Interesting user name.

So, I don’t use that kind of thing myself. Too much hassle, and expense, for my taste.

However, I know guys that do, and know them well enough to talk about this kind of thing. General consensus is that good toys really can reduce or eliminate the problems caused by death grip. Fleshlight is a reputable brand, and they are supposedly durable as well as providing a pleasant experience. Clones/knockoffs exist though, and the only complaint I’ve heard is that they don’t last as long before developing tears and cracks. So, if you wanted to try on out with minimum investment, you can just look for whatever’s cheapest and see if it helps.

Fwiw though, death grip is remediable without a toy. It just takes longer because the toy provides a similar intensity of sensation without the same pressure and friction. But I’ve never met anyone that took much longer than a month to at least reduce their death grip dependence without toys. Well, unless they had severe keratinization issues, but that’s a medical thing separate from death grip itself.

For anyone curious, keratinization occurs when, after circumcision, the head of the penis develops a type of callus, reducing sensation and potentially causing other problems. It’s also why some circumcised men develop a death grip in the first place.
