When shopping for dildos, do you have a strong preference one way or another if your dildo has a balls base?

Contributor: Happy Camper Happy Camper
I'm learning that balls are a crucial part of the sex experience for me. A dildo can look and feel however realistic it wants but I am not interested in it unless it has a pair of balls I can smack myself with. In shopping for an upgrade, I'm having trouble finding a realistic dildo in the size I want, with the texture I want, and in the price range I want. But I'm just curious. Is anyone else as particular as I am about this? One way or the other? I'd be curious to hear opinions from people with the opposite preference.

Without the balls - the dildo can easily rotate inside putting pressure in the wrong places. Since I'm doing this with my wife - I need a frame of reference.

It really depends on the toy, I'm not quite sure what my exact criteria is, to be honest. I do really enjoy some that have balls, but other times the deciding factor in choosing is that it's balls-free. I'm gonna say it's probably more about the overall look of the toy, and I really like having both types in my collection

I generally look first at other things, but balls have their advantages. They provide a good handle and can be used for leverage, and they provide a "this side up" indicator (or more appropriately a "which way is this pointing" indicator). They can get in the way and they definitely make a toy much more realistic (can go either way with that).

The rest of the dildo is more important to me, but I'm fine with both.

I don't like the look of balls on a dildo. I just don't really like toys which are realistic. I can deal with a semi-realistic looking dildo, if it's a strange color or something so it doesn't look exactly like a penis. The balls just make it look too "real" to me though.

Mostly no balls, but I have both types.

If I am going for the realistic look, balls are a must. I've also noticed that in general I have started to find this part of a man's anatomy very much a turn on.

Balls would be a total turn off for me. The more realistic it is the more it creeps me out.

If it has balls, that makes it anally safe.

I don't care much for balls, but I do like a good base. If the dildo has a nice shape/curve, balls would not deter me from buying it though.

I have both with and without balls, but I have to say I appreciate some nice balls on my toys if I have a choice.

No balls for me, thanks.

I like balls cause they give me a good base to grip on to.
If a realistic dildo doesn't have balls - it looks weird to me and I usually won't buy it.

When I'm looking at a dildo for harness use it doesn't matter. She's a girl, so she doesn't "need" balls, and properly put on almost anything looks good. If she wants balls she can go ahead, though.

I might not have said that when I was getting started, though. Nonrealistic definitely was king back then.

I don't care for the balls, what I'm really looking for is a clitoral stimulator

I usually prefer no balls since that means the base could have a suction cup base. Not always the case but I look out for it.

My wife really likes to have the balls slapping her as well, so that is pretty much a requirement.

I have teenage girls so I tend to pick dildos that aren't terribly realistic looking. I prefer non realistic ones but my girls asked me specifically not to get those. I try to honor their requests when they are reasonable.

I don't really have a strong preference either way, either can be nice when I'm in the mood for it.

I don't really have a preference for anything but if I really had to choose it would be balls. I like the feel of it and when you are imagining and your thoughts running wild..makes it feel more realistic.

I prefer them without the balls. I don't really like overly realistic toys.

I like balls because they sit under the strap of a sex toy my husband built for us. What I want to know is why toy companies think veins on a real cock can be felt or add to pleasure in any way and why they INSIST on putting them on every single fucking toy made. Can I get a nice realistic cock that won't irritate me with the thirty unrealitically raised veins, please?

Why is that? (Just curious, I'm not loaded with some weird argument why you MUST have dildos with balls.)

I've only got one with balls right now, I don't actually like it much, but that has nothing to do with its balls and I plan to get more eventually.

we choose based on material it is made out of, and its shape. If we find one that we like, and it happens to have balls its a bonus.

I generally go for without the balls simply because it's more asesthetically pleasing to me.
