How to Use a Dildo?

As a certified member of the millennial club, I’ve seen some wild and crazy changes in the sex industry.

Back in my day, we had to get creative and experiment with everything, even with frozen bananas for temperature play (yep, you heard that right – and here you’ll find more crazy ideas)). But hey, at least our imaginations were on point!

As a proud owner of a wide range of toys, from the classic to the high-tech, I must admit that sometimes old is gold!

So let’s give a shoutout to the good old dildos, the pioneers who paved the way for our pleasure since the dawn of time, and discuss all the creative ways to play with them.

How to Insert a Dildo?

Let’s start by giving the head of your dildo a nice, thorough coating of lube.

Use your hand to twist and spread the lube around the top half of the shaft. Apply some lube to your finger and gently rim your vaginal opening.

Don’t forget the outer and inner labia give some love with a good coating of lube.

Use your index and middle fingers to spread your labia open and really get in there with the lube.

Slowly push the dildo in and out to spread the moisture evenly. Twist the shaft with your hand to really get things going.

How to Use a Dildo for the First Time?

Before you bring the dildo to bed, you better give it a test run solo.

You’ll thank yourself later for not feeling like a nervous wreck when trying to get your rocks off with your partner.

Plus, when you’re flying solo, you can truly focus on how it feels without any distractions.

To get in the mood for some self-lovin’, create a comfy and intimate atmosphere with dim lights, sexy tunes, or an erotic movie.

And don’t be afraid to switch up your position during the action.

Make your body your playground, and let your fantasies fly high!

But if you’re not feeling like a solo act, invite your partner to join the party and let them take the reins of the toy for a while – double the fun!

Experiment with different speeds and positions, and don’t forget to add some lube to make things even smoother.

And if you wonder what toy to start with, we’ve got you covered – you’ll find them in our best beginner dildo guide!

How to Masturbate with a Dildo?

Creating the right atmosphere is essential. Get yourself a sexy blanket, light some candles, and slip into some sultry lingerie.

Make sure to lube that bad boy up real good; Nobody got time for dryness down there. And don’t skimp on the lube, especially if you’re exploring the backdoor.

Make sure to do your research when choosing the right lube. You don’t want to ruin your toy with the wrong stuff.

But if you’re feeling extra spicy, add in some tingling or burning sensations for a wild ride.

And let’s not forget about trying different positions; get creative with a sex toy mount or suction cup dildo, take it to the shower, and alternate between stimulating your clit and G-spot (mmm… or maybe P-spot?) for some mind-blowing orgasms.

How to Use it During Couple Play?

Kissing couple

Using a dildo during couple play can be a fun and exciting way to explore each other’s bodies and enhance your sexual experiences.

Here are some juicy deets on how to use your dildo for all kinds of stimulation and situations:

For temperature play

Dip that bad boy in warm water for a bit, or pop it in the fridge for a few (just don’t leave it in the icebox, or you might ruin the goods).

Start with a comfortable temperature and gradually increase or decrease as desired.

For G-spot stimulation

Choose the best dildo for you to reach the G-spot better.

Use a water-based lubricant to help the dildo glide smoothly.

We really liked Vixskin Johnny for G-spot stimulation. Read our review of the dildo!

For A-spot stimulation

The A-spot, also known as the anterior fornix, is located deep inside the vagina, just above the cervix.

Choose a long dildo with a curved or angled tip to reach the A-spot.

Use a water-based lubricant to help the dildo glide smoothly.

Insert the dildo and start experimenting.

For prostate stimulation

Choose a dildo with a curved or angled tip to better reach the prostate.

Use a water-based lubricant to help the dildo glide smoothly.

Insert the dildo slowly and gently, being mindful of your/ your partner’s comfort.

Experiment with different angles and depths until you find what feels pleasurable for you.

For anal play

Use a dildo with a flared base to prevent it from getting stuck inside the anus.

Use a water-based lubricant to help the dildo glide smoothly. Start with a smaller one and gradually increase the size.

Go slowly and communicate with your partner throughout the process to ensure their comfort and pleasure.

For blowjob

To enhance oral play, try using the B.J. Dildo. This specialized toy is specifically crafted for blowjobs and features a hollow center, as well as openings at the base and tip to provide additional suction.

To use it, the wearer can fasten the dildo in place with a harness, allowing the receiver to enjoy the suction sensation by either sucking on the tip or squeezing the dildo.

Adjusting the speed and pressure lets you discover what works best for both partners.

For double penetration

Use a special dildo with one end for the vagina and the other end for anal stimulation.

Use a water-based lubricant to help the dildos glide smoothly.

Communicate with your partner throughout the process to ensure their comfort and pleasure.

With harness

Use a dildo specifically designed for use with a harness with a flared base to secure it in place.

Choose a strap on that fits securely and comfortably around your waist and thighs.

Use a water-based lubricant to help the dildo glide smoothly.

Experiment with different positions and angles until you find what feels pleasurable for you and your partner.

Best Dildo-Using Techniques

Once you’re fully warmed up, then it’s time to try out some of these very pleasurable techniques.

1. Deep Thrusting

This technique involves thrusting your dildo along the entire length of vagina. It can provide intense stimulation, especially with a textured dildo.

To perform this action, you need a dildo with a firm core that’s not too bendy.

Avoid overly soft dildos, and opt for a smoother or curved one instead of a heavily textured one.

2. Shallow and Rapid Strokes

You don’t have to thrust deeply to experience the most pleasure during solo play. Most sensitive nerve endings exist in the first 1/3 of vagina.

Short and rapid strokes are an alternative to deep thrusting, and they may be easier on your wrists.

Don’t feel obligated to insert the full length of the dildo if it’s uncomfortable. Instead, use the extra length to grasp the dildo better.

3. Keep on Turning

You can use a juicer dildo that comes with cranks and turns around after insertion.

Most dildos will work with this motion, but be mindful of sharp angles that may be uncomfortable.

4. Twisting Motion

A twisting motion involves rotating your dildo after it’s inserted.

This technique is similar to keeping on turning, and it’s also best to avoid sharp angles.

5. Milk the G-spot

This technique involves dragging the top part of the dildo across your G-spot as you pull outward.

Gently press the dildo against the upper part of your vaginal walls as you slide it back in.

You’ll experience intense stimulation with rigid toys made from glass, wood, or metal.

Consider purchasing a dildo with a curve specifically for G-spot stimulation.

6. Filling Feeling

This technique involves inserting a comfortable dildo and keeping it there while you stimulate your clitoris to orgasm.

The toy can enhance your orgasm even if it remains in the same place.

You can press down on your lower stomach with your hand(s) to push your G-spot deeper into your vagina for an even more filling feeling.
