AUSTIN, Texas—The world’s No. 1 selling male sex toy company Fleshlight is prominently featured in this month’s edition of Redbook magazine. Titled “The Real Deal About Sex After Kids,” the Redbook article discusses how to get back in the bed with your mate after having a baby.
Redbook journalist Amy Sohn contacted Fleshlight owner and founder Steve Shubin and his wife for their perspective on the topic.
“Sex wasn't even an option for us; my wife had a high-risk pregnancy, and her obstetrician told us no intercourse for the whole nine months,” Shubin said.
So, to get him through, Shubin, a former cop, decided to design a toy that would simulate sex.
"My wife was supportive," he said. "Her only condition was that I get rid of it when she was able to have sex regularly again."
This is where the Fleshlight was born. A flashlight device filled with a skin-like material intended to generate sexual gratification using a true likeness of a woman’s private parts. It has since generated $200 million in sales and has sold almost 4 million units.
