Beginner's Guide to Strap-On Sex

There are lots of reasons you might want to play with a strap-on. For instance, you may want to: 


Before jumping in, take steps to get more comfortable with the equipment and the idea of strap-on sex: 

1. Get on the Same Page

Before using the strap-on, you'll want to chat with your partner about it to share your interests and concerns and make sure you are both on the same page.

Are you interested in role reversal? Face-to-face penetration? Are you worried it will be awkward or uncomfortable? Set some parameters upfront to put both of you at ease.

2. Get Supplies

There are a wide variety of harnesses available, from fancy expensive leather options, to affordable (and washable!) nylon. They even make harnesses that pull on just like underwear, so there’s something for just about every taste and body.

For dildos, you'll want to use a high quality silicone toy. If you’re aiming for G-spot stimulation, consider a dildo with a pronounced curve.

3. Experiment with the Dildo First

If you aren't used to masturbating with a dildo, try using it on your own before adding the harness. How does penetration feel to you? How does the dildo feel? What angles work best for you?

4. Practice Wearing the Strap-on

Wearing a harness can take some practice. Men have their whole lives to get used to their penis, so it's worth spending some time alone with the harness to get more comfortable.

Try wearing when you are doing chores around the house. How does it feel on your body? Does it bring up strange feelings about gender or feel comfortable for you? It's okay if it feels strange!

5. Mix Up Positions

Thrusting can be tiring, so you'll want to switch things up to last longer and experiment with positions.

Try alternating between the receiver and the wearer doing more of the movement.

6. Embrace the Awkward

You might feel silly wearing a strap-on. You might get tired of thrusting. You might go for a long time, or just a few minutes.

It takes a while to get comfortable with a strap-on, which is completely normal. Try to embrace the awkwardness and enjoy experimenting with a new tool.

Have fun! 🍆
