Strap on dildos are not new. Actually, they are one of the earliest evidence of the use of sex toys in ancient societies. There are described in writings from ancient China and are mentioned in the Kama Sutra. The early Greeks used them and the early French even had double-penetration dildos. There are 19^th century paintings of the strap on dildo in use just as there are clear documentations of its use in Zanzibar at the same period. In fact, as far back as the Stone Age, there are artifacts discovered of what unmistakably are dildos that can be worn.

Over the years, the strap on dildo has changed both in construction and in material. The pleasure it gives, thankfully hasn’t. Strap on dildos are classified either according to the harness with which they are attached or the dildo itself.

Classifications by the dildo include Standard (non-tapered shaft, enlarged penis-like head and slight curved), Probe (narrow, highly tapered and recommended for first-time users), G-spot or Prostrate (curved in body and sharply curved upward at the head so as to stimulate the g-spot in women and the prostate in men), Textured (bulbs, bumps, ribs are found on the length of such types), Vibrating and Rotating (these have rotating beads near the head, wiggling and/or vibrating shafts), Double Penetration (essentially two dildos constructed on a common base and meant for simultaneous anal and vaginal penetration), Extensions (hollow dildos worn over the penis to extend the perceived length) and dildos with special functions.

By harness type, strap on dildos can be classified as two-strap (fashioned like a g-string with one strap around the wearer’s waist and the other going in between the legs, connecting at the lower back), three-strap (one strap around the waist and one strap each around the leg leaving the genitals and anus uncovered), Corsets (or any other piece of lingerie with the dildo attached to the piece of clothing) and dildos strapped onto other body parts apart from the genitals and even on everyday objects.

The materials from which the harnesses in strap on dildos are made differ and can be selected based on convenience and individual preferences. Common materials include leather, cloth, latex, PVC, rubber, plastic and leather-like synthetic materials. Leather is strong, durable and comfortable for most people but can be difficult to clean.

Leather-like synthetic materials retain some of the strength of leather and are just as durable and a lot easier to clean. Cloth harnesses are used to strap on dildos to corsets and other lingerie items; they are inexpensive but are not always suited. Soft plastic harnesses can come in different colors and are quite inexpensive and easy to clean even though less comfortable. Latex harnesses are flexible and elastic but need special care and don’t last as long as other types.

Strap on dildos can also be differentiated by the method of attaching the dildos to the straps. Common configurations include Ring and Wide base: this is the commonest and uses a leather or steel ring to attach a dildo with a wide base. The advantage here is that different dildos of different sizes and constructions can be substituted using the same harness. However, this arrangement can make for loose fittings and may not be suited for special dildo types.

Another attachment method is by vacuum seal: this uses a matching plug to attach the harness to the hollowed base of the dildo. Such strap on dildos are firmly secure but dildo selection is limited. Strapless configuration uses an egg-shaped bulb for the vaginal or anus to hold in the dildo. This can be difficult to master but when found convenient for both partners can make for spontaneous dildo use. A One-piece latex system has the dildo permanently fitted into a molded latex straps. This is simple but can be uncomfortable and the dildo cannot be swapped.

Strap on dildos can be used by women to give anal penetration to men and other women or to give vagina penetration to women. Men can also use them go give women double penetration. The number of ways in which strap on dildos can be used make them eminently important for attaining the best sensual experience.

They free the hands to provide added sensual caresses, leverage the hip thrusts, provide double penetration, extend orgasms, compensate for erectile dysfunction, encourage sensual role-reversals, deepen intimacy between couples and redefine eroticism.

There are a number of sex toys on the market, but if you are new to sex toys or how to use them-knowing which to buy can be very overwhelming and confusing. There are thousands of sex toys-all for different purposes, pleasure, and types of people.
Take the anal vibrator, for instance. What is it for, how is it used, and how do you maintain an anal vibrator, if this is the sexual toy you decide upon. In the following article, we will discuss all that you need to know about anal vibrators, so you can know if this is the right product for you and/or your partner.



To begin, though you may have heard the term anal vibrator, do you actually know what it is and how to use it? Probably not. Anal vibrators are one kind of sex toy that is focused on the stimulation of the anal area of the body. It is similar to a standard vibrator that many women use to stimulate their vaginal area-and is phallic shaped, yet more streamlined and wider at the base than the tip.
These anal vibrators are inserted into the anal cavity and they vibrate to cause a pleasurable anal stimulation associated with sex.

Though many seem to confuse anal dildos with anal vibrators, there is a glaring difference.

Most often than not, anal dildos are simple and shaped like a penis; whereas the anal vibrator is wider at the base to avoid getting stuck in the rectum. Moreover, anal vibrators are much smaller than average dildos and typically are only 4-6 inches long and one inch thick. Anal vibrators are typically built with more stimulating effects for the consumer, to include: pulsating, rotation, and/or vibrating; and usually have a lot of different speed and levels for customized use and enjoyment.



There are also three main styles of anal vibrators: butt plugs, anal dildos, and anal beads.

Depending on the convenience and preference of these vibrators for you and/or your partner; you will find one of these that gives you the right kind of anal sexual stimulation. If you are interested or even just curious about anal vibrators; it is important to explore your options with all of these types, as one will inevitably suit you and/your partner better than the others.


Who uses them? It really depends. It is a common choice for gay men couples, as well as heterosexual couples wanting to add a new level of pleasure to their relationship. Anyone could benefit from the use of the right kind of anal vibrator, if anal stimulation is enjoyable to them, and/or their partner.

The use of an anal vibrator is as simple as you might think-clean and insert into the anus and turn the product on. Once used, you will want to make sure you take strict attention to properly and thoroughly cleaning your anal vibrator, however; as improper cleaning could cause health problems.



The biggest problem with cleaning of your anal vibrators is that many vibrators are made of porous materials, which are prone to holding onto bacteria, no matter how thoroughly you may clean your device. This said, it is best to get a vibrator that is made of more quality materials, such as metal, hard plastic, or silicone, to avoid containing bacteria forever in your device. Another option is to use a condom on the device every time it is used to ensure bacteria is not transferred.

So, how do you clean your anal vibrator?

The best advice depends on the material of device. Most often, you will want to clean your anal vibrators with warm water and antibacterial soap. If the device is made of silicone, it can be put in boiling waters for at least two minutes. Toys made of rubber should always be used with condoms, as they are porous.

This said, it is very important that your battery operated anal vibrators should not be submerged in water while cleaning, but instead cleaned under running water without getting any water inside the device.

Discrete shopping is important when buying adult toys and adult toys online stores recognize this. Dedicated adult stores online are the best choice when looking to buy your adult toys. They are better than your local adult toy shops because of the convenience, privacy, range of products and lower prices they offer. They are also better than general online stores because they are able to tailor their offerings and services to the specialty adult toy market. For the discerning buyer, they represent the best places to shop.


Every dedicated adult toys online store is different from the others. Where you buy adult toys online should offer more than just the promise of privacy and more than a few selections of adult toys. Granted that some quite good adult toy online stores only offer products from certain brands, there is nothing like have a virtual shelf with as broad a selection as possible.
When looking for where to shop for your adult toys online, you should look out for a few things. The first of such is mentioned above: the range of the selection of their adult toy products and the prices of these too.
 The ideal online adult toy shop should cater for both men and women; not only should sex toys for both gender be on sale but for each sex toy, differently priced, different designed versions must be available from different manufacturers. Dildos come in different shapes and sizes; variety is important: it makes it much likelier that you will find the sex toy appropriate and fitted to your needs.
Availability of sex toys of different brands also will provide price options. You may want to splurge on C-rings but not on vibrators. An adult shop with options makes it easy to do a one-stop shopping.

The shopping experience should also be taken into consideration.

• Choose adult toys online stores that provide the best privacy. This does not necessarily translate into the ones that ask for the least information.
• Expect to give your name, credit card details, e-mail address, phone number and shipping/billing address.
• The best online adult toys stores will provide a guarantee of not selling your information to third parties. Similarly, they will refrain from calling you except after you ask them to.
• Communication including your receipt, status of order and any customer service thereafter should be provided via e-mail.
• Make sure that the adult toys online store where you shop provides adequate security for your information and transactions.
• The indicators for these are the SSL certificates of the website (look out for 256-bit encryption represented by a padlock and commonly verified by VeriSign or similar) and a shield of protection from a reputed antivirus company. These security measures are actually common in online stores and you can crosscheck their availability by looking for them on the web page before submitting your order.
  
  
  

• Another important part of the shopping experience with adult toys online stores you should consider is the shipping policy. Discrete shipping should be preferred and it relates to shipping your sex toy purchases in packages that are not obvious for such but rather those used for everyday shipping. Simple boxes will do and in most cases, adult toys online stores don’t put the obvious sex toy-related names you see on their websites on the package label.
• In addition, look out for the stores’ return policies. Often, returning a sex toy is a much more private act for online stores than for your local adult store. It only requires that you package your purchase and send it back to the mailing address after duly informing the store about the return.

Most online adult toy stores will provide full refunds for damaged and misrepresented sex toys but not for any other kind of return. The reason for not refunding all returns is the nature of adult toys. Most adult toy online stores do not refurbish these toys and, should you not like the toys purchased, it is assumed that they are already used and are, therefore, destroyed upon return.
 You should actually prefer this feature not only because it is required by law but also to assure that the toys you buy from such stores have never been used by anyone and are, therefore, healthy and wholesome for your use.

In conclusion, make sure your adult toy purchases are made from trustworthy online stores. Dedicated online adult toy stores are preferable.
When submitting your information, be assured that you are entering into a private contract and that your details are safe. You should provide accurate billing/shipping and email addresses too. That is the only way to guarantee receiving your order and processing a return and refund should the need arise.

It can be observed throughout nature that two entities that are classified as complete opposites of each other can coexist and thrive to meet on a common point, such as pain and pleasure. How differently defined these two terms are and yet can be seen in action during anal sex. Bounties of pleasure lie in this practice and are observed in a variety of different methods.

Anal sex doesn’t necessarily mean penetrating your partner’s anus with your penis, the anal sphincter muscle can be stimulated using less painful and more provocative methods.



Doctors recommend the use of lubricants excessively while engaging in anal sex because the sphincter muscle tends to contract when it pressed from the outside causing pain, the use of lubricants eases this contraction and the use of a finger to open up the anus will eventually cause the muscle to dilate making it less painful for the recipient.

Anal lubricants are a guarantee that everything will go on smoothly that there will be more pleasure than pain, after being lubricated the anus becomes sensitive to the slightest of touch. Rimming the anus, will leave tickles all over the body causing an uncontrollable urge for anal sex.

Moving straight to anal sex without first exercising the sphincter muscle is strongly not recommended, it is advised that you practice with anal beads before penetration; this routine is also known to be an effective form of foreplay as it gives the sensation of contact without your genitals being involved.

As you gain maturity of control on your sphincter with practice, you can move on to the big guns a.k.a butt plugs. Why not the real thing you ask, to prevent certain health risks as it is crucial to gradually develop a level of comfort with you anus before having a penis put into it. A butt plug inserted in the rectum during intercourse will give you a taste of what anal sex can do for you!

After you grow comfortable with butt plugs you may try an anal vibrator compared to their vaginal counter parts they are smaller in size. Their vibrations can give you a demo of what the compression of a real penis inside your rectum may feel like, thus giving you a taste and preparing you for the real thing. Known to bubble up the excitement of anal intercourse, anal vibrators are definitely a must in my books. Because of its availability in so many variations, whether it be color size or shape these anal sex toys can be pleasing for the immature of anal pleasure seekers.

Here is my advice:

Before having anal try the smaller things and slowly move on to bigger and more alluring toys before you can let the real thing slide.
