, resilient and non sticky. The cylinders show no signs of wear despite some rather rough use.

While this Lady hasn't got any textures to excite and titillate with some warming lube and a few turns of the end cap to create suction, this is a pretty sweet ride.
