The Fleshlight and its more recent upstart rival the Tenga Flip Hole have been waging war for the last two years in the battle to be crowned the world’s number 1 male sex toy.  It’s been a fierce battle, and Fleshlight have not been willing to give up their undisputed crown easily.  Male masturbator fans seem evenly split on this one.  Fleshlight fans point to the amazing realism of their favourite sex toy, the wide variety of exchangable inner sleeves, the tried and tested durability of a Fleshlight…Tenga Flip Hole adherents say that their joy toy has improved upon the Fleshlight, and point to the unique variety of intense vaccum induced sensations that the Flip can produce at the touch of a button.

But now the war between Fleshlight and Tenga has become very serious indeed.  The makers of the legendary Fleshlight have taken the Japanese sex toy company Tenga to court over alleged patent infringements.  Fleshlight executive Vice President Brian Shubin claims that :

“There are about six, and as many as eight, products that are in violation of at least one of our patents…Each company that’s named in this is in one way violating a patent or trademark.”

This is interesting, if a little sad.  Whether or not Tenga have copied the Fleshlight in any way, it’s undeniable that their toys incorporate groundbreaking features that could in no way have come from the Fleshlight.  I’m not sure what a guilty verdict would mean.  Would it be the end of Tenga eggs and even the Flip Hole???  I hope sincerely not, but if you haven’t already bought the Flip, perhaps you should hurry up.
