The View From My Knees

Have you ever noticed that little “Safe for work” link on all of my posts? It’s time for me to figure out if this is a valuable part of my site that is worth improving. You can help by answering a couple of small questions:

The Fleshlight at Babeland

I know that you enjoy my sex toy reviews, but there are so many wonderful toys out there that I can’t possibly try them all myself. That’s why I encourage my readers to share their experiences with sex toys by calling in to my podcast, recording audio of their review, or simply sending an email with their thoughts. Reader Saithix was generous enough to send in his review of the famed Fleshlight. Enjoy!

Feel and Texture

Well, what can i say about the Fleshlight other than it looks like a big flashlight. The toy offers an intense and realistic feel, similar to a blowjob and vagina. The butt orifice, however, feels nothing like anal sex because a real anus pushes down on your penis and provides the intensity of a tight squeeze. The vagina orifice does come close to the real vagina, but in order to get a truly real feel you should warm it for about 10 minutes. So if you’re hot and horny and not patient you may have a problem.

After a few uses of this product it does become sticky. The manufacturer tells you to put corn starch on it, but I honestly don’t think you need it because once it is wet you won’t even notice the stickiness. The smell of the product isn’t that potent at first but once it is used a few times it begins to become noticeable. It’s not that bad, though. All i can say is that it’s not a toxic smell like some other toy products have.

Pros

1) Some of the orifices on this product are intense. Certain ones, like the stamina training unit and the forbidden (Fleshlight Girls), are incredible. In fact, they are so good they might make your wife or girlfriend jealous.

2) The Case. It’s always good to hide things from the ones you love such as your wife, kids, or parents. Of course, they just might think you have one big-ass flashlight as long as they don’t look at it for too long.
[Misty disagrees that it's good to hide things from your wife, while begrudgingly acknowledging that not all partners are open to the use of sex toys.]

3) Selection in color, cases, and orifices. We men get bored after a while using the same thing over and over again, and that’s whats good about the Fleshlight. They have many different styles of orifices with different feels. Now that’s something to bargain for! I just wish they would come out with new orifices at least every 6 months to a year.

Cons

1) Takes too long to prepare. I mean who wants to wait 10 minutes for the product to warm up? That’s like getting a cock tease at a strip club and not being able to do anything until you get home.

2) Cleaning up. Cleaning this product is one thing, but not being able to get it dry in the middle inside is a problem. Make sure you have a fan because its gonna be sitting on your bed for a while to dry up.

3) The suction is very weak. I had this thing fully sealed and felt very little suction. This is something they should try to improve on future versions.

Overall Rating: 7 out of 10

Thanks to the Naughty Book Club, I’ve been reading a lot about anal sex lately. I’ve never been a big fan of the subject – although I do it from time to time and even own a butt plug – but the chapter on the subject in Tristan Taormino’s Pucker Up inspired me to give it more thought.

Lucky was away at rehearsal for the evening and I had snuggled up on the couch for some quality reading time. As I learned more about relaxation techniques and prostate stimulation, I grew aroused at the thought of penetrating one of my lovers. And the more I read about all of those nerve endings back there, as well as the possibility of indirect G-spot stimulation, the more my mind kept wandering to my little purple butt plug and how lonely it must be – constantly getting passed over for more traditional dildos and clit stimulators when I go digging through my toy box. By the time I finished the chapter I knew it was time to give some attention to one neglected little toy (and to a neglected part of my sexual anatomy).

As I dug through my basked of toys I decided to select not just one, but a group of toys that would bring me a full range of pleasure. In addition to my butt plug, I also pulled out a glass dildo for my pussy, and the Layaspot vibrator for my clit. Putting the toy basket aside and admiring my three choices, I was eager to get started.

I slid my skirt down, pulled off my shirt and bra, and got comfortable on the bed. For a moment, I considered throwing some porn on the TV, but decided I didn’t want the distraction. I relaxed and closed my eyes, then reached across the bed and grabbed the vibrator. Starting with a nice low setting I gently held the toy against my clit. I could feel my entire body responding to my arousal, from the hardening of my nipples to the moistening of my cunt. It wasn’t long before I was ready for toy number two. Holding the vibrator against my clit with one hand, I grabbed the glass dildo with the other and began to tease my wet hole with its smooth, cold tip. I slowly pressed it through the opening of my vagina and moved it gently in and out. I knew that if I went too fast I’d peak before I ever got to the best part.

Not confident that I could handle three toys at once with any amount of skill, I eventually pulled out the glass dildo and set it aside. It was time. I grabbed the butt plug and managed to squeeze some lube both onto the toy and my fingers while still holding the vibrator against my clit. I slowly traced the opening of my anus with my fingers, leaving a nice trail of lube in their path. Then, I grabbed the toy and gently – so gently – began to press it through the opening of my ass. The smooth silicone plug felt amazing as I pushed each bulbous section into my ass. When it was the all the way in I turned up the power on my vibrator and began gyrating and moaning. The contractions of pleasure in my pussy and ass were so strong that I had to hold the plug in place to keep it from popping out. I used that opportunity to run my finger up and down my crack, really making the most of all of those sensitive nerve endings. Before I even realized it was coming, I felt my entire body tense up and explode in an intense orgasm.

Once I’d caught my breath, I laid in the toys aside and reflected on the exotic range of sensations I’d just experienced. If I could get this worked up after just reading a chapter on anal sex, just imagine how hot I’ll be after reading Tristan’s entire book on the subject. I may have to invest in more toys.
