Buying a Dildo
Probably the most famous sex toy in the world, dildos can be found in many shapes and sizes. But when it comes to picking out your own dildo, there are several things you’ll want to keep in mind. First, consider what you’ll be using it for (either vaginal or anal play), then look at the material, size, shape and anal-safety. And don’t forget about the lube. A little goes a long way to reduce friction and increase pleasure.
A dildo is a sex toy that can be used alone or with a partner. It is usually curved, and may have multiple holes. Most dildos are designed to stimulate the G-spot, but they can also be used in the anal or vaginal canal. Dildos are made of a variety of materials, including glass, metal, stone, plastic and silicone. Most are body-safe and can be cleaned easily. However, some dildos may be harder to clean, and it is important to follow manufacturer’s recommendations for care.
There are a wide variety of different dildos on the market, and some are more expensive than others. The cheapest dildos are the simplest, shaped like a living penis but without all the details. These are the best choice for beginners.
More complex dildos are often made of stone or bone, and can be more expensive. Some have a double-ended tip. This allows two people to pleasure each other at once and can be especially enjoyable in anal play.
A dildo can also be shaped to look more exotic or playful, such as swords, tentacles or sasquatches. These are popular with women who want to feel the sensation of penetrating their sex organ while playing with something more interesting than their own penis.
Pleasure-based, queer-inclusive sex educator and advocate Lateef Taylor says that the shape of a dildo is often a personal choice and can affect how it feels to be played with. It can be important to think about the gendered or sexuality-neutral qualities of a dildo when choosing one, and to avoid stereotypes.
It is important to remember that dildos should not be used interchangeably in the anal and vagina, as this can cause injury. Anal dildos are typically larger than vaginal dildos, and they should be carefully inserted to avoid damage. Vaginal dildos should be kept clean and dry, and lubed to decrease friction. Water-based lube is typically safe for most dildos, but silicone lube lasts longer and is great for glass or metal toys.
Regular penetrative sex can boost your sexual satisfaction, improve your mood and increase your energy levels, helping you perform better at work or school. It can even help you sleep better at night. In addition, sex has been shown to reduce stress and depression. So, what are you waiting for? Get a dildo and try it out for yourself. Just make sure you have plenty of lube on hand!
