I've always complained about this double-standard. But I stll have never bought or used a pocket pussy. Cause then I'd be a creepy loser!
I mean even more of one.

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 11 November 2004 17:30 (twenty years ago)

because men are caveman capable of getting pussy anywhere anytime haven't you heard? it's demeaning for men to seek sexual pleasure by other means.

(actually i think dildos are still considered similarly demeaning by many. also i don't imagine pocket pussies work very well. not that i've tried one.)

My all time favorite reaction to the fleshlight was Tep's when Kenan posted it: Kenan, what the hell did you do to your flashlight?

Maybe because dildos/vibrators are commonly used by couples as well?

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 11 November 2004 17:33 (twenty years ago)

I think the technology is still not all it could be. While with dildos/vibrators you have a sort of simple elegance and engineering perfection that just makes good horse sense. There is a certain "pathetic" quality to the travel-vagina that needs working on. Some brave genius who probably isn't even born yet will no doubt unlock the mystery with a key not yet forged in the fires of innovation.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 11 November 2004 17:34 (twenty years ago)

Maybe because we don't want to in any way discourage women from being as sexual as possible?

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 11 November 2004 17:34 (twenty years ago)

i think it has something to do with pocket pussies being percieved as degrading to women, where dildos are not seen as being degrading to men. Men can take that heat, is the assumption, I guess. Pocket pussies, on the other hand, are one icky step away from blow up dolls.

Also, it's very easy for men to masturbate, while women often require more eqipment, just because their stuff is so much more complicated. So a man using something other than his hand is taking an totally unnecessary step, while a woman using a dildo is just masturbating.

Because sand can get in them?

― Nemo (JND), Thursday, 11 November 2004 17:36 (twenty years ago)

The fleshlight isn't even the most demeaning male-sexual product. I think that goes to the vaginas modelled on a specific porn-star.

Because a woman using a dildo/vibrator is hot, and a guy using a "pocket pussy" is not.

That's so horrifying. I mean, it really is not just objectifying the woman, it's cutting her into pieces and *then* objectifying your favorite part.

"Absolutely, except the nose."

what i love about realdoll is that it started out as something much much weirder, originally the hook was you could send in photos of your children and then get a lifesize realistic replica doll of them (what. the. fuck.). the catalogue had all these pictures of children ages 6-13 smiling these warped christian smiles standing next to their identically dressed realdoll. very very scary. moving from that to sex toys (though i'm pretty sure alot of the old models ended up sex toys too) is a huge step toward normalcy.

This is a sleeve for a penis. You put lube in it, insert yourself, and have a good ol' time. And if you pop your head through to the other side, your lady can service it, thus the sensation of being deep-throated is achieved with no gagging!!

bought a fake pussy and then went down on it. Now that would be really bizarro.

Geez Ally, how ELSE am I supposed to practice?

Mango. tastes better.

Seriously condoms are not hard to put on or open. you guys need to smoke out or something before you hit the sack, chill a little. And just start to roll them out a bit before you put them on the member and you'll be able to tell if they're inside out. For extra fun and comfort, squeeze a drop of lube in the tip before putting on (rub it in your fingers a little bit so not so cold.)

A smart investor would create a market for used Real Dolls such that "used" is added value, like with panties and Supergirl capes, turning Real Doll purchase into a profitable activity and eliminating the pressure to commit to any one Real Doll for too long.

This might sound really simplistic compared to some of what's been said already on this thread (and sorry but I haven't read all of it) but: doesn't the cock (prominent, semi-autonomous) sort of "invite" objectification in a way the vagina does not? I mean, not to say the vagina cannot be represented, in either a two-dimensional (e.g. Judy Chicago) or three-dimensional sense, but it is after all more "of a piece" with the body (and thus the person) of which it forms a part: while the penis protrudes from the torso, the vagina is actually part of the torso, and is actually a folding into it. In some ways it seems easier, with a dildo, to "forget" that IRL, this member would be attached to a person (a guy). With the pocket vagina, on the other hand, the structure not only reveals a part of, but "leads you into", the "missing" person. In this way, the fleshlight is not only a starker reminder of what's absent than the dildo, but also seems like a more violent form of objectification (because it excises the torso).

I'm just thinking this off the top of my head, so I may well be completely off the mark.

Why are "pocket pussies" considered so pathetic while dildos aren't?

because you can't beat someone to death in GTA:SA with a fleshlight.

― stevie (stevie), Saturday, 13 November 2004 10:31 (twenty years ago)

I like the term "exquisitely noduled sleeve" on one of the links/images posted above.

Perhaps the reason why "pocket pussies" are considered pathetic etc etc is something to do w/the, uh, physical nature of male masturbation vs female masturbation? TS: mysterious, interesting vs simian, cro-magnon. Or maybe not, I don't know. I don't personally have any problem w/masturbation aids for either sex, except for those things that look like a bit hewn out of a real woman, they make me go ugh a bit. If I found out that any of my irl friends owned a fleshlight or similar, I don't think I'd be that bothered, otoh, if I owned such an item, I'd prob. tell you lot abt it, but not any of my irl friends (wtf? true, though)

The guy who designs the realdoll is, I think a great artist, working in a field that any "conventional" artist who thinks s/he is on the edge in some way would prob. regard as being way beyond the pale. I can't think of any circumstanced under which I'd own one, but in some way, I find it an oddly admirable endeavour. Apart from that anime-looking thing, which is pretty horrid. The other "high end sex doll" ("high end sex doll"!!) that the realdoll is compared to in the website linked to above is horrible, nightmarish. wtf?

I saw the fleshlight on graham norton when we had a tv. the sleeve was long and stretchy. I'm sure if you swung it around your head and beaned someone w/it, it wd be better than the dildo in gte:sa hang on a minute wtf am I thinking about here, argh ffs.
