Practical tips before you begin
Before you start using the dildo, there are some things you need to do and have by your side: a good dildo and a good mood.
There is a thin line between having a fantastic dildo masturbation session and thinking that dildos are not for you, and that thin line is choosing the right dildo. There are anal dildos, squirting dildos, textured, lifelike, big dildos, dildos with a suction cup, inflatable ones, two-sided, G-spot or P-spot stimulating dildos, and many other ones too. Each of these dildos has a specific purpose, so it’s essential to get the right one that will give you what you expect it to. If you’re unsure what that is, think about what you usually like during sex or masturbating and pick a dildo that looks similar or serves the purpose you want to use it for.
Next, it’s time to set up the ambiance. You would be amazed how much a good ambiance will do to set the mood. Make sure you’re entirely relaxed by lighting up candles, putting on your favorite sensual music, dimming the lights, or rubbing some essential oils on your body. Get into the mood by playing with yourself a bit before to ensure you can insert the dildo effortlessly and have a satisfying session that will result in a fulfilling orgasm.
Why would you use a dildo?
Dildos are very popular sex toys because of their authenticity and versatility. While they are primarily designed with sexual stimulation in mind, there are many reasons one may want to use a dildo. For this reason, there are dildos with different shapes, functions, and uses, so everyone can find one to their taste, regardless of if it’s for solo, couple, or multi-way use. The most common ones are described below.
1. Affirm gender identity
Many people aren’t sure or have doubts about their gender identity or sexuality, or experience gender euphoria but are lackluster about sharing it with their partner or another person. Dildos can be enjoyed by people of any gender or sexual orientation, so doing certain acts with them can help you discover your sexuality and gender identity.
2. Replicate the sensation of a real penis
The dildo’s different features, combined with the hardness of an erection, do an incredible job of replicating the realistic sensation a penis gives. This makes them great for those who want something that looks and feels real but don’t want to deal with the hassle of dating or don’t have the time to meet an actual person.
3. Get back into action
Dildos are here whenever you need them, for whatever you need them. This includes breakups, divorces, or simply when you’ve lost someone and want to prepare to get back into the dating world. You may not have the confidence to start being intimate with another person or need something to remind you of how it was. A dildo can help you ease yourself into the intimacy of a relationship or get comfortable being around a real male penis.
4. Find out what you like
As we mentioned a few times already, dildos are incredibly versatile. Just like people are. And their sexual desires and kinks. This makes them a great tool to experiment with, discover new sensations, and try out new positions, angles, or even rooms. As you explore, you will start figuring out what works and what doesn't for you, which will let you know how to target and stimulate your G-spot or P-spot and, finally, achieve a satisfying, leg-shaking orgasm.
5. Practice
While dildos are great for discovering what you want, they are also great for practicing your skills. If you have a new date coming up and want to hone your skills, test out what you can do, or perfect yourself in a specific role, a dildo is the most convenient toy to precisely do that. You can also experiment with anal sex, oral sex, double penetration, role reversal, pegging, or masturbation. Plus, using a dildo is like having pleasure on demand, quite literally. You can use it whenever you want for as long as you want, with or without breaks.
6. Explore a sexual fantasy
Many people have specific sexual fantasies they want to experience, and not everyone can realize them. If you’re shy to share your kinks, they are too much for your significant other, or were simply curious about what something would feel like; dildos can help you realize your sexual fantasy. Plus, a dildo can be a great way to spice things up with your partner and experience something new in the bedroom.
