THE HUMBLE DILDO IS ONE OF THE OLDEST KNOWN SEX TOYS, DATING BACK AT LEAST 28,000 YEARS. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED THAT ANCIENT PHALLUSES WERE FASHIONED FROM STONE, WOOD, LEATHER AND SOMETIMES CAMEL DUNG! THE TERM DILDO WAS FIRST USED IN AROUND 1400 AD AND IS SAID TO HAVE ORIGINATED FROM THE OLD LATIN WORD FOR ‘DILATARE’, WHICH MEANS ‘OPEN WIDE’, AND THE ITALIAN FOR DELIGHT, WHICH TRANSLATES AS ‘DILETTO.’

IN THE 1800S DILDOS WERE WIDELY USED BY PHYSICIANS TO HELP CURE POOR WOMEN OF HYSTERIA AND A VARIETY OF WACKY MODELS WERE INVENTED AND TESTED. LUCKILY FOR US, THINGS HAVE MOVED ON AND WE NOW HAVE ACCESS TO A WIDE RANGE OF DILDOS IN EVERY SHAPE, SIZE, MATERIAL AND TEXTURE YOU COULD POSSIBLY DREAM OF.

SO RATHER THAN HAVING TO BUILD ONE FOR YOURSELF, YOU ARE NOW SPOILT FOR CHOICE AND THE MAIN ISSUE IS DECIDING ON WHICH ONE IS BEST TO FLOAT YOUR BOAT. SO LET'S DIVE IN.

REALISTIC DILDO

AS YOU CAN IMAGINE THESE DILDOS ARE DESIGNED TO LOOK LIKE A REAL ERECT PENIS. THEY OFTEN COME WITH BALLS AND ARE DETAILED TO INCLUDE A PROMINENT HEAD AND HAVE VEINS ALONG THE SHAFT. AS ONE OF THE TOP-SELLING SEX TOYS, THE PRICE CAN VARY DEPENDING ON THE DETAILING AND MATERIALS USED TO CREATE THE DILDO. YOU CAN HAVE A CHEAPER BUDGET OPTION OR LOOK FOR A MORE HIGH-END LUXURY OFFERING. DEPENDING ON YOUR BUDGET YOU CAN SHOP AROUND FOR DIFFERENT FEATURES.

IF YOU LIKE THE FEEL OF A PAIR OF BALLS SLAPPING YOU DURING VAGINAL PENETRATION THEN LOOK FOR A 6-8 INCH DILDO WITH TESTICLES, THIS MAKES SURE THE SHAFT CAN BE INSERTED FULLY AND YOU GET TO FEEL THE BALLS. IF YOU WANT TO MIMIC A 'REAL' ERECT COCK THEN LOOK FOR 'REAL SKIN' SILICON DILDOS, THESE ARE ALWAYS A MORE EXPENSIVE OPTION BUT THEY ARE THE BEST NEAREST THING. THEY ARE MORE PLIABLE AND WARM UP WITH YOUR BODY HEAT AND RETAIN IT WELL, GIVING YOU A REALISTIC TOE-CURLING EXPERIENCE.   

SUCTION CUP DILDO

SUCTION CUPS ARE TRULY YOUR BEST FRIEND. THIS FEATURE IS NOW SO POPULAR THAT ALMOST ALL NEW DILDOS ON THE MARKET HAVE ONE ADDED. SUCTION CUP DILDOS ARE ALSO KNOWN AS 'WALL BANGERS' OR 'WALL DILDOS' AS THE SUCTION CUP ALLOWS FOR THE DILDO TO STICK TO ANY SMOOTH SURFACE, SUCH AS IN THE SHOWER, BATHTUB,  WOODEN FLOORS, OR ANYWHERE YOU CAN IMAGINE, ALLOWING FOR A TRUSTING BOUNCING HANDS-FREE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE. 
IT IS ALSO VERY VERSATILE AS SUCTION CUPS MODELS CAN BE USED IN MOST STANDARD O RING HARNESSES, SO YOU CAN CHANGE UP YOUR STYLE. THE CUP IS ALSO PERFECT FOR USE AS A STURDY BASE FOR LEVERAGE AS YOU PLUNGE THE DILDO IN AND OUT.

GLASS DILDO

THESE ARE THE TYPE OF TOY THAT ONCE YOU HAVE TRIED IT THEN IT WILL BECOME YOUR NEW FAVOURITE TOY. SOME PEOPLE WORRY THAT THEY MAY BREAK AND ARE NOT SAFE TO USE BUT THEY ARE EXTREMELY TOUGH, RESILIENT, AND SHATTERPROOF. YOU CAN CHOOSE MANY DIFFERENT STYLES FROM SMOOTH, RIPPLED, TEXTURED, ALL HAVE BEEN DESIGNED TO OFFER A DIFFERENT FEEL ON PENETRATION AND ALL LOOK STUNNING. 

GLASS DILDOS ARE EXQUISITE EXAMPLES OF A LUXURY SEX TOY, ONE OF THE TOP BENEFITS OF GLASS SEX TOYS IS IF CARED FOR CORRECTLY IT WILL LAST A LIFETIME. WOMEN OFTEN CHOOSE A GLASS DONG ONE FOR ITS HYPO-ALLERGENIC AND NON-POROUS QUALITIES. THEY ARE ALSO EXTREMELY EASY TO KEEP CLEAN.

THE WEIGHTED AND RIGID FEEL IS IDEAL FOR DEEP PENETRATION, YOU CAN ALSO USE TO EXPERIMENT WITH TEMPERATURE PLAY BY HEATING OR COOLING THE GLASS (ALWAYS CHECK THE MANUFACTURES INSTRUCTIONS). 

DOUBLE-ENDED DILDO

DOUBLE DILDOS ARE AVAILABLE IN TWO STYLES. FIRST IS THE CLASSIC DOUBLE-HEADED DILDO WHICH IS USUALLY AVAILABLE IN VARYING LENGTHS. THEY CONSIST OF A LONG SHAFT WITH A PENIS DETAIL HEAD ON EACH END. THE SECOND IS THE DOUBLE PENETRATION DILDO WHICH IS U-SHAPED AND SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR DOUBLE PENETRATION. OF COURSE, YOU CAN BEND THE REGULAR DOUBLEHEADER TO USE AS A DOUBLE PENETRATION DILDO, BUT YOU WILL HAVE A FAR MORE SATISFYING EXPERIENCE WITH THE MODELS THAT ARE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO PENETRATE INTO THE VAGINA AND ANUS AT THE SAME TIME THEY ARE PERFECT FOR G-SPOT AND P-SPOT STIMULATION.

ANAL DILDO

IF ANAL PENETRATION IS WHAT YOU'RE AFTER THEN LOOK TO BUY A SLIM DILDO DESIGN, YOU WILL NEED TO TRAIN YOUR ANUS FOR PENETRATION AS THE TISSUE IS SOFTER, NOT AS STRETCHABLE AND IS PRONE TO DAMAGE. YOU WANT TO START SMALL AND SLOWLY WORK YOUR WAY UP TO LARGER SIZES AND DON'T FORGET TO BUY SOME ANAL-SAFE LUBE. A STAINLESS STEEL DILDO WITH SILICONE LUBE WILL WORK PARTICULARLY WELL FOR BUTT FUN. 

SQUIRTING DILDO

THE ULTIMATE IN INTERACTIVE BEDROOM PLAY. A SQUIRTING DILDO HAS A HOLLOW TUBE DOWN THE CENTRE THAT ATTACHES TO A RESERVOIR THAT CAN BE FILLED WITH CUM LUBE OR WATER. WHEN THE PLUNGER IS SQUEEZED OR PUSHED THE 'CUM' EJACULATES FROM THE PENIS HEAD. IT REALLY IS THE ULTIMATE FOR INTERNAL STIMULATION.

THERE IS A LARGE COLLECTION OF DILDOS THAT HAVE THIS FEATURE, THE MOST COMMON ARE SILICONE DILDOS THAT CAN BE HANDS-FREE OR ATTACHED TO A HARNESS, NOT THE IDEAL CHOICE OF A DILDO FOR BEGINNERS. 

INFLATABLE DILDOS

THE INFLATABLE DILDO WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED FOR ANAL PENETRATION FOR MEN, IT IS DESIGNED TO BE INSERTED INSIDE AND SLOWLY INFLATED TO INCREASE THE PRESSURE ON THE RECTUM AND STIMULATE THE G-SPOT AND P-SPOT. IT IS EQUALLY POPULAR WITH WOMEN AS IT ALLOWS FOR ANAL PLAY IN A SAFE WAY AS IT IS INSERTED AT A NORMAL SIZE AND THEN INFLATED IN SUCH A WAY AS TO NOT DAMAGE THE INTERNAL TISSUE, THEY ALSO HAVE A QUICK-RELEASE VALVE TO BE ABLE TO REMOVE QUICKLY.
IT IS A GREAT TOY TO CHOOSE IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO START EXPLORING ANAL OR A GOOD TOY TO ENJOY IF YOU WANT TO BE FILLED VAGINALLY AND ENJOY A LARGER SIZE.

VIBRATING DILDOS

HOW CAN A DILDO GET ANY BETTER? ADD VIBRATIONS. WHEN YOU CHOOSE A VIBRATING DILDO YOU GET THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS, A PENIS FOR DEEP STIMULATION PLUS THE ADDED VIBRATIONS FOR WHEN YOU NEED THAT EXTRA CLITORAL STIMULATION. 

MANY MODELS PLACE THE VIBRATOR PART IN THE HEAD OF THE TOY SO YOU CAN ENJOY DEEP INTERNAL VIBES OR EQUALLY USE FOR CLIT STIMULATION, IT IS AN ALL-ROUND CROWD PLEASER.

AS YOU CAN SEE THERE IS A HUGE RANGE OF DILDOS FOR YOU TO CHOOSE FROM, DEPENDING ON YOUR MOOD, IF YOU ARE PLAYING TOGETHER OF SOLO THEN THERE IS DEFINITELY, SOMETHING FOR YOU TO TRY OUT AND ENJOY.
