Most men think of sex toys as something to be used with a partner, and they are.  The right accessories can turn an otherwise routine sexual experience into something magical, and not in the cheesy Doug Henning kind of way.  But what about sex toys exclusively made for men, to be used alone.   I can read your mind already…isn’t that called “a hand”?

Well, yes and no.  Sure, we all use the tools that we have available, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t opt for something better when it comes along.    Case in point, the Fleshlight.  If you’ve watched any internet porn in the last year or two, you’ve probably seen this item advertised.  It’s become very popular, and for good reason.  Also known as a “pocket pussy”, the fleshlight simulates a vagina and, compared to your hand, offers a much more realistic experience for when you want to get off but don’t necessarily feel like the dinner before or the obligatory conversation after.   That’s no slight on the fairer sex.  We all want some time alone and women are no different.  They have toys for those solo nights, so why shouldn’t we?

One of the more recent popular trends within the adult film industry has been pornography made for women.  What separates pornography for women from regular pornography, you ask?   According to a quote from Stern Magazine in reference to well received fem-porn films produced by Lars Von Trier’s production company Zentropa, “Women too like to see other people having sex. What they don’t like is the endless close-ups of hammering body parts without a story.”  Seems simple, doesn’t it.  And yet, this is a concept few men consider when it comes to sex with their partner.  To most women, the trip is as or more important than the destination.
