Dildo
Updated:A dildo is a sex toy, typically phallic in shape, designed for sexual penetration or stimulation. Dildos are commonly used for vaginal or anal insertion, but can also be used externally to stimulate other erogenous zones. They come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, colors, and materials like silicone, glass, metal, or rubber.
Additional Information
While often resembling a penis in shape, dildos can also be non-representational and come in abstract designs. Some incorporate textures or curves for added stimulation. Dildos are popular for both solo masturbation and couple's play. They can be used with or without a harness as a strap-on for partner penetration.
It's important to choose body-safe, non-porous materials and to properly clean dildos before and after each use. Using an appropriate lubricant is recommended for comfort and safety, especially for anal use.
