What You Need to Know About Dildos

Mention adult toys and one of the first things to come to mind is probably the ever reliable dildo. Anyone with a genuine interest in sex toys probably has one or more of these tucked away. Some enthusiasts own an impressive collection of sizes, shapes, and colors to match every mood and desire. Let’s take a closer look at this popular sex toy and see what makes it such a favorite.

Dildos are objects intended for insertion into the vagina or rectum. They work equally well for solitary play or couples play. Although you may think this toy is specifically for women, that’s not really true. Both men and women may enjoy using a dildo for anal penetration. Some couples like to reverse roles with the woman using a dildo on her male partner.

Dildos are often, but not necessarily, shaped like a penis. Some individual appreciate a highly realistic toy. For them, an ultra-detailed silicone model complete with veins and accurately shaped penis head might be just perfect. Other people prefer a dildo that is more abstract in shape and color, and there are plenty of these on the market as well.

Many dildos are curved to reach and stimulate the G spot, which is a sensitive gland located behind the pubic bone in women. Another variation is the double-penetration dildo. This type has a long thick part for vaginal penetration and a shorter, thinner part for anal penetration. Some dildos even contain a vibrating component to provide additional erotic sensations.

The highest quality and most durable dildos are made from silicone rubber. They are also the most costly. If you’re not sure what size and shape of toy you prefer, you may want to start off with a less expensive dildo made from jelly rubber or latex rubber. A dildo is generally stiffer and less flexible than a penis, so choose something a little smaller in width than you might think you can handle.

Using lubricant with your dildo will make both vaginal and anal play much more enjoyable. You’ll want to pick up a bottle of water-based lube when you buy your toy so you will always have some handy. Don’t use silicone-based lube with silicone dildos or you will ruin your toy.

Cleanliness is important for all sex toys, but especially so for dildos. Be sure to clean your dildo with soap and warm water or toy cleaner when you’ve finished with it. Materials such as jelly rubber can retain bacteria and be hard to clean thoroughly. It’s not a bad idea to put a condom over the dildo before engaging in play.

Experimenting with a new sex toy may be just what you need to perk up your love life. The fun you can have with a dildo is really limited only by your imagination. Pay a visit to your local adult toy store or do a little online shopping. There are so many varieties available that you’re bound to find a dildo that tempts you to indulge in a little sensual diversity.
