Is a manual or automatic masturbator better?
Honestly, they're both great, it's really about personal preference. Fleshlight and other strokers made of real-feel material tend to feel closer to sex with a partner than automatic or motorised masturbators. On the other hand, motorised strokers have vibrating, thrusting and suction options that add another dimension to pleasure.
One thing to consider is sound - automatic masturbators produce a substantial amount of noise, so if you need to be discreet, get an unpowered stroker instead.
