The Fleshlight is one of the best-known male sex toys, designed to emulate the sensation of various sexual acts for masturbation purposes. The fleshlight gains its name from the flesh-like material used in its design, and from the plastic case that looks like a flashlight. Several inserts, including vagina, mouth, and anus-shaped holes, can be chosen from.

The Fleshlight was designed by a former police officer who was looking for a means to overcome a period of forced abstinence while his wife was pregnant. It received a patent in 1998 as a "device for discreet sperm collection".

In a humorous 2002 essay describing a Fleshlight "test drive", on-line sex journal Nerve.com called it the "ultimate faux vagina". The Nerve.com reviewer noted problems with lubricant leakage, but admitted that "this thing feels like getting a blow job — only no teeth." .

Anne Semans included an illustrated guide to the usage of the Fleshlight, which she calls "the most popular sleeve on the market today", in her 2004 book, The Many Joys of Sex Toys. She recommends heating and prepping the device with adequate lubrication before use. She also suggests a number of variations including clamping the Fleshlight to a desk in order to free the hands, or adding extra stimulation by simultaneously using a butt plug, cock ring or nipple clamps. According to Semans, "it takes a few sessions with the Fleshlight to appreciate it". For post-use cleaning, Semans advises air drying and dusting with corn starch.

Other writers have pointed to shortcomings with the product. In their Sex Toy book, writers Em & Lo include an entry for Fleshlight - the "king of masturbation sleeves" - but indicate that some may find the casing "heavy, unwieldy and too wide", noting that "you can't squeeze the casing to increase the pressure around your dick".

An interactive version of the Fleshlight that can be remotely transmitted via the Internet was launched in 2004. The device claims to work by converting thrust force and speed into vibration and pulse on the receiving end. In its review entitled "Ins and Outs of Teledildonics", Wired News wrote that "the Interactive Fleshlight is where it's at...a man can be thrusting in Cleveland while a woman is penetrated in Seattle, and the cybersex experience gets one step closer to the holodeck."
