A Comprehensive Guide to Dildos & Dongs

Sexual play and foreplay has changed a lot since the past few decades. Toys and instruments that were supposed to be taboo just a few years ago are today quite commonly found in the bedroom of even the most ‘straight-razor’ couples.

In such a scenario, dildos and dongs may be the most used sex toys ever.

Here is a comprehensive guide to dildos and dongs.

What is a Dildo?

A dildo is a non-vibrating, non-mechanical device that is used for vaginal and anal penetration. The dildo is generally modeled after the human penis for obvious reasons and was first used in the early eighteenth century.  While the first dildo that has been discovered was made of siltstone, today one can find a dildo made of any texture, shape and size.

What should you look for in a dildo?

The first aspect that you should look into is the size of the dildo. Since the dildo is basically a standby for the penis, it is necessary that the dildo covers for all the responsibilities of the penis- one of them being filling the vagina satisfactorily.  Since there are several sizes available, right from the ones that are aimed towards women who have just begun to have sex to those who are quite experienced, you should consider which one to buy with care. Buying too small a dildo will not give you the satisfaction that you are looking for, and buying an extra-large dildo can cause a painful experience.

The other aspect that you should take into consideration is the material that is used. Basically, a dildo can be prepared out of a wide number of materials, right from leather to different kinds of metals. Dildos are also available in glass, etc. you should decide which material you would like. Also, remember that some people have allergies to certain everyday materials. Try to find out if you have any kind of allergies to materials before deciding on the material of the dildo.

Also, you should first decide what you are about to use the dildo for, which is not as stupid a suggestion as it sounds. For example, if you are buying a dildo for a strap on, you should make sure that the end of the dildo is made in such a way that it can be put onto a strap on.

Also, the length of the dildo should also be decided, as there are different lengths that are right for the vaginal and the anal orifice.

While looking for a dildo, remember that nowadays one can buy a thematic dildo too. If a certain movie is a colossal hit, there is a possibility that there might be dildos that take their inspiration from those movies or even current events. Try to not act too flabbergasted if you see a dildo modeled after a celebrity or a politician.

Dildos can be considered to be the dummies guide to sexual intercourse.  If you are planning to use vibrators and other toys in future sexual intercourse, you basically begin with the dildo and then go further.

Most importantly, you should check for the hygienic and safety aspect of the dildo. The dildo will have intimate penetration with sexual organs, and it is quite possible that they are exchanged between sexual partners. Therefore, you should make sure that the dildo is easily washable and cleanable. Maintaining hygiene is the most important responsibility that a couple having sex should take care of. There are several sexually transmitted diseases that can be transmitted due to sex toys not being washed properly and exchanged.

These are the tips that you should keep in mind while you are buying a dildo.  Also, you should try to gauge the hygiene and safety values that might be followed in the place where you are buying the dildo. If you are buying the dildo online, make sure that the website offers a secure connection and your online identity and financial information cannot be compromised.

While the dildo has been the classically used sex toy, the dong is also making a strong entry into the world of sex toys. The dong is a relatively new sex toy, which is basically an enhancement of the dildo. While the dildo has the sacs at the end, or at least the end of the dildo is basically used as a handle, the dong may be a double sized dildo. Therefore, the dong can be used to penetrate both partners at the same time.

The dong is typically longer in size than the average dildo.  Like the dildo, the dong is available in various shapes and sizes. You can either opt for the dong made of metal, leather or even glass, or look for the more expensive tailor-made dongs for your requirement. Also, the dong is mostly used for penetration of both the partners, so unless you are in a lesbian, gay or bisexual relationship, the dong would not be as useful for you as you would think.

The dong should be more hygienically inclined because it has greater chances of being used by two individuals together. Therefore, it should be easily washable and cleanable, and one should ensure that the dong has a tendency to not to stick to fluids like semen, etc.
