Introduction to Strap-Ons:
Complete selection of Strap-Ons
When people talk of strap-on dildos, they assume that they are meant for penis envy-suffering lesbians only. This is entirely untrue. Strap-ons can be a valuable tool for men experiencing erectile dysfunction who want to engage in penetration with their partners. They are also an option for any couple that wants to experiment with gender-bending or double (vaginal-anal) penetration.
Those who are curious about trying a strap-on for the first time might be intimidated by the range of options available. First of all, if you already own a dildo with a flared base, you could try looking for a harness to wear it with. Otherwise, you can purchase full kits that include both the dildo and the harness. Most harnesses are worn like underwear or a jockstrap with an opening in the front through which the strap-on is inserted, so that it rests against the pubic bone. (Men, be sure to buy a model that includes either an opening or extra space for the genitals.)
As with everything else, the quality of your strap-on depends on what you are willing to pay for it. Most sex shops sell cheaper models that come in only one size or aren’t made of high-quality materials. These are fine for couples who are just looking to spice up their sex life for a night or two. However, if you are interested in a long-term investment and plan on getting a lot of use out of it, be prepared to spend a little extra at a specialty shop or an online dealer.
Higher-quality harnesses are usually made of leather or nylon and have adjustable leg straps. It’s important that the harness fit comfortably—you’ll want to enjoy wearing it, after all! Don’t be afraid to ask questions of the sales clerk. It’s in their best interest to help you find a product you will enjoy. |
