Guide to Strap-On Dildos

We have truly entered a new age in sex, an era not seen since the hedonistic delights of the Roman age. Sure, we still have a long way to go to ensure that everybody is able to seek out and enjoy the sexual pleasure they crave and desire, but we are definitely moving in the right direction. This forward momentum is breaking down sexual stereotypes and stigma and turning former taboos into everyday delights.

One of the most significant types of pleasure people are embracing is the exquisite sensations offered by strap-on dildos. Formerly thought to be a toy used just by lesbians, this unbelievable pleasure is being embraced by many for what it is: pure ecstasy! Whoever you are, gay, straight, bi or whatever, strap-on dildos are a fantastic addition to your pleasure chest.

 

What are strap-on dildos?

One of the best things about sex is that we are always looking for ways to adapt and change and make it even better. Because we can always make sex better! Sex doesn’t fit into one perfect little box or style that pleases everybody all of the time, there are a world of possibilities out there for each of us to achieve our most perfect orgasms.

And sometimes, what is needed, is to mix things up a little bit. Now, this might not be so easy if you’re in a long-term, monogamous relationship with a loving partner. But just like for everyone else, you always need to put in a little extra effort to ensure things don’t go stale on the sexual front. Sex toys are a great way to add variety into a couple’s sex life and being able to introduce new and exciting “parts” will surely have both of you moaning with pleasure.

But how do you get different “parts?” That’s easy and awesome! Strap-on dildos are a fantastic way to add a whole new dimension of sexual energy to your bedroom adventures. First you find the perfect harness to accommodate a collection, then you start filling out that collection! Strap-ons are perfect for women to wear to penetrate other women or men, in a variety of delicious ways. And to increase that variety, you can have as many different styles of dildos as you like!

 

How are they different from normal dildos?

Strap-on dildos are designed to work with strap-on harnesses to ensure the whole set fits properly on the wearer. Depending on the harness type, these dildos typically have bases that fit snuggly into the harness or allow the length of the dildo to pass through a hole. It is important to get a good fit with your harness. Slipping out mid-sex can be an awkward or even painful experience!

 

What are they made from?

Strap-on dildos come in a huge variety of sizes, shapes, textures, colours and materials. You will find some made from silicone, jelly, plastic, and even glass and wood. And this is what makes strap-on dildos so great: you can try them all! Along with all of these different materials, which range in hardness, you can find realistic dildos with ridges and veins, textured dildos with bumps, as well as smooth, slick dildos. Many different types to try!

 

What size should I get?

If you and your partner are new to strap-on sex, whether you’re planning to penetrate a woman vaginally or a man or woman anally, it is wise to start off with a smaller strap-on dildo. Sure, you’re going to be mimicking regular sex, but a dildo doesn’t have the same sensation that a penis does to detect potential pain from being too big. As you slide into your partner, you need to be aware of what they are feeling. Strap-on dildos are fantastic, but the harder they are, the easier it is to poke a little hard. Also, if your partner hasn’t experienced this type of sex, they need to get used to new sensations. But this is the great thing about strap-on dildos - once you get used to one, you can move on to a bigger toy for your harness!

 

How can I use strap-on dildos?

There are two keys to using strap-on dildos - fit and lube. As mentioned before, you need to ensure your harness is fitting snuggly, with the dildo positioned just right and firmly in place. Once the toy is ready and on, it is time to have fun! Part of the great fun of strap-on dildos is the opportunity to really play with them. They don’t just have to be for penetration! Turn both of you on by asking your partner to give you a sexy blowjob show with your new cock. It will drive both of you wild!

When it is time to move on to sexytime, let’s remember the second key to strap-on dildos: lube. Even if you are using your strap-on dildo on a woman, it is highly recommended you use extra lube. Anytime you use a non-flesh item in a vagina, it can dry out more quickly. And, of course, if you’re using the toy in someone’s bum, lube is essential.

If you’re new to these toys, ensure you take your time and be patient, particularly with anal penetration. Talk with your partner throughout the experience and ask if they feel good or uncomfortable. When you’re starting out, it is a good idea to lie on your back and let your partner control the penetration from above as they ride you. This allows them to get a good feeling for the toy. Once you have mastered your techniques, it just might be time to try a different, brand-new strap-on dildo! Variety is the spice of your sex life!
