Dildos

Exploring Different Types of Dildos

There is a vast array of dildo types to choose from, catering to different preferences and uses:

Material

Dildo materials impact the toy’s firmness, finish, care instructions, and lubricant compatibility. The most common materials for dildos include silicone, metal, and glass.

Glass and metal dildos are hard, allowing you to apply firm pressure to your hot spots, while silicone dildos have more give and flexibility.
Silicone dildos tend to have a soft, velvety finish, whereas metal and glass dildos are extra smooth and cool to the touch.
Metal and glass dildos are compatible with all lubricant formulas, while silicone dildos should only be paired with water-based or hybrid lubricants.

Functions and Features

Dildos have evolved significantly from their basic designs. Modern dildos offer a wealth of features to enhance pleasure. Thrusting dildos and those with suction cup bases are ideal for hands-free play, while vibrating dildos are perfect for those who enjoy rumbly stimulation. The best features for you will depend on your personal preferences.

Size

Choosing the right size is important. Huge dildos offer expansive stretch and reach, but they might not be suitable for beginners. Starting with a small-to-medium-sized toy is advisable for first-timers, with the option to size up later. Inflatable dildos are also a versatile choice, offering a range of sizes in one toy.

Methods of Use for Dildos

Though very operable by hand, dildos have plenty of methods of use! Dildos often come with a suction cup, which allows the toy to be mounted to a flat surface like the shower wall or floor to be ridden, humped, or grinded upon! This base also usually allows the dildo to be harness compatible, mounted to a strap-on harness through an O-ring, and used to penetrate a partner as if it was your own penis! Other features that make a dildo harness compatible include a flared base, or a unique mounting system built for a specific harness.

Another method for strap-on sex that is, oxymoronically, not mounted at all, is the strapless strap-on. These dildos have a bulbous extension that inserts vaginally into the wearer so they can experience their own penetrative pleasure while penetrating their partner. Another means of sharing a dildo is the double-ended dildo. These dildos have no base, with a head on either side, for two partners to penetrate at once for a more intimate experience. Double-sided dildos are also usually flexible enough for solo double-penetration.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dildos

How to Use a Suction Cup Dildo

Choose a Surface: Select a clean, flat, non-porous surface such as a shower wall, tiled floor, or a smooth table. Ensure the surface is dry to achieve a strong suction.

Attach the Dildo: Press the suction cup base firmly against the chosen surface, ensuring there are no air bubbles between the base and the surface. Test the stability by giving it a gentle tug.

Prepare Yourself: Apply a generous amount of water-based or compatible lubricant to the dildo and to yourself. This will ensure smooth and comfortable penetration.

Get into Position: Find a comfortable position that allows you to control the angle and depth of penetration. Common positions include standing, squatting, or lying down with the dildo attached to a vertical or horizontal surface.

Start Slowly: Begin with slow and gentle movements to get used to the sensation. Gradually increase the speed and intensity as you become more comfortable.

Experiment with Angles: Adjust your body angle and movements to find the most pleasurable spots. The suction cup allows for hands-free play, so take advantage of this by using your hands for additional stimulation if desired.

Clean Up: After use, carefully detach the dildo from the surface, wash it with mild soap and warm water, or use a sex toy cleaner. Allow it to dry completely before storing.

How to Ride a Dildo

Choose the Right Dildo: Select a dildo with a sturdy base or suction cup that can support your movements. Ensure it is the appropriate size and material for your comfort.

Prepare the Dildo: Apply a generous amount of water-based or compatible lubricant to the dildo. This will reduce friction and enhance comfort during use.

Find a Stable Surface: Place the dildo on a stable surface, such as a flat floor, chair, or bed. Ensure it is secure and won’t move around during use.

Position Yourself: Straddle the dildo in a comfortable position. You can start in a kneeling position with the dildo between your legs, or sit on it with your legs spread apart.

Start Slowly: Gently lower yourself onto the dildo, allowing it to penetrate slowly. Move your hips in a back-and-forth or up-and-down motion to control the depth and pace of penetration.

Experiment with Movements: Try different movements and angles to find what feels best. Rocking, grinding, or bouncing can provide varied sensations. Use your hands for additional stimulation if desired.

Adjust Speed and Intensity: As you become more comfortable, you can increase the speed and intensity of your movements. Listen to your body and adjust accordingly to maintain comfort and pleasure.

Clean Up: After use, carefully remove the dildo and wash it with mild soap and warm water, or use a sex toy cleaner. Allow it to dry completely before storing.

How to Use a Dildo for Men

Choose the Right Dildo: Select a dildo designed for anal use, often referred to as a prostate or P-spot dildo. Ensure it has a flared base to prevent accidental full insertion.

Prepare Yourself: Relax and take your time to get comfortable. Use a generous amount of water-based or compatible lubricant on both the dildo and your anus. This will make insertion smoother and more comfortable.

Find a Comfortable Position: Positions that allow easy access and control include lying on your back with your legs raised, on your side with one leg lifted, or on all fours.

Start Slowly: Gently insert the dildo, starting with the tip and gradually working your way in. Breathe deeply and relax your muscles to ease the process.

Control the Depth and Angle: Once inserted, move the dildo in and out slowly, adjusting the angle to find your prostate. The prostate is located a few inches inside the anus towards the front (belly) side of the body.

Experiment with Movements: Try different movements, such as rocking, circling, or thrusting, to stimulate the prostate and enhance pleasure. You can also use a vibrating dildo for added sensation.

Combine Stimulation: Use your hands to stimulate other erogenous zones, such as the penis, perineum, or nipples, for a more intense experience.
