Tracey Cox Supersex Stroker
This was my first ever stroker. I used it alone and I have to say, I’m not sure it’s my kind of toy. As pleasant as the feeling was, a big part of me thought, “is this really any better than using my hand?”.
The upside is that it’s versatile, easy to clean and even easier to use. Both textures feel quite nice and I imagine when used by a couple it’d be far better.
The downside, though, is that without a realistic feel like that offered by a Fleshlight, I’m not sure I get the point of a masturbator like this. It’s a cute little thing but it’s not exactly erotic to look at like a realistic fake vagina might be. And while the feeling of the sleeve is nice, I wouldn’t say it feels so good that it justifies the fuss of having to use lube and clean up after etc. After all, if there’s one thing I have mastered in my lifetime thus far, it’s the skill of masturbating successfully without the need for any bells and whistles. For me a toy should take you to a new level entirely or it’s not really worth it. This didn’t even get close to doing that.
Considering the price, though, I’m not overly disappointed. To paraphrase Woody Allen, “even my worst orgasm was right on the money”. It’s just not a toy I’ll be rushing to use again. My right hand, I’m afraid, remains ten times the Super Stroker this could ever be.
Overall Rating: 5 out of 10 stars
Pros: Choice of texture, brilliantly easy to clean.
Cons: Not sexy to look at, not a game-changer.
Bottom Line: For solo use, probably not worth the fuss.

Jenna Haze Fleshlight
What I’ve always believed about sex toys, especially the more expensive ones, is that to justify the expense and effort they often demand, they need to take things to a new level. And so with male masturbators I’ve always been extra sceptical. For the most part they’re less effective than your hand, and yet they still have the nerve to demand more in terms of storage and clean-up. It’s a trade-off that has never seemed worth making. Thanks to the Fleshlight, though, I think my attitude towards male masturbators has now changed forever.
Using the Fleshlight for the first time is what I imagine women must experience the first time they use a vibrator (or at least as close as we can get to that). It’s masturbation as you know it, but on a whole new level. A toy that not only enhances your experience, but creates a new one; something much closer to sex than most male masturbators could ever dream of. Warm it up, lube it up and go: whether you choose to use it with your hand or, as I do, by securing it somewhere and thrusting into it, you’re sure to have a good experience.
The only downside I’ve noticed is that, although cleaning is very simple (remove sleeve, run water through it), drying can be a little laborious - especially if you’re not in a position to leave your Fleshlight out where it can be seen. Air drying probably works best, but if you’re eager to put it away quickly, you can use a towel or handkerchief to get into the different folds and it should be fine.
Overall, I couldn’t be happier with it. And while I can’t speak about how the Lotus sleeve compares with other Fleshlight models, I can say I’m now very curious to find out. If other Fleshlight products feel as good as this, it’s no wonder they’ve become the world’s most popular male sex toy.
Overall Rating: 10 out of 10 stars
Pros: It’s such a distinct, but equally fantastic, sensation from normal masturbation.
Cons: Drying’s not the easiest if you need to be discreet.
Bottom Line: Far beyond what I’d imagined. An excellent toy well worth the investment.
