There’s much ado about men using sex toys<\/a>. There\u2019s apparently a double standard here: why is it cool for women but it\u2019s not for men? <\/p>\n

Because there\u2019s too much fleshlight-shaming around, we decided to clear up a few misconceptions about this toy.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s a fleshlight?<\/h3>\n

In case you\u2019ve under been under the rock all these years, the Fleshlight is a brand of sex toy that simulates a vagina or an arse. The original design was actually a 10-inch tube casing made of plastic with a soft sleeve inside. One basically fucks the tube and when you come, you can clean it out by unscrewing the whole toy and rinsing it with water.<\/p>\n

These days though, the design and material have gone a long way. It\u2019s now usually manufactured with polymers, like PVC and silicone. It makes for a softer and skin-like texture. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s also now known as a \u201cfleshlight\u201d- emphasis on the small caps. Yup, the original brand Fleshlight is still around but because other competitors came out with their own versions, the market got flooded with the same product and the people began to refer to all of them as fleshlights.<\/p>\n

In recent years though, more men are using fleshlights. In a poll by a British tabloid<\/a>, the number of British men using the fleshlight has more than doubled since 2018. That\u2019s certainly good news for the sex toy industry. <\/p>\n

Why are they becoming popular?<\/h3>\n

For Shubin, the inventor of the sex toy, it\u2019s all about the convenience and the discreetness of the design. In an interview with Men\u2019s Health<\/a>, he said that \u201cthe design appeals to the user\u2019s desires without making them pervy.\u201d<\/p>\n

He explained it further: \u201cGuys are very visual, so you get stimulated by what you\u2019re looking at. But all it\u2019s doing is feeding the fantasy that\u2019s in the brain\u2026, So if you watch yourself going in and out, and the material pulls and moves the same way as the female anatomy would move, … together they feed the fantasy without interfering in any way.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Reddit<\/a>, those who\u2019ve used it generally like its usefulness. A member who goes by the name fergie232 says that \u201cit feels good (and) much better than choking the chicken conventionally.\u201d<\/p>\n

User kairon156 agrees. \u201cIt feels amazing. Personally, I only use it once or twice a week for several reasons, one big reason is to give my 4skin time to roll back to normal for a while.\u201d, he posted.<\/p>\n

Is it good for your sexual health?<\/h3>\n

More than the tactile experience however, there are certain benefits to regularly using a fleshlight.<\/p>\n

For one thing, you can use it to increase your sexual stamina<\/a>. One particular toy model allows you to practice controlling your orgasm without the added stress of satisfying a woman. <\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also be able to practice your thrusting styles. You can find out which style will cause a sensation overload and which one you can keep doing for longer. All in all, this will result to stronger orgasms for you.<\/p>\n

Try Live Touch<\/h3>\n

Here at Cam4, you\u2019ll find that fleshlights can actually make your cam-viewing experience even more intimate and mindblowing.<\/p>\n

Live Touch is our own tipping mode that is way hotter and more interactive than regular tipping. With Live Touch<\/a>, you\u00a0can now connect your\u00a0BlueTooth sex toys directly to CAM4 while broadcasting. To see which fleshlight will work with this mode, check out this page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
