Male sex toys have been around for 20 years (nothing compared to women’s), yet the stigma around using them is still very taboo.

Sure, horny teenagers find weird holes and gaps to get their rocks off, but you can’t really be playing around like that when you have grown up – by this time you should know what you’re looking for, right?

Unlike those vibrators that massage your body and give you sexual pleasure but still kind of act like a plastic substitute, men’s sex toys are more specific.

Take for example the Fleshlight. Sure it’s kinda humorous, and having a peek might make you kind of squeamish, but there’s a reason it has proven so popular around the world and it’s time we had a little talk about it.

Dangerously close to the real deal and designed with perfect performance in mind, the Fleshlight was created by Steve Shubin back in 1998.

The very first sex toy ever made for men, the sex toy looks like an artificial vagina housed in a torch-shaped casing and will always have a prominent place in the market – after all, it has the most product diversity.

Here’s why:

Fleshlights come in small cases for added tightness, units called ‘STUs’ or stamina training units that can help you last longer in bed, vibrating units that will add extra pleasure onto an already realistic experience, a ‘freak’ range so that you can have sex with Frankenstein, Zombies or Dracula, transparent ice units so that you can see your penis in motion, custom build-your-own units and units modelled off famous porn stars.

But Desir, South Africa’s premium online adult shop, has a small range of them for you to get your hands on and, with 82% of South African men admitting to regular masturbation, it seems like the market is fully prepared to embrace sex toys of this nature.

Here’s more about the Fleshlight before you pop over HERE and order one.

• There are between 48-60 Fleshlight textures that you can choose from, and each will impact how it feels when you use the toy. Male masturbators like these have prompted men to start collections of fleshlights, depending on the feel they are looking for.
• When shopping for a Fleshlight, take note of external design, internal texturing and how the unit must be maintained so that you can clean it correctly and efficiently.
• Most Fleshlight units come with a removable cap that controls the suction of the sex toy, which you can adjust according to your tastes.
• Some Fleshlights work better for smaller penises and some better for larger ones. When choosing male masturbators, check which internal patterns will match your size.
