Strap-Ons: What are They?

Strap-Ons are a type of sex toy that can be worn like a real actual penis. The majority of Strap-Ons are sold as harness kits that contain at least one dildo. The Strap-On harnesses go around the waist and upper thigh area, resembling a big belt/thong, and have some extra buckles to keep them from moving around during sexual intercourse and foreplay.

Most Strap-On harnesses have rings that keep the dildo in place. The rubber rings slip around the dildo shift and attach to the harness. There are sometimes exceptions, though. Some of the harnesses have a vacuum seal that gives them a more secure and strong fit. Some Strap-Ons don’t even need a harness. These ones are held into place by a woman’s Kegel muscles.

Most Strap-Ons are made to feel and look like an actual real-life penis. The Strap-On dildos usually have a big flared base with a suction cup/flat bottom. This bottom rests on the harness, while the base prevents the rubber rings from coming off the dildo. While a lot of realistic dildos are compatible, there aren’t any guarantees that it will fit a certain Strap-On harness.

The Way to Use Strap-Ons

Strap-Ons have generally been considered women’s sex toys. A lot of lesbian couples utilize Strap-Ons for penetration as well as stimulation of the G-Spot. Some heterosexual couples use them as well for pegging purposes. Pegging is a practice that reverses the usual bedroom roles: the female uses a Strap-On to be the “top” so she’s able to have anal sex with her “bottom”, the male partner.

Recently, straight men with erectile dysfunction have started to use Strap-Ons to satisfy partners. Those men who are not satisfied with penis size and begun using Strap-Ons as well, which makes for a stronger and more reliable performance than penis extensions/sleeves. Sex toy companies have been producing dildos specifically for men – these dildos are hollowed out so they fit over a penis more comfortable.
