I have to say that Fleshlights specifically, and masturbation sleeves in general, are pure genius. I haven't experimented with all the different inner textures but I have to say the standard lotus felt very realistic to me. Aesthetically I've always been astonished at the incredible variation in womens labia majora and minora and I like that Fleshlight pays tribute to that through their Fleshlight Girls series. I've also read that it is good to change up your masturbatory routine so that you don't become "conditioned" to achieving orgasm with one type of stimulus. So this is a nice way to vary your routine.

My first experience taught me that you want to make sure you use enough lube since it can chaff if you don't. Felt like a rug burn. Not good. But once I got that right it really is amazing. If you go slow you can definitely feel the different sections of the inner tube. It makes you realize that someone is putting a LOT of thought into this toy, and I like that. The Fleshlight website gives some great info on their toys and there is a good article on them in Taschen's Big Book of Pussy.

The flip side of the great feel of the Fleshlight is the aprés sex part. It's a little too expensive of a toy for me to just roll over and go to sleep afterwards. I feel like all the lube and bodily fluids will be less likely to completely clean up if I waited for the morning. So I always feel as if I need to get up, run warm water through it, dry the exterior parts as well as possible, and then leave the rest to air dry. Shoving her in a dark toy box damp seems like an invitation for the growth of mildew or mold. So my cleaning ritual might make it hard to keep the toy from being discovered by the wife/girlfriend/roommate/mom, if you are concerned with discretion. This cleaning expectation of mine definitely means I am often lazy and fall back on Rosy and her 5 Sisters (i.e., my hand) but when I have the time and want something special in a solo experience, I go for Jenna.
