Strap-On Dildos

What Is a Strap-On Dildo?

A Strap-On Dildo is a wearable sex toy that serves as a genital extension. It has two major components, a harness, and a dildo. In the sex toy industry, Strap-On Dildos also refer to strap-on genitalia that a man or a woman can wear during sexual intercourse.

The wearer uses the dildo to penetrate their partner vaginally or anally, and in some cases, orally.

Strap-On Dildos are sex aids that are useful for both men and women, as well as for heterosexual and same-sex couples. They are also highly functional sex toys that can facilitate sexual experimentation between couples and various bedroom activities such as anal sex, vaginal sex, oral sex, and pegging.

The dildo may serve its purpose as an essential component of the strap-on or exclusively on its own; and is useful for both mutual masturbation and solo play.

Components

Harness: The harness is usually made of various materials such as leather, fabric, soft plastic, and elastic bands to ensure a comfortable fit for the wearer. It can either have two straps that resemble a G-String, three straps that include straps around the hips and thighs, or built-in straps on clothing items such as underwear and corset.

Most models have adjustable belts to accommodate different body types.

Another variation of a strap-on harness is wearable around the head or across the face.

Dildo: The dildo attachment, which is the main component of the sex toy, has a phallic shape or resembles a real penis with a penile head and veins. It is typically made of silicone, body-safe plastic, TPE gel compounds, or other synthetic elements.

Variations

There are several variations of Strap-On Dildos, depending on the harness style and the type of dildo that comes with it. The most basic models are suitably designed to penetrate a partner vaginally or anally wherein the dildo serves as a genital extension, while other variations are meant to provide genital stimulation for both the wearer and the partner.

Various types of Strap-On Dildos also come with vibrating elements, different textures for additional stimulation, a hollow dildo to fit the penis, and a suction cup dildo for further functionality.

It should be noted that Strap-On Dildos are specifically-designed for experienced players that want to explore various kinks and bedroom adventures. Communicate with your partner if you’re going to incorporate a Strap-On Dildo to your sexual routine, and practice extreme precaution if you intend to use it as an anal sex toy.

How to Use a Strap-On Dildo

To use a Strap-On Dildo, you have to wear and secure the harness around your hips, crotch, and thighs. Depending on the type of harness you have (2-Strap, 3-Strap, underwear, or corset), it should fit snugly around your body and hips so you can comfortably penetrate your partner with the dildo attachment.

For ease of insertion to the vagina or anus, use generous amounts of lubricant. This is of utmost importance, particularly in anal penetration, since the anus does not lubricate on its own. Moreover, using water-based lubricant contributes to a smoother glide and comfortable sensation, and significantly minimizes the risk of anal perforation.

Step-by-Step Guide on How to Use a Strap-On Dildo

1. Communicate With Your Partner.

Express your intention to incorporate a Strap-On Dildo to your sexual activity. Communicate with your partner how you plan to use it by explaining its benefits and how it can help improve your sexual relationship. Make sure that your partner agrees to it before deciding to use the sex toy.

2. Wear the Strap-On Dildo.

To start, secure the harness around your hips, thighs, and buttocks. Make the necessary adjustments to the belts or straps to achieve a snug and comfortable fit.

3. Secure the Dildo in Place.

Make sure that the dildo is firmly attached in front of the harness. Some Strap-On Dildos have interchangeable features with several options for dildo attachments. Pick your preferred dildo and secure it in place.

4. Apply Lubricant.

Apply liberal amounts of sex lube along the entire length of the dildo. If you’re using it for anal sex, make sure to apply lubricant on the anal opening as well. Make sure to use the right type of lubricant depending on the material of your sex toy. The safest choice for silicone and synthetic sex toys is a water-based lubricant.

5. Gradually Penetrate Your Partner.

Hold the dildo’s shaft and point its tip against the vaginal or anal opening to gradually penetrate your partner with gentle thrusting motions. Go only as far as your partner feels comfortable. You may ask consent from your partner to push further.

Once you’ve reached a certain penetration depth, you may turn on the vibrating element or adjust the vibrations to your desired level.

6. Don’t Push Beyond Comfort Level.

To achieve a pleasurable experience with your Strap-On Dildo, don’t insert and push it beyond your partner’s comfort level. Keep in mind that it takes a certain level of trust and confidence to incorporate such a sex toy in your relationship, so do not abuse your authority and sexual dominance when penetrating your partner with a Strap-On Dildo.

Different Ways to Use a Strap-On Dildo

The following are different ways to use a Strap-On Dildo with your partner during foreplay and penetrative sex;

Vaginal Sex for Men With Erectile Dysfunction

A Strap-On Dildo is an ideal sex aid for men with erectile dysfunction. There is an option to choose between a hollow-dildo that fits the penis in or position the penis under the dildo.

Either way, wearing a Strap-On Dildo makes it possible for men with erectile dysfunction to satisfy their partner sexually. It can also help them achieve pleasure (and even orgasm) because there’s less pressure on their part to maintain an erection.

Penis Extension

A Strap-On with a hollow dildo serves as a penis extension for men who want to give their partners “bigger and longer” penetration. Just wear the hollow dildo on the penis and penetrate your partner vaginally or anally.

This is also a suitable sex toy for men who tend to suffer from premature ejaculation during sex. Wearing a Strap-On would allow them to fully satisfy their partner, because the hollow dildo can perfectly support penile erection to achieve longer penetrative sex.

Pegging

Pegging is an empowering sex act wherein a woman wears a Strap-On Dildo to penetrate her partner anally, thereby redefining their gender roles in the bedroom.

Ideally, pegging is meant to describe a sexual act between a man and a woman (heterosexual couples). They switch roles to enable the woman to gain the upper role by penetrating her male partner.

Nowadays, pegging is also common among lesbian couples. A Strap-On Dildo enables lesbians to penetrate their partners both vaginally and anally – and they can suitably switch roles in the process. So contrary to common notions, anyone can perform the act of pegging. It’s all a matter of doing it creatively to introduce a sexual act that offers equal opportunities between partners.

Double Penetration

Simultaneous penetration of the vagina and anus is possible using a Strap-On Dildo among heterosexual couples. This depends on the proper positioning of the dildo while wearing the strap-on during sexual intercourse.

In this case, the man can wear the harness and insert both his penis and the dildo simultaneously into his female partner. A typical scenario is the dog-style position wherein the penis can penetrate the vagina while the dildo penetrates the anus.

BDSM

A Strap-On Dildo is useful for a lot of BDSM practices among couples. The Strap-On Dildo with vibrating components is a suitable sex toy to tease and stimulate the clitoris and vagina to induce post-orgasm torture in women while she’s securely-tied or strapped on a bed or furniture.

To facilitate orgasm denial, a man may wear a male chastity belt and a Strap-On Dildo to replace his penis during the entire course of a sexual encounter, thereby denying him of orgasm and ejaculation.

Types of Strap-On Dildos

With the increasing number of couples that are willing to get into new sexual adventures using sex toys, different types of Strap-On Dildos have become available.

And as the sex toy industry continues to thrive, more and more innovative strap-on designs and features are actively launched and introduced to the market to satisfy even the most bizarre sexual kinks.

Open-minded individuals who are fearless enough to take their erotic experiences to the next level can benefit from exploring different Strap-On Dildos types.

Double Strap-On Dildo

A Double Strap-On Dildo is specifically-designed for double penetration. It consists of a harness and two dildos, one as a frontal attachment and one on the crotch for the wearer.

The main purpose is to deliver pleasure both ways through simultaneous penetration. One dildo penetrates the wearer while she inserts the other into her male partner (anally) or female partner (either vaginally or anally).

Another variation consists of two dildos securely attached in front to allow simultaneous penetration to the vagina and anus. This variation is popular among lesbian couples and refers to Dual Penetration Strap-On.

Vibrating Strap-On Dildo

A Vibrating Strap-On Dildo consists of a harness and a vibrating dildo. This is a motorized sex toy that delivers different levels of vibrations during penetration. This is suitable among couples that want to take pleasure to the next level with their sex toy.

The vibrations can effectively stimulate the clitoris and G-spot in women, and the prostate in men, resulting in earth-shaking and mind-blowing orgasms.

Most Vibrating Strap-On Dildos are made of clinical-grade silicone to ensure a smooth and frictionless glide. Innovative models also offer two attachments with interchangeable designs, one vaginal dildo, and one anal dildo.

Hollow Strap-On Dildo

Suitable for men with erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation, a Hollow Strap-On Dildo has a hollow opening for the penis. The main purpose of this strap-on is to ensure a well-sustained erection in men to prolong penetrative sex.

This enables men to provide sexual satisfaction to their partners without dealing with the pressure and anxiety brought about by their condition.

Medical sex experts also agree that men with erectile dysfunction can regain their sexual confidence in bed with a hollow dildo and become capable of achieving orgasms, knowing that they are able to satisfy their partners.

Strapless Strap-On Dildo

A bolder take on the classic Strap-On Dildo is a strapless model meant to penetrate your partner’s anus while it is fully inserted in your vagina. In this case, your vagina serves as the harness and secures the dildo in place during the actual penetration.

It is similar to sharing one penetrative sex toy with your partner. Strapless Dildos can be suitably used creatively in the bedroom and allows sexual experimentation between heterosexual couples and same-sex couples.

Strapless Strap-On Dildos are usually made of soft and smooth silicone material and well-equipped with vibrating elements to stimulate the clitoris and G-spot while pegging your partner.

Strap-On Realistic Dildo

A Strap-On Realistic Dildo consists of a harness and a lifelike dildo that resembles the size and texture of a real penis. The dildo is usually made of body-safe synthetic material or silicone and has a realistic penile head, veins, and ridges to mimic a true-to-life experience and sensation.

There are two common variations, a solid realistic dildo, and a hollow realistic dildo. The solid type is suitable for lesbians and women, while the hollow dildo is more ideal for men since the penis can comfortably fit in.

Some models have interchangeable elements that allow users to change the attachment to their preferred type of dildo.

Adjustable Belt Strap-On Dildo

An Adjustable Belt Strap-On Dildo has a harness that looks like a belt and consists of buckles, holes, and prongs along the straps to easily adjust the harness to your desired fit.

The belts are usually made of leather, nylon, or other synthetic materials with metallic details for the adjusting elements. The dildo attachment in front can be securely fastened to change, position, or hold the dildo in place.

Elastic Belt Strap-On Dildo

A Strap-On Dildo with an elastic belt is made of fully-elastic or garter materials for a snug and comfortable fit. It is an ideal sex toy for couples that are not fond of metallic details and leather harnesses with adjustable belts. Strap-Ons with elastic belts usually have plastic buckles to allow easy adjustment and other synthetic materials to help secure the dildo in place.

Strap-On Dildo With Suction Cup Base

A Strap-On Dildo with a Suction Cup Base offers full functionality and versatility. You have the option to use the dildo as part of the strap-on for pegging your partner or use it on its own for solo masturbation. The suction cup base allows you to stick the dildo on the bathtub, floor, or furniture for a pleasurable hands-free solo play.

Pegging Strap-On

A Pegging Strap-On is a general term that refers to a dildo that’s securely attached to a harness. It is originally a sex toy for females who want to dominate their male partner in bed by penetrating them anally. It consists of a realistic dildo that resembles a penis and is meant to define new sexual roles between heterosexual couples.

In its broadest sense, using a Pegging Strap-On allows women to take charge during sex because the act of penetrating their male partner creates a sense of dominance and control. This can ultimately lead to an intimate and pleasurable experience that enables trust and open communication between couples during sex.

Strap-On Alien Dildo

A Strap-On Alien Dildo is a fantasy sex toy that is securely attached to a harness. The sex toy could be an odd-shaped dildo, extra large dildo, penis extender, or a dildo with a bizarre and unusual texture that’s literally out of this world. It usually satisfies a particular sexual fetish that involves having sex with an alien or with a supernatural being.

Strap-On Fantasy Dildos come in many extraordinary shapes, forms, and textures. Some resemble a realistic penis but in an unusually bigger form that’s practically too big and too long to handle by a human. Still, other people’s fascination for alien dildos can be well-satisfied and can become a real-life experience with a strap-on element.

Purpose of Strap-On Dildos

Strap-On Dildos are more versatile and functional than you think. Besides the common notion that they are suitably designed for pegging and redefining gender roles in the bedroom, they also address a handful of clinically-diagnosed sexual problems, encourage intimacy between couples, and promote sexual experimentation between partners.

These (and more) are achievable using the right type of harness and dildo that address individual needs.

To understand the many ways in which a Strap-On Dildo can become useful among many couples regardless of gender and type of relationship, let’s explore the following purposes.

Strap-On Dildos for Men

The purposes of Strap-On Dildos for men vary from addressing certain medical conditions related to sex, to wanting to satisfy their partner, all the way to grab the opportunity to engage in sexual adventures.

Sex Aid for Men With Erectile Dysfunction (ED): Men suffering from ED and are unable to sustain an erection can benefit from a Strap-On Dildo to fulfill their sexual obligations towards their partner. A strap-on can relieve them from the pressure and anxiety of prolonging their erection to satisfy their partner. And as a result, they can enjoy relaxing and tension-free sex that may lead to orgasm.

Prevent Premature Ejaculation: Men who tend to ejaculate prematurely during sex can wear a Strap-On Dildo to maintain erection and achieve a longer and more satisfying penetrative sex with their partner.

Penis Extender: Strap-On Dildos are excellent penis extenders. Men who want to give their partners bigger penetration can benefit from a strap-on with a hollow dildo to create an impression of having a huge penis during sexual intercourse.

Double Penetration: Men who find dual penetration pleasurable can wear a Strap-On Dildo to simultaneously penetrate their partner’s vagina and anus. Depending on the sexual position and placement of the dildo, a man can penetrate a woman vaginally with his penis and anally with the dildo, and vice versa.

Strap-On Dildos for Gays

Contrary to common beliefs that Strap-On Dildos are exclusively for heterosexual couples and lesbian sex, they are just as beneficial for gay couples. With enough exploration and creativity, these sex toys can deliver loads of sensuality and excitement among gay couples who want to level up their sexual relationships.

Anal Sex: Strap-On Dildos are highly favorable sex toys for gays because they are useful for anal sex. However, such practice is specifically intended for experienced anal players.

Anal Training: For beginners, a strap-on with a small dildo or a beginner’s dildo is more suitable to gradually stretch and train the anus for a safer anal penetration. It is also important to use generous amounts of lubricant for a frictionless entry and avoid anal irritation.

Role-Playing: The purpose of Strap-On Dildos among gays is that it encourages erotic role-playing and mutual pleasure. Both parties can wear a Strap-On Dildo to stimulate each other anally, initiate anal sex, introduce different textures, and precisely massage each other’s prostate alternately. To level up the experience, a strap-on with a vibrating dildo can initiate new and more pleasurable sensations to intensify anal play.

Double Penetration: Strap-On Dildos specifically designed for dual penetration have one internal dildo (or anal plug) for the wearer and a dildo attachment for the receiver. This results in mutual pleasure because the stimulation goes both ways.

Strap-On Dildos for Women

Strap-On Dildos are suitably designed for women who want to experience a sense of empowerment while having sex with their partner. Women wear strap-on dildos primarily to penetrate their partner anally and introduce an element of role reversal in the bedroom.

Pegging: This unconventional practice helps develop trust and intimacy between heterosexual couples and encourages openness when it comes to sex. More importantly, this sexual activity promotes better communication during sex as women gain an upper and more dominant role against their male partners.

Sexual Experimentation: Another important purpose of Strap-On Dildos among women is to encourage sexual exploration that may break boring bedroom routines and resolve any dry spells. It also adds interesting role-playing elements during sex and creates exciting new twists that are beneficial among couples that want to overcome sexual ruts in their relationship.

Clitoral and Vaginal Stimulation: Strap-On Dildos’ purpose among women goes beyond the act of pegging because certain variations provide additional stimulation to other sensitive zones. Examples are; Strap-On Dildos with vibrating eggs that stimulate the clitoris and Strap-On Dildos with internal plug for vaginal or anal insertion while wearing the harness.

Strap-On Dildos for Lesbians

Strap-On Dildos can present a multitude of purposes for lesbians that equate to pleasurable sexual encounters and satisfying experiences with their partner.

Vaginal Penetration: Lesbians can wear a Strap-On Dildo to penetrate their partner vaginally.

Anal Penetration: A Strap-On Dildo is useful in penetrating a sexual partner anally (pegging).

Dual Penetration: A Strap-On Dildo with an internal plug or dildo is suitably designed for vaginal or anal penetration for the wearer while penetrating her partner. This feature results in pleasure that goes both ways.

Clit Stimulation: Strap-On Dildos that have vibrating eggs on the crotch provide precise stimulation to the clitoris of the wearer while performing the act of pegging to her partner.

BDSM: Lesbians that practice BDSM with their partner can use a Strap-On Dildo to rouse, tease, and stimulate their partner’s erogenous zones while securely strapped on furniture.

Orgasm Denial: Orgasm denial refers to the act of triggering intense sexual excitement through on-and-off stimulation to an erogenous zone like the clitoris and vagina. It is also the practice of putting the person in a heightened state of arousal for an extended period without allowing her to reach orgasm.

Role-Playing Fellatio: Lesbians who have fantasies of having a penis can wear a Strap-On Dildo and ask their partner to give the dildo an oral sex. The pleasure comes from watching their partner perform swallowing, sucking, and licking motions to the dildo. Realistic dildos that resemble a lifelike penis are the most suitable choice for this type of role-playing action.

Double Penetration: Strap-On Dildos that have attachments for two dildos can provide double penetration to your partner. The upper dildo can penetrate the vagina while the lower dildo can penetrate the anus simultaneously.
