Now, if my husband and I were parents, I would consider this a great Dad's day gift for him :-)

Man what a bunch of killjoys. It's HIS DAY!

"Don't want anymore brothers or sisters? Well, give him the gift that stops him giving you more siblings! Buy him the Fleshlight today!"

If I had a dime for all the unopened Fleshlights stacked in my closet that I got for Father's Day, I'd be a rich man.

I might buy one for my Daddy, but never for my father.

I've just sent one to Anthony Weiner, along with a campaign contribution from gusPAC and a request that he use it to make a thank you video for all us supporters.

I would assume Mom would have a thing or two to say about this.

Ew.

I had a dildo bouquet delivered to my mom for Mother's Day, so this seems like a good idea for dad.

no, no, no - certainly not. from one member of a parenting couple to another, okay, but definitely not to one's own parent! yikes.

You're all missing the most obvious problem here: This should be a mother's day gift.

After 235 years America's Puritanical roots are alive and well. Your dad is a grown-ass man. Probably an OLD man. If you love him and it'll make him even a little bit happy, let him cum into a plastic fucking cup in the privacy of his own home, or theme park of choice.

Your presence here is a direct result of his load, and if it's a family of choice, SOMEONE'S load.

Buy a dad a lap dance and he will get off for a few minutes. Buy a dad a fleshlight and he will get off forever. -Chinese proverb

Lalalalalala. I can't hear you. I was born of immaculate conception. My parent have never, ever, ever had sex. The very thought of my parents doing sexy things is utterly repulsive. Please never speak of it again.

Now I have to go bleach my brain.

Posted by Reverse Polarity on June 6, 2011 at 4:06 PM

My dad no. Your dad, yes.

Posted by Oooooh, burn on June 6, 2011 at 4:11 PM

I don't see what the problem is.

Too this day, my Mom just buys something and slaps my name on it.

Posted by Best Son... EVAH! on June 6, 2011 at 4:35 PM

I bet your dad already has two

Posted by theInvisibleDick on June 6, 2011 at 4:43 PM

Man, what would be creepier: Giving a gift like this to your dad? Or using a gift like this that was given to you by your kid?

Posted by jzimbert on June 6, 2011 at 4:55 PM

That's like giving my mom, who's now a recent widow, a vibrator for her birthday or Mother's Day. I don't think I could do it BUT as a good gay son, I'd give her a basket with a gift certificate to Babeland tucked inside and let her do her thing.

Give your dad a gift certificate to purchase a Fleshlight if he chooses to do so rather than just physically handing him a fleshlight.

A good way to alienate the old folks forever.

Thanks for the recommend!

I once got rid of a boyfriend's couple of patronizing, pretentious friends by convincing him we should give them a vibrator as a wedding gift.

("Oh he's an athlete, they can use it for sore muscles.")

But of course that was back in the '70s before vibrator ads were on TV, and believe it or not, were not commonly given as shower gifts.

Probably wouldn't work for alienating any but Fundamentalist Christian bridal couples now, and maybe not even them.

Sorry, I already got my dad a gift.

My dad has a fleshlight already. Her name is Kathy.

Posted by monkey on June 6, 2011 at 8:05 PM

Depends on whether fleshlights can double as dildos. a his/her package!

Posted by Drew2u on June 6, 2011 at 8:13 PM

A Fleshlight is a fine Father's Day gift... assuming that the giver is not one of the recipient's kids. Because that's just... Ick!

you left out "ick!" as an answer

Posted by Chrstphr on June 7, 2011 at 5:30 AM

I'm only speaking for myself,but I wouldn't simply b/c I know my dad and his standards about where he stands on moral issues and such. But I want it and I want Riley Steele's Fleshlight ;)
