What is Dildo?
A dildo is a sex toy, often explicitly phallic in appearance, intended for sexual penetration or other sexual activity during masturbation or with a sexual partner. Dildos are generally made of silicone rubber, jelly rubber, nylon, latex, metal, or glass. Some expand this definition to include vibrators. Others exclude penis prosthetic aids, which are sometimes seen as dildos. Dildos are used by people of all genders and sexual orientations for solo or partner sexual activity. Dildos have been made in a variety of colors, sizes and materials. They are often designed to resemble a penis, but some are non-phallic. A strap-on dildo can be used for a wide variety of sexual activities, including vaginal sex, anal sex, oral sex, or solo or mutual masturbation. Dildos are sometimes used in foreplay, as well as during sexual intercourse. When used in this way, they can enhance the sexual pleasure of both partners. Dildos can be used to stimulate the g-spot or the male prostate. Some people use dildos for anal penetration, either with or without a partner. Dildos designed for anal penetration often have a flared base to prevent them from being fully inserted into the rectum, which can result in injury. Dildos are sometimes used in conjunction with other sex toys, such as vibrators, to provide additional stimulation. They can also be used to extend the length of a penis during sexual activity. Dildos are available in a variety of materials, including silicone, latex, jelly rubber, nylon, metal, and glass. Silicone is the most popular material for dildos, due to its flexibility and durability. Jelly rubber is also a popular material, but it is less durable than silicone and can contain harmful chemicals. Latex dildos are less common, due to the risk of allergic reaction, but they are often used in strap-on dildos because of their flexibility. Nylon dildos are less common, but they are often used in strap-on dildos because of their durability. Metal and glass dildos are less common, but they offer a different sensation than other materials. Dildos come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They can be realistic in appearance, or they can be non-realistic. Realistic dildos are designed to look and feel like a real penis. Non-realistic dildos often have a more abstract appearance. Dildos are often used for vaginal or anal penetration, but they can also be used for oral sex. When used for oral sex, they can be used to stimulate the g-spot or the male prostate. Dildos can be purchased from a variety of retailers, including sex toy stores, online retailers, and department stores. They can also be made at home using a variety of materials, such as silicone, latex, jelly rubber, nylon, metal, and glass.
