Strap-on play is gaining popularity, with its presence on social media and in movies like Deadpool piquing curiosity. Strap-ons offer a world of sexual empowerment, role reversal, gender affirmation, and solutions for erectile dysfunction — they're for everyone, regardless of sexual or gender identity.
Our guide aims to demystify your first strap-on experience, providing an honest and non-intimidating approach to choosing and using strap-ons.
A strap-on is a wearable dildo or vibrator attached to a harness, special underwear, or directly inserted as a 'strapless' option. Understand the different types of harnesses, underwear, and dildos available, and how they cater to various preferences, including those with penises. The selection of strap-ons is highly personal and should consider the desires and comfort of all partners involved.
It's normal to feel unsure about using a strap-on for the first time. Practice wearing it alone, moving around, and getting comfortable with it on your body. This will help it feel like an extension of yourself and build confidence for partner play. Even practicing thrusting and grinding on inanimate objects can help you find your rhythm.
When you're ready to introduce the strap-on to partner play, communication is key. Start with positions that allow the receiving partner to control the pace and depth. Always use plenty of lube for comfort, and remember to clean your strap-on after use. Be patient with yourself — confidence with strap-on play comes with practice.
