5 Tips to Have More Fun With Your Dildo

Dildos seem like a simple enough sex toy. You put it in, pull it out, and repeat that over and over again until you’re satisfied. And a good dildo should be that easy to use, but that doesn’t mean that’s all you can do with it.

If you want more fun and a better experience with your dildo, check out these tips to try something new!

Use Lube

Anytime you want to take any sex toy experience to a new level, add personal lubricant. It reduces friction, helps your toy glide easier across your body, and feels good. With dildos, it makes penetration and thrusting easier, too. Lube can also help you focus on the sensations and less on the mechanics of the in-and-out motion you need to make.

Look for lubes that work with the material of your dildo. Water-based lube is safe for any material. Silicone or oil lubes are thicker and last longer, but they’re only good with metal or glass dildos. To really spice up your penetrative fun, try a sensation lube like a warming or tingling option. Start with a little and keep adding more as long as it feels good.

Get the Right Size

Size matters when you choose a dildo. It doesn’t matter if you like them itty-bitty or you want the biggest shaft you can afford. What really matters is what your body can handle. Too small, and you might not feel much. Too big, and penetration might hurt or even tear your body — and lube will only do so much to ease the friction.

Think about the way you want to play with your dildo and buy a size according to the need. If you’re doing anal as a newbie, you need something slim and tapered at the tip. If you want to feel full and stretched, you may want a dildo that’s larger than “average” but start in stages. Don’t go from a four-inch dildo to 10 inches overnight. Work your way up gradually.

Try a Different Position

It’s normal to get into a routine with anything you do, including how you play with your dildos. Sometimes, though, a routine turns into a rut. If you feel a little bored with any sex toy, change up the position you use with it.

Dildos lend themselves to multiple sex positions because they act as a stand-in for a dick. Instead of lying flat on your back, get on your knees. Instead of holding your dildo, use a suction cup base and either ride it or back into it. You can even give your dildo a blowjob or footjob if it turns you on to do. Think of all the sexual positions you can physically do and replace the real D with your dildo.

Pair Your Dildo with a Sex Toy

Yes, a dildo is a sex toy, but that doesn’t mean you have to only use one at a time. For a better, more satisfying experience with your faux-dick, try adding another sex toy. This is especially easy if you have a vulva.

You can add a vibrating cock ring so your clit gets vibrations with each thrust. You can use a vibrator and hold it against your clit while your dildo penetrates you. But even if you’re using a dildo for anal, there are other sensations to add to the fun. Use nipple clamps, cock cages, vibrators, and anything else that feels good to you.

Switch Up How You Play With It

Think about how you use your dildo. Is it a solo sex toy that you usually pull out (and put in) when you’re alone? Or is it a fun addition to your partnered sex life? To create a new experience with your dildo, do the opposite of your typical fun. This will force you to re-think the way you play.

Playing alone allows you to hold your dildo in a different way, set a different pace, or switch up your position. Using your dildo with a partner makes them and your toy part of the action together. You can get creative for what this means, but it’s great for kinky fun (if you need an idea). Make sure you talk to your partner before bringing a dildo to bed with you. That’s not a moment for an “unpleasant” surprise.

Conclusion

There’s no single right way to play with a dildo. They make great solo toys and they’re perfect for couples. You can use them in role-play or as a stand-in penis when you don’t have one around. But to keep your pleasure fun and exciting, sometimes you need to change things up a bit. Even small adjustments, like adding lube, can create powerful orgasms.
