Tinkering with the idea of buying a dildo? Curious, excited, keen to know a little more? Well, you are not the first to entertain the possibility. Archaeologists have discovered dildos dating back thousands of years – all the way to the stone age, and yes, they were sculpted from stone! So you are in time-honoured and trustworthy hands here.
Not for nothing has the dildo remained the most popular sex toy. A dildo is designed for vaginal or anal penetration, but it can be used in many ways that give pleasure and enhance your sexual experience. Dildos typically resemble the look and shape of an erect penis, but they also come in non-phallic designs and in all colour schemes imaginable.
There is a certain overlap in terms of what dildos and vibrators can do for you, but there are crucial differences! First and foremost, technically, dildos don’t vibrate (well, most don’t, but there are always a few exceptions to create confusion!).
The other major difference is that vibrators are not only used for penetration but also for external, especially clit-centric, stimulation. Another difference is that dildos typically offer less frills and less tech, and are more phallic and raunchier than their sleeker, vibrating mates.
Dildos are used by all genders and sexualities for masturbation or partnered sex play, which already tells us a lot about the dildo’s versatility. They provide stimulation, via thrusting, to the G-spot, the prostate, and other parts of the vagina or anus.
Dildos are good fun, and there are many reasons why people can’t keep their hands off them. Some of these include:
Dildos can also help you to maintain vaginal health. Masturbation, and with a dildo in particular, exercises the pelvic floor muscles and increases the circulation of blood and hormones to the vaginal area. Some sexual health experts even recommend dildos to treat pelvic floor spasms and vaginismus. You may want to check out our love eggs and kegel balls guides and our female dilator guide to learn more about toys that promote vaginal health.
There is a truly overwhelming variety of dildos to choose from. The good news is that, using our guide to help you navigate the possibilities, you are sure to find one that is just right for you. With such a vast offering, every desire is catered to.
Before diving into the details of each category, let’s cover a few basics about dildos that will help you to make an informed purchase in terms of look, feel, shape, and other play possibilities.
In terms of visuals, dildos are either realistic-looking, or sport a more neutral, non-phallic design. The latter may be a bit less intimidating for a first-time dildo purchase. In addition to looks, their textures range in terms of realistic feel, firmness, shape of the head, and some dildos embed a vibrator.
Dildos that feature a suction cup will attach to any smooth surface, which is great for hands-free fun. Such dildos are typically also compatible with harnesses, meaning they will double up for use during a steamy strap-on session with a partner. If you fancy using a dildo for backdoor play, make sure it has a flared base. Strap-on and anal dildos can of course also be used vaginally.
Some dildos are truly impressively sized. Unless you know you prefer a big, girthy one, start small and simple and gradually work your way up (check size chart). Most dildos are made of high-quality silicone or skin-safe rubber but you may choose a dildo made of glass or metal if you fancy the distinct feel of these materials, or want to experiment with temperature play. And then there are the double-ended or double-penetration dildos, which offer additional options in both solo and partnered play.
Do you hate to be separated from your partner’s penis? Well, cloning your man’s manhood is easier than you’d think, thanks to our dildo moulding sets. Check out the dildo moulding guide to learn more.
Once you have the dildo in your hand, things will develop very intuitively. You will instantly know what to do with it and where to put it. That being said, our advice is designed to help make your experience as pleasurable and satisfying as possible.
Dildos are typically designed for vaginal and anal penetration. If you’re looking to use your dildo for clitoral stimulation, while a conventional dildo may not be the best choice, a vibrating dildo may be just the thing. The role you want to give your new playmate is really for you to decide.
No matter which dildo you choose, use plenty of lube. The dildo’s material causes more friction than a penis, and hence using lube is key to a pleasurable experience. In general, we recommend using water-based lube, which is the most versatile, but there are lots of more specified options dependent on the type of play intended (see our lubricant guides).
Don’t be shy to experiment – the journey to becoming dildo-savvy is full of sensations. Try out different sizes, shapes and materials and find out what is best for you. Start small and progress at your own pace to keep the experiences positive. You’ll be going wild with your suction cup dildo in no time! And there’s a variety of ways to introduce strap-ons to straight and same sex relationships for pleasure-packed sessions (see our strap-on guides).
As you can see, there is plenty to be explored, discovered and enjoyed. Read on about the most popular types of dildos and you will be all set to choose the perfect one for you. We’ve also offered a top pick for every category, if you’d like to take our word for it.
