Who Can Benefit From Strap-On Dildo?

 

The common generalization is that women are the only ones who benefit from strap-on dido. In fact, that’s not at all true. Strap-on dildo are great for both men and women.

For Men

Men can definitely wear strap-on dildo. A hollow strap-on that fits over the penis to enhance its length or girth can make you last longer and increase your partner’s pleasure. Another option is a harness that positions a dildo just underneath your penis, allowing for double penetration. Some people like to take it to the next level - orgasm denial. They tuck away their penis and use a traditional strap on, preventing themselves from orgasming and focusing solely their partner's satisfaction.

Of course, having your partner wear a strap-on is also great for men. Prostate stimulation is amazing and can result in hugely satisfying orgasms. It’s also an interesting power dynamic that may allow you to have catharsis by giving up some control of the situation.

For Women

Though strap-ons aren’t only for lesbian sex, they’re definitely helpful in that scenario. Strap-ons allow for more traditional penetration options than dildos or other sex toys, which is useful if that’s what you’re into.

However, women can also use strap-ons for better sex with men. Pegging, which is when you wear a strap-on and penetrate your partner, can allow you to be more dominant in the bedroom, which is hugely arousing to many people. Your partner can also wear a strap-on to increase his penis size or allow him to overcome erectile dysfunction.

Choosing Your Strap-On Dildo

You may think of strap-ons as a monolith, but they’re actually anything but. All of these pieces go into choosing the perfect strap-on dildo.

Basic Requirements

There are many harness packs that come with a dildo pre-inserted, so you don’t even have to worry about choosing a dildo. However, if you do decide to go for your own, there are two important things to remember. Dildos that will go in a harness need a flared base, so they don’t fall out. They also need to be smaller than the ring that holds the dildo in place on your harness. Keep these two things in mind when choosing your dildo.

Different Materials

Dildos are made of a variety of different materials. The most common materials nowadays are silicone, plastic, or a plastic-like material called thermoplastic elastomer. Some people enjoy the heft of glass, but it shouldn’t be used for a harness, as it’s likely to weigh the harness down and make it unusable. Choose a material that you enjoy feeling and that works with your desired lube; silicone toys can’t be used with silicone lube.

G-Spot and Prostate Toys

While it’s definitely possible to have a great time with a general dildo in your harness, you may want to look into toys that specifically target the g-spot or prostate — whichever one applies for your partner. These are usually smooth, rather than realistically patterned, but can drastically increase your partner’s enjoyment of the situation.
