I checked this this topic right before bed, and man I gotta say this is some interesting shit, and we're still on the first page lmao. I can't even start commenting on the other posts rn, will have to do that later. Alright so for me.
I bought about 7 Fleshlights from the Fleshlight website years ago with cases during a sale cause I had wanted to know what it was like to use one and thought this would be the best time to go all in and get some, and have some to last for years to come. (Was fresh past 21 or so I think) Cost about 400 bucks in total, for the cases, lube, fleshlight heating stand and all. To this day, I think I've maybe used all of them about a total of 20-30 times, max. That's about 8 years now that I've had them. One of them I've never used at all, still unopened in the original packaging.
As for the reason why? It's quite simple actually. It feels like it's more work trying to prep and use one. I have to wait for one to get heated up. Then I gotta lube it up and go at it. When done, there's the need for a thorough cleaning, and you can't just rinse it out. Nope, can't use soap and water either. Gotta use either their cleaning spray, or isopryl alcohol of a high enough concentration and rinse it through and the outside of the toy, and the container its in then run through with water for several seconds... And if you have a Fleshlight with all the extra stuff inside, like rivets and bumps and grooves, then its even more attention demanding cause you gotta make sure you get it all cleaned out. THEN you can't just toss it in a drawer. You gotta hang it up to drip dry for a few hours, or shove some towels in it and let it fully dry out before you store it back in the newly cleaned and dry case. And for the more packed ones, they're known to take a DAY or longer before being considered clear for storage.
I don't know about most guys, but for me, I don't have a feeling in advance like "Today's gonna be a fap day". It just hits me as I'm doing stuff or interacting with people, and can go away just as fast if I don't try to stay in the mindset/mood. So for me, I (ironically) find it so much more convenient to just use more conventional methods cause its easier to clean after, it's a HELL of a lot faster in the end, and the wait time is basically negligble. I shake my head every time I think about it too. What a waste.
OH! and wait there's more.
So I recently bought a Lovense Max 2 a couple months back, thinking it would be great to use with some of the erp partners I have on IMVU/Discord etc. I've used it, give a guess. I'll wait...
Yep. ONE TIME. And it was by myself. The damn thing just sits in my drawer all the time and I don't even consider or think about using it. Honestly don't know why I got so caught up into the hype and idea of using it for LDR sex and the like, knowing how I am about the flesh lights in genral, but ya... Major sadness in hindsight. Shoulda went to Spencers and got one of those shower water activated shower strokers that is low maintenance lmao.
For those who don't know, Lovense has this really neat thing for their sex toys where some of them can be controlled remotely via their app, using bluetooth. And if you give the code to someone, they can control your toy from miles away, literally across the world. And some of the sex toys, like the Max2 and the toy they have for women (forgot the name) can actually sorta like pair together, so that the intensity of what each toy is giving off is replicated to the other paired toy (i.e the harder and faster a guy is thrusting into the Max 2, the more powerful and intense the feeling that is felt by the woman using the female lovense toy, which is known as Nora for those who are wondering)
But yeaaaaaa, pretty sure someone people out there should be shocked by that
