Anal Dildos

Anal dildos are often penis-like anal sex toys that get penetrated in the anus during masturbation and sexual intercourse by one or more people of either gender. Their look, size and shape mostly resemble that of a penis. However, they don’t vibrate and some do not appear exactly like a penis.

Also, anal dildos have a flared base or a cord to prevent them from getting stuck in the anus.

You can be heterosexual, homosexual or bisexual to use a dildo and must be ready for a sexual adventure. They can either be used by themselves or with a harness, making it a strap-on dildo.

You and whoever else is going to have dildo fun must answer a few questions in order to see what type of anal dildo to purchase:

• Will you be the only user of the dildo? Or will you use your dildos with your partner(s)?
  
• Would you like one with a harder feel? Or would you want to use one that has a softer touch?
  
• Would the use of a penis resembling toy turn you and/or your partner(s) on? Or would a smaller and smooth dildo that does not have the look of a penis?
  
• Would you be willing to spend a lot of time cleaning your toy with warm water and mild soap or a specialized adult toy cleaner? Or do you just not want much effort into cleaning and just use regular dish soap?
  
• Do I live in a state where the use of sex toys is illegal? You can find out what states have these laws by seeing the article Anal Sex Toys and the Law.

For anal play, there are certain shapes that are more appropriate since some dildos are designed to stimulate the male’s prostate, thus making him have multiple orgasms.

These are not new inventions. They have been around since the time of the Greeks when husbands gave their wives olisbos (the Greek term for dildos) when they went to war so they would not be lonely. These older dildos were made of rough materials such as stone and wood.

Later, dildos made of leather with cotton filled inside, as well as rubber dildos with a steel spring on the inside for stiffness came about and became popular with users. However, the steel spring inside of the rubber ones started hurting users after the rubber came apart.

The current popular materials that dildos come in today vary in price, look and texture.

Stainless steel, which is used mainly by BDSM lovers. These are not very flexible and can be uncomfortable.

PVC, which is an inexpensive plastic that both makes up the outside and fills the inside. The flaws of this material include it having that unattractive plasticy aroma and the fact that it cannot be sterilized.

Jelly rubber, which has the same qualities as PVC toys.

Silicone, which is now the most popular material. They have gone down in price because of their popularity and can be sterilized easily. This is recommended to a first time user.

Pyrex, which is expensive and inflexible, but can be easily heated to body temperature for an extra sensation other dildos can’t give to you.

Cyberskin, which resembles the feel of real skin, but cannot be sterilized and gets sticky after washing. They are also very prone to rips and tears.
