My girlfriend asked me recently if it was safe to use a dildo. It made me really giggle because I think the real question is more about is it safe and pleasurable. Personally, I would say yes, it is definitely safe to use and very pleasurable too. I have heard other people say that using a dildo can be dangerous, but I think they are just more likely attempting to pass off their own unfounded fears.

To start off, let me just say that the safety of using a dildo is determined by the kind of material it is made from. Dildos that are made from body-safe materials such as silicone or stainless steel are considered to be incredibly safe. Furthermore, as long as you use the dildo as intended, then it won’t cause any physical damage to you. Yes, I’m sure some of you would argue that because it can jab you, hurting you, but if you use it with proper care then it won’t.

In terms of pleasure, using a dildo can be really enjoyable. Who doesn’t like the feeling of something inside their body? From my experience, it just feels like a much more saturated version of a hand. If you’re looking to have some solo fun, then a dildo can be the perfect companion. Everyone is different and different sizes and shapes will evoke pleasurable feelings for different people. If you want to experience a more intense feeling, then opt for a bigger dildo. I’d recommend giving the small ones a try first so that you can gauge the intensity, then you can decide if you want to go bigger or not.

Using a dildo can also enhances foreplay between partners. When used with your partner, dildos can be the perfect way to add a bit of spice into the bedroom. Some people use them during oral sex too, which can be really enjoyable for both the giver and the receiver. I have heard that using a dildo in the missionary position can be great for both partners.

Dildos are also some of the most available and affordable sex toys on the market. This means that they represent a great value for money option. No matter your budget, you should be able to find something that works for you. Now when it comes to cleaning the toy it is important to make sure your sanitation game is on point. Many of the more expensive toys on the market come with their own cleaning products, and for cheaper toys, make sure you clean them with hot water and anti-bacterial soap.

Going back to the ‘is it safe to use a dildo’ debate, the answer is a resounding yes. As long as you make sure that you go for a dildo that is made from body-safe materials and use it sensibly then you should have no problem. You can reap the benefits of all the pleasure that a dildo has to offer and also experience all the connections that the dildo can offer to you and your partner.

So if you’re considering using a dildo and vibrators are a bit apprehensive, fear not! It’s really an individual experience and you can find whatever works for you. As long as you take the necessary precautions, you should remain safe and have an enjoyable experience. Feel free to experiment with different sizes, shapes, and speeds as you become accustomed to the feel of the dildo. After a few sesssion, you will soon get the hang of it and you won’t be able to imagine not having a dildo in your life!
