1. Do large sex toys hurt?
Sex toys, large or small, should not hurt. In fact, they design sex toys to hit the exact pleasure spots.
Now, if it’s your first time using a large toy, you are bound to experience some level of discomfort or burning sensation. But it should not hurt or make you bleed.
If it hurts, don’t force it. This means you’re not prepping enough. Your body will not be able to take it until you relax enough.
You need to prep it in other ways, like with other types of foreplay first.
Go crazy on the lube. Use way more than you think you need.
2. Are dildos only for women? Will enjoying a dildo make me gay or bisexual?
Dildos are for whoever wants to use them. It has nothing to do with your sexual orientation.
The prostate gland is pretty much the G-spot in men. It’s not absurd to enjoy the feeling of something hitting there.
Some men even like it when women penetrate them with a strap-on. It’s simply one more dimension to your couple's play.
3. Will I break my hymen if I use a dildo?
A hymen doesn’t exactly break. It’s a flexible tissue, meaning it can stretch and tear, but it doesn’t break.
According to Dr. Renita F. White, a gynecologist at Georgia Obstetrics and Gynecology, your hymen will stretch and tear with certainty if you have penetrative vaginal sex. Some may bleed while others with particularly thin hymen tissue might not.
In fact, there are people with vaginas who do not have a hymen at all. But if you do have a hymen, it will tear if you use a dildo.
Your hymen could tear from non-sexual activities too. People end up tearing their hymen while wearing a tampon or riding a bicycle.
4. Will using a large dildo stretch out my vagina permanently?
No, using a large dildo won’t stretch out your vagina permanently. It won’t happen if you insert a sex toy in your mouth or your anus, why would it happen to your vagina?
Human bodies are elastic. When you use a dildo, it stretches you out temporarily.
5. Are vibrators and dildos the same thing?
No, while the sex toys often overlap, all dildos are not vibrators. A dildo is also a vibrator when it comes with a motor.
Vibrators are more diverse in shape and function. They can be for both internal and external use. Meanwhile, dildos are for internal use. But, if you are using a vibrating dildo, you might like using it externally too.
There is no right or wrong way to play with a sex toy as long as you maintain safety practices.
6. Where can I buy a giant dildo, and what should I look for in a retailer?
Dildos have an obvious design. Anyone has to take one look at a dildo to know it’s a sex toy. Even the most innocent person you know.
So, when you are ordering a giant dildo from an online retailer, you want to look up their shipping policy. Make sure they don’t use the company name or the product name on the label.
Discreet shops like XOXTOYS even make sure your credit card statement doesn’t show the shop name.
7. Can I travel with a giant dildo, and are there any tips for doing so discreetly?
Dildos don’t exactly make for a discreet toy. If you keep it in your carry-on bag while traveling, there’s a good chance security might stop you depending on the material of the dildo.
But you can place it inside your luggage without any issue. Vibrating dildos like the Fun Factory Stronic Real Pulsator also come with a lock feature. You don’t have to worry about accidentally turning the dildo on.
For vibrating dildos, make sure to take out the batteries if they are removable.
8. How do I choose the right lubricant for my giant dildo?
Giant dildos are at least 3 to 4 inches more in length than regular dildos. You want to use as much lube as possible for a smooth glide. And you want the lube to be particularly slippery.
So, while water-based lubes are a safe choice, silicone and oil-based lubes make the most sense for giant dildos. They don’t dry off easily, so you could take your time with the toy.
Of course, if you have a silicone toy, you should go for an oil-based lube. But if the toy is made of latex, go for silicone lube like the Sliquid Silver Personal Lubricant.
Hybrid lubes are also a good option, especially if you want the slick quality of silicone without the greasiness. The System JO Classic Hybrid Lubricant is one long-lasting, paraben-free hybrid lube.
9. Are there specific techniques for more comfortable insertion of a giant dildo?
Most people don’t have much luck inserting a giant dildo on their first try. You have to work your way up. Start with smaller dildos and increase the length once you feel comfortable with the current length.
By working your way up, it will remove much of the fear the idea of inserting a giant dildo will normally instill in you. The next step is to make sure you do adequate foreplay and feel genuinely relaxed before you try inserting one.
According to Sammi Cole, a sex expert, there are two techniques for inserting a giant dildo that have the best results.
You can lie on your back with a pillow underneath you, raise your legs, and spread them while inserting the toy. The position allows you to get a better grip on the dildo.
Another thing you can do is lower yourself onto the dildo. You can control the insertion better this way.
Overall, make sure to pause, relax, and rest while you are trying to insert a giant dildo. If you feel any kind of pain, it’s okay to abort the mission and try next time.
Final Thoughts
Remember, manufacturers design sex toys to deliver maximum pleasure. The giant dildos, if not for the intimidating length, are not supposed to hurt you.
You’re more likely to hurt yourself from the fear of pain and by clamming up than due to the size of the toy. Take your time with it and don’t force yourself to insert the entire length the first time.
If you feel like you are ready to try one, the Blush Avant Indigo D12 Suko Dildo is a good first-time giant dildo.
