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.. 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."
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.
