According to Dictionary.com, Dil-do (noun), an artificial erect penis, used as a sexual aid. According to Wikipedia.org “A dildo is a sexual device resembling an erect penis in shape, size and overall appearance." This is a pretty broad definition for this article. We will focus on non-vibrating sexual devices used to penetrate vaginas and anal cavities.
Dildos have been around since the ice age. Archeologists have found artifacts resembling penises for centuries. Forbid that the early artifacts found were ever termed to be sexual aids. In Greek culture they have been shown in art work. Supposedly, Cleopatra even had her favorites. Early Dildos were made of things such as wood, stone, tar, wax, and even animal horns and bones.
Today we have the luxury of many types of materials ranging from hard to soft. We have so many sizes to choose from and we even have color choices. This may help to decrease some of the confusion surrounding that decision of which one?
First, you need to know, what am I getting this for? To use anally? To use vaginally? What do I already own? What did I like or not like about what I have? Do I want to try something new? Do I have a fantasy that this will work for? Am I going to use this with a harness? If I want to use it anally does it have a base? Do I want g-spot or p-spot stimulation?
Most of us lean towards what looks good to us first. So do you like the realistic looking dildos? Do you like the futuristic cool looking one? Do you think to yourself, the one with the piercing looks cool, or oh my that thing has fake pubic hairs? Would you consider putting a dildo inside of you that looks like an animal? Do you want your dildo to be smooth or do you like textures? A little bit of texture or a whole lot? So, what looks good to you.
Hey we have color options! If you choose a realistic dildo, do you want it to be white, black, or a mix? If you like the futuristic, what color would you like? Would you like it to have sparkles? Okay, what color options are in stock?
Are you willing to try new materials? Dildos are now available in a vast number of materials. You can have glass, wood, silicone, rubber, jelly or even metal. Depending on your level of experience and the amount of money you are willing to spend, you can buy a dildo from less than $10 to upwards of $100. Do you want your dildo to be soft? Hard? Somewhere in between? Are you going to be sharing this dildo with a partner or is it for you alone? You need to look at the material safety information to see if this material will work for your intended purposes. Do you like or do you want to try temperature play?
What kind of care is involved with having this dildo? You may be surprised to find that even though this dildo is only for you, it may be porous. That means you cannot use it anally and then use it in your vagina. Do you really want to purchase condoms to use on your toys? Or would you be happier with a dildo you can throw into your dishwasher or boil and know that it is clean?
Okay, so you figured out which type you like, what color and what material. Here’s the interesting part. How long and how wide do you want that dildo to be? I have learned from more than one instance, watch the sizes. Look at the reviews. Are there any comparison photos? Get out your tape measure, check and see how big or little this dildo may be. Are you comfortable with 8 inches insertable? Or would 5 inches suit you better? If you are new to anal, do you really want a 2 inch diameter dildo? I have purchased dildos that, when they arrived I thought “whoa, what did I do?” But then they ended up working quite well. Do you actually know what your limits are? Remember with harder materials such as glass and metal that there is no give. You can actually hurt yourself with something that is too big.
With a little bit of research and reading the reviews, you can find a dildo that may help you to experience some new sensations. It may help you to push your limits, and explore what makes you happy.
