What It's Like To Masturbate With A FiFi Fleshlight Sex Toy For Men

When it comes to masturbation, the power is in your hands. And I don't know about you, but my hands are very generous lovers.

However, Handgelina Jolie and I seem to have lost our spark lately. What started as a torrid, whirlwind affair of lust and passion has devolved over the years into something more of dutiful routine.

Relationships, am I right?

That's why, when we received a Fifi in the YourTango office, I suddenly knew why so many people signed up on Ashley Madison. I was going to cheat on my hand.

The easiest way to describe Fifi is to say that it's a fleshlight with disposable sleeves. You put your penis in it, certain biological processes take place, and then you throw away the evidence. (That probably won't be a box quote, I'm guessing.)

It aims to solve the main concern with male sex toys: clean-up.

The tagline for FiFi is: "It's better than your hand." I find that to be the most concise and accurate assessment. It won't replace my girlfriend anytime soon, but it's certainly better than old reliable.

And while I enjoyed using it to work on my solo project, we also had fun as a threesome. A seemingly infinite number of sex advice columns will tell you that bringing toys into the bedroom can help spice things up. Usually they fall into two categories: things that go in one of you, or things that hurt one of you a little (and sometimes both).

But using FiFi together was an exciting change of pace that gave us another option in the bedroom. Easy for me to say, I suppose, since it's designed for me — but my girlfriend was all about it as well.

As a baseline assessment, it made masturbation a bit more fun and introduced a new wrinkle to our bedroom activities. Not bad for the $16 price tag!

The downside is that it just replaces one problem with another. You're trading cleanup for disposable sleeves ... that you have to pay for. Every time you want some "me" time, you're essentially paying a $1 surcharge.

That could add up real quick. I mean, not that I'd know or anything. Just based on what I've heard through friends, of course.

But as with most things in life, you get what you pay for. At least with the introduction of Fifi, you get to pick your poison and decide whether paying for the sleeves is worth not dealing with the cleanup aspect of other options.

And speaking of options, they even have a camouflage FiFi available on their site, which is for ... combat scenarios, I guess? I'm not sure I want to meet the guy who's hiding in the woods practicing tactical masturbation.
