Strap Ons

What Are the Advantages of a Strap On?

Giving pleasure is always at the center of why people use strap dildos. However, there are many other benefits that you'll find when you try out a male strap-on or sex strap. Let's get into it.

Easy to Use

Let's start with the practical benefits - it's super-easy to use a strap on dildo. It will typically be very secure if it's attached to a special harness, meaning that you can have fun without needing your hands. Some fabric harnesses and strapless models need a bit of help from your hands at first, but they're still very easy to use and control.

Cleaning is Straightforward

A strap on dildo can typically be washed with your regular delicates, while the dildo itself is easy to clean using warm, soapy water and a cloth. They should be cleaned after every use, but it barely takes a minute.

Trying Something New

One of the main reasons people choose a male strap on is to try something new and adventurous. Role reversal is very popular today, and as couples look to experiment with new things, men and women discover that there's so much more to sex than what we've been told.

Lesbian couples might also try a sex strap as a new experience. We're all constantly exploring our relationship with our bodies and our partners' bodies.

As Realistic As You Want

Some people might opt for an ultra-realistic model. You can find options with realistic heads, veins, and testicles that perfectly emulate the feeling of a real penis. Likewise, some models are designed with ridges without heads that offer a very different sensation - these are ideal if the appearance sensation of a real penis makes you uncomfortable.

Size is another consideration. Some strapon dildos are unrealistically large - and some of us love that! Others are more realistic in proportion, but there's something for everyone.

Pleasure Goes Both Ways

Some models use a suction cup that attaches through a fabric strap-on harness. This provides soft pressure against the clitoris and vagina and can be an incredibly sensual experience for women using a male strap on dildo.

Pleasure is best when everyone's feeling it. Great strap on dildos make both parties feel good and explore new sensations.

Works with Sexy Clothing

A strap on dildo is often part of a sexy outfit, but even if it comes without additional clothing, these work so well with your hottest lingerie or sexiest outfit. Strap dildos are very popular in kink play and as many are made of leather, they're excellent additions to fetishwear.

Can Be Used Independently

If you and your partner have been enjoying a strap dildo, but they're not around, there's good news: these models are almost always detachable. You can use it by yourself as a regular thrusting dildo and enjoy yourself while anticipating the next time your partner is around to help you out.

Choosing a Strap-On Dildo

As with all sex toys, it's each to their own. Below are the most popular types and styles of strap-on dildos.

Realistic Strap Dildos

An ultra-realistic model with a thick head, veins, and swellings in all the right places, is the ultimate for many male strap-on dildo users. Realistic models are available in a wide range of sizes and tones to let you enjoy your ultimate fantasy.

Vibrating Strapon

Vibrating options help pleasure both parties. The vibrations help the person wearing the strap-on to experience amazing pleasure while stimulating the sensitive parts of the taker. They're a very popular choice for this reason.

Strapless Strap On Dildo

Strapless options have an “extra” part of the dildo that inserts into the vagina of the user, anchoring it in place and removing the need for a strapon harness. They're very easy to use and maintain and don't require you to mess around “getting dressed” before you start.

Squirting Strap Ons

Sometimes the realistic feeling of a dildo isn't quite enough - there's something more. Squirting models can be filled with realistic sperm-like fluid to give an incredibly lifelike sexual experience, and are very popular in kink play.

Ribbed Strap Ons

Ribbed options often don't have a prominent head, and are ideal choices for people who enjoy penetration but are less comfortable with the realistic feeling and appearance of a penis. This is true of many people - male strap-on dildo users often prefer a less lifelike appearance, but many gay women also prefer to avoid ultra-realism.

The ribbed design can also provide additional pleasure, so many users consider these an upgrade for purely pleasurable reasons!

Strapon Harness

Some harnesses “lock” the dildo into place, which makes them easier to maneuver. Others have a fabric strapon harness that the dildo slots into - these can be extremely pleasurable for both parties but may require some steadying at first. Choosing a harness that looks sexy and works for you is an important consideration.

Size

There are sizes to suit every preference. Small dildos that help with prostate stimulation are popular in male strap-ons, but the size can go almost as big as you like! These can be great fun for kink play even if the size makes insertion impossible.

Material

Models are available in many materials - rubber and silicon are the most popular, but leather and even metal are also popular choices for fetish play. Many people prefer a material that isn't too cold or too warm.
