Fleshlight is a brand of artificial-vagina or artificial anal opening sex-toys. Fleshlight's first and main product is a masturbatory aid, which is used by inserting the penis into its opening.

History
Fleshlight was founded in 1995 by Steve Shubin, the designer of the product which launched in Fall 1997. By February 1998, the company had sold about 11,000 units. In July 1998, Shubin was granted a patent for his invention, as a "device for discreet sperm collection". Fleshlight is marketed by Interactive Life Forms. It is named for the flesh-like material used in its inner sleeve, as well as the plastic case that houses the sleeve, which is fashioned to look like an oversized flashlight. The inner sleeve is available with a vulva, anus or mouth orifice, in colors representing a variety of ethnicities as well as see-through, and 48 different internal textures.

Fleshjack.com was also the winner of the Best Adult Novelties Site–Surfer's Choice at the CyberSocket Awards in 2008.
