Holy molly! Forget everything you think you know about automatic strokers, because this isn't something you can just say "yes, it's great!" or "no, it's bullshit." It seriously requires you to start thinking. The Fleshlight – Universal Launch Stroking Simulator looks anything but sexy, but boy what a thrill!
The Universal Launch is an automated machine that you use in conjunction with a Fleshlight or Fleshjack. You just place your favorite in the holder and get to work. I myself tested it with the 'Fleshlight - GO Torque' and the 'Fleshjack Boys - Reno Gold Golden Boy'.
First impression
Yes, he's big. Don't be mistaken about that. The box it arrived in was quite bulky and I was starting to feel a wee bit apprehensive. Where should I store it? Fortunately, this was quickly resolved. Anyway, as far as the packaging is concerned, the Universal Launch is simply tastefully packaged. There are no naked people on the side and it's just a white box with images of Fleshlights, the Universal Launch and some USPs. Inside, the device is held in place with a foam cushion and you will find the charging cable and a number of parts, including a universal smartphone holder. Very useful if, for example, you want to watch a 'nature film' while using it.
To me, the Universal Launch looks a bit like something out of a science fiction movie. When you hold it by the handles it almost feels like you are operating a spaceship. Visually it's quite imposing and a bit intimidating, but you forget that once you've experienced its abilities. Before I started using the Universal Launch I charged it for a while, I can't remember how long it took, but I did need some patience. My enthusiasm was great and that made it feel like it took even longer of course.
To my surprise, the Universal Launch was surprisingly light, without a Fleshlight/Fleshjack. For such a large device I expected more weight, but that was not too bad! It is also easy to hold and to operate just the same. All buttons are literally within reach and the options are endless. After playing with the buttons for a while, you will automatically arrive at your favorite position and speed. In total you can achieve 250 movements per minute and that is, in my opinion, quite intense at times. In any case, it has enough options for all types of masturbation sessions.
In use
After charging and playing with all the buttons, it was time to really get started. I placed my Fleshjack in the holder and clamped it tight. You do this by placing the Universal Launch on its back and putting pressure on the sides of the mechanism. After a lot of fumbling I found out that it is easiest if you hold one of the catches up while clamping. If you've got the knack for it, it's almost self-evident, but be sure to take the time to properly attach your Fleshlight/Fleshjack. Getting loose during a masturbation session is not necessarily very nice, I learned this the hard way.
I also attached the smartphone holder to the top of the Universal Launch and grabbed one of my favorite videos. Smartphone in, generous amount of lubricant in the Fleshjack and it was off! The buttons are in exactly the right place, on top of the handle, which you already use. The on/off button is on the right side, but you don't actually use it while masturbating. At your right hand is the button for the speed, at your left hand for the positions and on the left side is the positioning button. So many buttons, but as a man I just like this. The positioning button is fantastic if you're a little bigger, because it puts your Fleshlight/Fleshjack a little higher (or lower) in the Universal Launch.
When you press and hold the on/off button, the Universal Launch is in its home position. If you press the button again, it will start moving up and down. Now you can get started with all options and speeds. Everything from normal, soft to 'HOLY CRAP' (aka 250 movements per minute). You could even use the Universal Launch standing up if you wanted to, but I personally prefer it on the couch or bed. But the operation is very simple and I wanted to make that clear. The left button moves it up and down and the length of the movement is increased or decreased.
I'd recommend starting slowly, as this is the best (and most painless) way to determine if you've used enough lube. Once I got used to the sensations, I experimented with the actual length of the movements to determine what felt best. Once I knew what I liked best, I could think about increasing the speed and the Universal Launch has some speed to say the least. It has on point a lot of strength in yourself!
So much power that I noticed that I had to apply some lubricant a little more often than when I just started working manually with a Fleshlight / Fleshjack. Therefore, keep the lubricant at hand, because a painful experience due to friction burns is easily created if you use too little lubricant. The sensation of the Universal Launch is really close to my favorite style of masturbation, but completely automatic. Every time I reach an orgasm that miraculously feels completely different than taking matters into my own hands. I ended up in a total trans because I don't have to do anything myself and the Universal Launch takes all the work off my hands, it's almost meditation. It also makes very little noise in terms of sound. Okay, a little bit, but for such an imposing item as the Universal Launch, I was really impressed.
The car wash and garage
The great thing about this Fleshlight product is that it only needs a damp cloth to be wiped off. Think about the handles and maybe the underside if some lube has leaked. Please note that the device is not waterproof, so do not soak it or take it with you in the bath or shower. Where did I store it now? Well, just in the wardrobe in his foam pad. This seemed the most convenient to me instead of in the box or loose somewhere.
My overall opinion is…
Holy crap, what an experience and sensation. Long story above, but here's a quick summary: The Universal Launch works perfectly with whatever Fleshlight/Fleshjack you can think of. There are plenty of options and it really works perfectly, but it's not necessarily always inferior to what you could do with your own hands. However, I do enjoy sitting back lazily and without having to do anything for it. The possibilities are endless and every time I am surprised by the positions. From gentle edging to its top speed of 250 movements per minute. It really is a product for people who love gadgets and buttons. The operation takes some getting used to and it is certainly not discreet, but you forget that very quickly. If you own a lot of Fleshlights/Fleshjacks, the options are quite interesting. Or if you're ready for a next-level masturbation experience, this is definitely for you.
