Fleshlight vs Hand: How Do Fleshlights Feel Like?

If you haven’t tried a quality male masturbator like Fleshlight, you surely have a question – how good, realistic is it?

I know, because I had the exact same question. My first experience with male masturbators was a cheap Ebay stroker, and it was disappointing. It took years for me to try another masturbator. And now I regret it.

While I suggest you read the whole guide… My advice is – get one quality Fleshlight, and you’ll never look back.

Fleshlight, Tenga, and Kiiroo masturbators are something completely different than the vagina, hand, or anything else. 

Don’t expect a mind-blowing, ethereal experience, but expect to be pleasantly surprised (def 3x upgraded handjob). 

But read on:

What Does A Fleshlight Feel Like? Does It Feel Like A Real Thing?

As I’ve mentioned, there are many different models of Fleshlights with many different textures designed to give different pleasure experiences.

You can even pair it with a mount or accessory like the ones in this guide for a better experience.

Since you frequently use your favorite Fleshlight in the shower, how about making some upgrades? Do you want to make your bathroom fantasies that much more passionate and steamy?

Well, the Fleshlight Shower Mount is just the right fit, providing an adjustable, suction-based attachment that lets you stick your toy to the bathroom walls safely, having you experience the best sensations you’ll ever have without using your hands.

The Liberator On A Mission Mount delivers the sexual excitement that will make your private sessions unforgettable.

This mount is made of faux leather, suited for both solo masturbation and hands-free use. And for those who prefer to have sex in the missionary position, this accessory provides you with a much-needed sense of dominance to satisfy your inner desires.

However, it does feel amazing and can enhance your solo play quite a lot. 

When you’re not using it, the fleshlight feels wet and cold. It’s kind of sticky and squishy.

The material is very delicate, so you have to be careful with it when you’re handling it. 

It’s not recommended to use a Fleshlight without lube or soaking it in the water first, as it won’t feel good, and you can be disappointed. 

And you want to enhance your solo play experience, not ruin it, right?

Let’s look at how fleshlight feels like, compared with different parts of human flesh:

Fleshlight vs Hand

I’m going to be very honest with you here:

If you’re going to compare the fleshlight with masturbating with your hand, fleshlight wins most of the time. 

While masturbating with your hand is the easiest and quickest way to masturbate, it gets boring very quickly. 

Fleshlight has a lot of different models with unique textures that make masturbation so much more pleasurable. 

It offers bumps, ridges, and bristles that your hand cannot offer you, so if you want a step up from your hand, fleshlight might be the toy for you. 

Any Fleshlight from any collection will be great for you, so go to their website and spend some time getting to know each model. 

What men are saying about Fleshlight vs. hand on Reddit: 

I have the same experience: it’s definitely better than hand. At the least, it will add variety to your masturbation experience.

Just don’t get a cheap knockoff toy – either get a good Fleshlight or stick to the hand.

Fleshlight vs Vagina

Let’s move on to comparing the Fleshlight with a real vagina. 

Here, I’m going to have to disappoint you: 

It does not feel like the real thing. 

Some men say that it does feel as close as a fake thing can come to feel like a real vagina, and it’s all due to their signature SuperSkin material.

However, some men say that it doesn’t come anywhere close to the real vagina. 

So, I guess you’ll have to make your own judgment here. 

To me, however, it does feel close to the real thing – especially when mixed with porn. I can easily convince myself I am having sex with the girl in the video by mimicking the thrusts happening there.

Now, one thing that does feel similar to a real vagina is penetration. 

Every Fleshlight is designed in a way where they all have a slight tightening at the entrance of it so that when you’re penetrating the sleeve, there is a bit of resistance. 

The same thing happens when you’re penetrating the vagina. 

Now, there are a few things you can do to make your fleshlight feel closer to a real vagina:

The easiest way to warm up the sleeve is by leaving it in the warm water and warming the lube the same way. 

Or you can use the Fleshlight Sleeve Warmer with the lube to heat things up a bit more. 

And if you want something that feels realistic, you might want to try the Classic Pink Lady model.

Fleshlight Vs Blowjob

Now, if you want to compare the Fleshlight with a blowjob, I have to say that it can feel pretty similar. 

While no toy or machine out there will ever feel the same as the lips, mouth, and tongue combo in real life, fleshlight can simulate the feeling of the blowjob quite well. 

Fleshlight has a collection called Fleshlight Turbo that has sleeves designed specifically to imitate the feeling of a blowjob. 

So, if you’re looking for something that might replicate a blowjob, I would look into getting a Fleshlight from this collection specifically.

I have written a guide in the past about the Turbo collection here, so do read it to see if it might be right for you.

Fleshlight vs Sex

Similarly, like with the vagina, you can’t really compare fleshlight with sex. 

It’s two very different things, and not only because fleshlight is plastic. 

During sex, there is intimacy with a partner, and more physical movement is involved. 

There is kissing and touching involved that you can’t replicate with a fleshlight. 

However:

While it’s never going to feel just like the real thing, you can do a few things to improve it. 

One of the things is that you can warm up the sleeve and the lube, so it gives that familiar warmth of the real vagina. 

And, you can prop your Fleshlight on a shoe or on your sofa, creating an experience where you have to move your body just like during sex and not only your hand. 

While it’s not going to make it feel like sex, it will improve the overall experience, and it might be a good thing to switch things up from time to time.

Is It OK To Use A Fleshlight?

So, now that you know how Fleshlight feels compared to the real thing, let’s talk about the stigma surrounding it. 

While most of the sex talk is still considered to be taboo even in 2020, it’s way more acceptable for a woman to own a vibrator or a dildo than for a man to own a Fleshlight. 

And it’s a very toxic mindset. 

There is absolutely nothing wrong with men owning and using Fleshlights, so you don’t have to worry about being a ‘creep’. 

There are many benefits that come with using a Fleshlight:

• You can improve your sexual stamina so that you last longer during sex. 
• You can improve your sensitivity issues by using it with a condom.
• You can satisfy your massive sex drive or certain desires if your partner is just not capable or doesn’t have the same drive. 

So, as you can see, there are many benefits of using a fleshlight that can actually improve your sex life. 

There is nothing wrong with men using Fleshlights the same way there is nothing wrong with you using any other sex toy as long as you’re not hurting anyone. 

As for other male sex toys we highly recommend, here are a few options you might want to check out:
