The Fleshlight is a brand of artificial-vagina or artificial anal opening sex-toy.[1]

Use

The Fleshlight is a masturbatory aid, which is used by inserting the penis into its opening.[2]

Product history

The Fleshlight was designed by Steve Shubin, who was granted a patent in July 1998 for his invention,[3] as a "device for discreet sperm collection"[4] and it is marketed by Interactive Life Forms.[5] It is named for the flesh-like material used in its inner sleeve, as well as the plastic case that houses the sleeve, which is fashioned to look like an oversized flashlight. The inner sleeve is available with a vulva, anus or mouth orifice, in colors representing a variety of ethnicities as well as see-through, and 48 different internal textures.[6]

In 2011, the company that manufactures the Fleshlight sent a complimentary package of its products to the members of the SEALs team that killed Osama bin Laden.[7]
