What is a Dildo? Questions, Answers, Advice and Tips. Part 3 of 3.

How do I use a dildo safely?

You can probably guess that dildos are not the most difficult sex toys to use. Nonetheless, if dildos are not used properly then they can cause harm or discomfort.

Sharing dildos

Virtually all dildos are made from a porous substance (i.e. rubber, jelly, wood) and these materials can collect infected semen, blood, urine or vaginal discharge. When a person shares a dildo, they risk sharing infections and STDs as well. Whenever you are using dildos with multiple partners you should cover the dildo with a condom. Change the condom after every partner.

Keeping it clean

If you are using a dildo with a regular partner with whom you feel safe, then the precautions focus on keeping your dildo clean. A regular washing with soap and water can keep the dildo fairly clean. Silicone dildos do not have a porous surface, and therefore they do not have the same propensity to collect fluids. 

When using a dildo by yourself or with a partner make sure you wash the dildo thoroughly after each use. If you are moving from the vagina to the mouth or other part of the body, make sure that you wash the dildo well in between uses. Warm, soapy water is the best way to wash your dildo. Silicone dildos can be boiled to eradicate any infected fluids.

The anus contains bacteria that could be harmful to the rest of your body. Before using a dildo anally, always cover it with a condom. Remove the condom after each use. Whether with an old or new partner, it's important to protect your toys from the bacteria found in the rectum.

Keeping it wet

Whenever using a dildo, lubricant is a must. Ensure that you use a liberal amount of the slippery stuff, both on the dildo and in the vagina or anus. Lubricant allows for smooth and comfortable insertion and will aid in stimulation. A water-based lubricant is absolutely necessary for anal penetration because the inside of the rectum tends to be sticky. Without lubricant you can tear the delicate tissues on the rectal lining or find it difficult to remove.

Respecting your partner

When using a dildo be respectful of yourself and your partner’s body. Dildos should be carefully because sudden pressure can cause discomfort. Always take it slow, speeding up as you feel more comfortable. For safe vaginal penetration, make sure that the dildo follows the natural path of the vagina. When using a dildo anally, go very slow following the natural curvature of the rectum. If at any moment you experience any discomfort, slowly remove or readjust the massager.

Using a dildo is supposed to be fun and enjoyable. Solitary experimentation is a good place to start; you can determine which part of the dildo feels best to you. Report your findings to your partner. Once your partner knows what you like, it will be much easier to satisfy you.

You may also choose to use your dildo in combination with other toys. Try out some combinations for yourself.
