Most people who use a strap on for the first time remember the experience vividly. Regardless of what gender you identify as or your sexual orientation it can be quite an interesting experience. It’s even more interesting if you’re generally more submissive and like your partner to take charge. Of course, if you belong to the “I’ll try anything once” team there are a lot of things you need to know before you try a strap on for the first time.
If you’re using a strap on for the first time with your girlfriend you may need to try different positions before you find the perfect set up. It could be that missionary doesn’t work for you but doggy does. You will also need to use your hands to insert the shaft into her.
You may also find it empowering and arousing because you get to experience things from the other side where you are the one doing the penetrating as opposed to receiving. It can be quite a different experience to what you’re used to.
A strap on can be used with your boyfriend so you can hit the male G-spot which is near the anal region. That will give him mind-blowing orgasms and you’ll be able to overcome some stigma that men who are pegged are gay.
So now that you know why you should use a strap on what about how to get started?
Firstly, have a conversation with your partner to gauge their interest and see if it’s something that they would be open to. Ask them what type of dildos they prefer - do they prefer realistic looking ones or the novelty type that don’t look realistic at all?
If your partner isn’t interested that doesn’t mean you can’t experience with a strap on yourself. You can still use it yourself during solo play.
Assuming they’re interested, picking a strap on harness is the next step to take.
There are so many different types, jock strap style, panty style, boxer style and thong style.
Jock strap and thong style harnesses are the most common ones that you see. They have two straps that run down the bottom of each butt check and they resemble jock-style underwear. Thong style harnesses just have a single strap that sits between the legs. Some people prefer jock strap style harnesses because they stay in place whereas thong style harnesses are easier to control. Panty style and boxer harnesses just look like underwear and they include a built in O-ring for dildos. Some people can wear them all day without issue, so they’re perfect for longer sessions.
After choosing a harness it’s vital that you pick the right dildo. The right dildo should be a comfortable size in length and width. Unlike a biological penis a strap on dildo doesn’t have nerve endings so it’s hard to gauge what feels comfortable for the wearer and the one being penetrated. Dildos that are soft will bend under pressure which could be uncomfortable for the wearer so you’ll need to determine the right level of firmness.
Before choosing a dildo you’ll need to decide if it’s going to be used for penetration or clitoral pleasure. If it’s clitoral pleasure then all that matters is that it has a tip that is narrow enough to stimulate the clitoris.
Whatever you’re looking for we’ve got a huge range that will appeal to all tastes.
