3 min read about dildos

A dildo is a sex toy that resembles the penis in shape, size and overall appearance. It is meant for bodily penetration during masturbation or sex with a partner or partners if that's your thing... It can provide pleasure, when a penis is either not around, or perhaps not wanted.

A long long time ago, dildos were made of stone, tar, wood and other materials that could be shaped like penis and that were firm enough to be used for penetration. Thank god for technology.

Rubber dildos as we now know them, became available in the 1940s and some contained a metal spring for stiffness. Later, made from PVC (and some containing a spring for stiffness) were followed by the dildo we're now more used to, made from silicone. Almost all good dildos are now made from food grade silicone and are completely safe. You can also get glass dildos.

Dildos are commonly used for vaginal penetration, but are completely safe for anal play as well. In fact, some dildos are a more svelte in shape for anal play. Dildos are used by people of all genders and can be used alone, with others and even with a strap-on. You can even get double ended dildos to use with a 'friend'

Dildos can transmit disease between users in the same way as other forms of sexual contact and should not be shared among users where this is a concern. Many people actually choose to use a condom with their sex toys.

Dildos, whilst based on the penis, are more flexible. So have a play, see how they bend and curve and interact with your body. You don't have to go out and get the biggest fattest dildo you can find - start with what makes you comfortable and see what happens.

Which ever dildo you choose, it is a safe and fun addition to the bedroom!
