See all these happy Japanese guys? They're happy because they're holding sex toys. Yes, Tenga are male masturbatory aids, and I'm actually more horrified by the advertisement of smiling Japanese dudes holding them than I am of the toys.
Not that the toys aren't weird. Supposedly, these aren't just the Japanese version of Fleshlights -- Tengashop claims "It is not designed as an artificial vagina...it's far better than that. Rather than make a toy that replicates a woman, tenga went a step further and created [it] to be the best male masturbation aid on the market." First of all, I don't own a masturbatory device, nor do I have any plans to buy one, but if I did, I think I'd want it to be as vagina-like as possible. Right? Or if it weren't, at least I wouldn't brag about it.
Second, what are the goddamn egg ones work? And the fuck is an Egg Spider? Never mind. I don't want to know; besides, I WILL NEVER PUT MY PENIS IN ANYTHING THAT IS CALLED AN EGG SPIDER. If you guys are interested in learning more -- and seeing why these guys have such large smiles on their faces -- head over to Tengashop.com for the full line of goods. (Via Japanator)

Well, If you don't like the idea of an "egg spider" you'll probably won't like the idea of a "prostate bullet" either.

I'm actually more horrified by the advertisement of smiling Japanese dudes holding them than I am of the toys.
Um... how exactly do you think they ought to sell them, then? With pictures of scowling males, angry that the product they're selling doesn't work? Men holding them by their fingertips at arms' length, trying to distance themselves as much as possible from the product they're trying to sell? Men sobbing in horror because masturbation aids freak them out for no clear reason? I should think that showing that these men are happy because they now can super-masturbate would be much more effective.

Given that these "guys" probably won't go for THAT kind of fun, these boner bottles and dick clickers are probably right up their alley.

Now waitaminute, no one (sane) gives women grief about their vibrators; maybe it's about time men got a hand (get it?) with their sexual frustrations. Pretty soon, men and women won't even NEED each other and the world will be a sane and happy place.

I've had some of these. They're intended for one time use, but you can re-use them inside of a few days. The only one that felt good was "hard deepthroat" which feels nothing like deepthroat, but a good feeling nonetheless. A bit small though.

If you're curious about how the eggs work, here's a video (don't worry, totally SFW): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghEfxTKmZKU
As for "wouldn't you want it to be as vagina-like as possible", think about it for a second. Dildos are penislike, but women prefer vibrators. And there are vibrators with a clitoral stimulator. And vibrators with rotating ball bearings under the latex. None of that is entirely penis-like. Instead, it's based on what feels good. And while sure, vaginas feel great, what's to say that they are designed to produce the best possible feeling? I mean, sure, if they were saying "It's not like a vagina, it's like a watch", then I would think "WTF", but what they're clearly going for is "it's got ribs and bumps inside, unlike a vagina...and it doesn't look like a vagina, so you don't get that I'm-humping-an-orifice-that-was-cut-from-a-dead-hooker feeling".

Nah, they look like ladies men (which makes the gap between model and actual consumer all the more amusing). Japanese women go for the "N'Sync" "Backstreet Boys" pretty-boy look more than the "Marcus Phoenix" grizzled muscleman look.

Seriously. The way the Japanese market/design their sex toys might be a little bizarre, but the fact that they have "masturbatory aides" for men is not. We have our own version here. Has no one here, besides me, ever heard of a Fleshlight? I find this much too hard to fathom.

Good grief you guys GET OVER YOURSELVES ALREADY!
People have been using masturbation aids for CENTURIES!
Just because we here in the good 'ole US of A are descendants of some WAY repressed religious sect(s) doesn't mean the rest of the world shares the same attitudes we do about sex and sexuality. CDC says the US has THE highest teen pregnancy rate of ANY industrialized nation! The reason? Real shitty sex education! Masturbation has been PROVEN to be beneficial. Probably wouldn't hurt to actually teach a fact-based (as opposed to in-accurate and FEAR based) sex education program to our young people AND include a bit about MASTURBATION! Now so what if someone comes out with a product that, they claim enhances the experience. Oh and yeah... Anyone here actually tried one? Thought not.
Parting shot... This is a really good website www.sfsi.org
It's the website for San Francisco Sex Information... No hype just HONEST,ACCURATE information about anything related to human sexuality. Proud to say I volunteered with them for over 10 years.

I am a reseller of the tengatoys...and as what the write up has said...it really feels better than the real thing. I have had used the fleshlight b4 but it is like wearing a pair of dish washing gloves where u get stretched and pulled.
Try the fliphole and you will throw all the other male masturbators out of the wardrobe.
I standby Tenga and agree that they have come up with the best masturbation device for men for now!
