The day after Thanksgiving is a great day to linger in bed and relax as your body recovers from that extra piece of pie you couldn’t say no to. It’s also a great day to make like a turkey and get stuffed and there’s no better dildo for those of you who like girth than Vixen Creations’ Randy.

The Randy is great for those who love a nice, thick dildo that isn’t uncomfortably long. This short and stout silicone lover will rock your world with a semi-realistic design and flared base for anal and strap on enjoyment.

Made with Vixen Creations special Vixskin finish, the dual density shaft is firm in the center and plushy soft on the outside. Silicone is body-friendly and can be washed with soap and water, or boiled to sterilize. Use only water-based lubricants with this toy for best results.

While Randy is just 6 inches long, the 2 1/8 inch wide girth will blow your mind! It’s great for solo play and absolutely perfect for strap-on sex. Plus, since it’s made out of silicone, you know that you’ll be able to enjoy this fat cock for years to come.

Bend Over Beginner Harness Kit

While the recession seems to be coming to an end, lots of people are still looking for a good bargain, so I thought I would highlight some of my favorite strap-on kits available. While you can obviously buy a separate harness and dildo, you can save a little money by picking up one of these high quality kits.

The Bend Over Beginner Harness Kit from Tantus is great for those of you who are new to strap-on play and unsure where to start. My favorite thing about it is that you get two medical grade silicone cocks to grow with!

The kit features a velvet harness which is comfortable, adjustable (fits up to 60 inch hips), and machine washable. It also comes with an O-ring that can be changed for play with larger dildos as well as a pocket built in that fits a bullet vibe (included). The pocket holds the vibrator in place and allows access to the controls throughout your strap-on experience.

The Bend Over Beginner Kit has two smooth 100% silicone dildos, 7/8 x 4-1/2 and 1-1/4 x 5-1/2 so you can pace your exploration with comfort and safety.

Another great kit is the Bikini Harness and Silicone Dildo Set from Sportsheets. It’s really great for women who want to wield a cock like a bad ass femme fatale because the cut is totally cute.

If you’re looking for a comfortable harness and an quality cock, you need to take a look at the Sportsheets’ Bikini Harness and Dildo Set. The adjustable black harness is built for comfort and accomodates up to a 52 inch waist. Also included is a body safe fuchsia silicone dildo that is non-porous and phthalate-free.

The dong is five inches long, with a 1.25 inch diameter and 4 inch circumference. The harness can be used with any dildo that has a diameter of 1.25 inches.

Of course, there are a ton of other great strap-on kits out there, but these are two I think are fantastic because they are well made and both come with phthalate-free silicone cocks that are sure to last a very long time.

O-Ring Harness

The first thing to consider is whether or not a dildo is compatible with the harness you want to use. There are two basic strap-on systems, the Vac-U-Lock system from Doc Johnson and O-Ring Harnesses.  I personally prefer the O-Ring system because it’s not restricted to one toy company so there’s more variety.  Of course, if you already have a Vac-U-Lock system, don’t worry because they make a wide variety of toys and I’m sure you won’t get bored any time in the near future.

With an O-Ring Harnesses, the dildo is held in place by a ring of plastic, silicone or metal ring that also determines the maximum diameter of the toy used.  If you have a harness with a 1.5 inch o-ring and a dildo with a 2 inch diameter dong, you won’t be able to use them together.  Of course, a number of rigs come with interchangeable o-rings, so you can use different size rings with different dildos.  Since I agree that variety is the spice of life, I think this is a very good thing.

The Mistress By Vixen Creations

Whether you’re thinking about getting your first harness or a seasoned cock slinger, you need a really great dildo to make the most of your strap-on sessions. While a harnesses construction, comfort and effectiveness is really important, you’re not going to maximize the pleasure if you aren’t using the right dick.

Besides size, another really important thing to think about when picking up a new cock for strap-on sex is the design.  If a dildo does not have a flared base like the Mistress pictured here, it will not work with your o-ring harness because there’s nothing to hold it in place!

Of course, you should also consider the material your dong is crafted from.  I’m guessing you’re going to be strapping, so spending a few bucks on a silicone toy that can be sterilized is a great idea.  Silicone is also phthalate-free, hypoallergenic and made to last a lifetime if properly cared for.

If you’re interested in the Vac-U-Lock system, let me tell you a little bit about that.  Doc Johnson’s patented system is known for being really secure.  You don’t have to worry about your dildo slipping out of the harness and it offers a lot of control.  The dildo and harness are connected via their unique plug.

Vac-U-Lock Kit

While the system is very secure, I will remind you once again that it is only compatible with Doc Johnson Vac-U-Lock products. They offer everything from vibrating dongs, to double dildos and monster cocks, so there’s plenty of variety, but it is definitely worth thinking about if you already have a few harness compatible dildos you could incorporate into your strap-on sessions.

Finally, regardless of what kind of harness you decide on, take the time to really think about what kind of dildo you want to use and why. If you’re looking to experiment with pegging for the first time, you’re boy will probably be far more receptive if you start off with a smaller toy. If you love g-spot stimulation, make sure your toy is designed to hit that magic button. Of course, take a little time to think about your sexual well-being and choose toys that are made from quality materials.

Strap-on sex is a ton of fun and a great way to change things up in the bedroom. With a little research and an open mind, you’re in for a great time!

Scrudy by Fun Factory

Having fun with a dildo is really not a difficult thing to do.  But, having a knee shaking, earth quaking session with a dildo requires just a little more attention to details that will create a perfect experience.  Experienced sex toy aficionados will tell you that following these three simple steps will improve your dildo play and make it even more fun than you can imagine.

Step 1 – Select the dildo that accomplishes EXACTLY what you want it to do.  Many times, people select the dildo that they find most visually appealing.  That makes sense because having a dildo that is unappealing isn’t conducive to fun.  But, visual appeal only goes so far in the orgasm department.  Good looks don’t compensate for good feel, or good function.

Know what you want your dildo to stimulate, and how you want to achieve that stimulation before you make a purchase.  Do you want a dildo that fits in a strap on harness?  Do you want G-spot stimulation from a dildo you can attach to the wall while you shower?  Those two notions can’t necessarily be accomplished by the same dildo.  With this decision, you have to remember that form and function are equally important.

Step 2 – With dildos, size matters.  This may seem like an obvious statement, but many people make the mistake of buying a dildo that is either too large, or too small.  Think “just right” when you are shopping for your dildo.  Getting a dildo that is too large can be a painful experience.  Getting one that is too small will deprive you of all of the stimulation you are hoping for.

Getting a dildo that is the right size will give you a satisfying experience that you’ll enjoy over and over.

Step 3 – Maintenance is the key to long term happiness with your dildo.  Washing it before and after use (according to manufacturer’s instructions) will prolong the life of your dildo.  Proper storage is important for preventing damage, or decay.  Another part of this equation is what we call maintenance through proper usage.

Avoid using a dildo for both vaginal and anal play.  If you want both sensations, buy two and keep your body safe!  Avoid sharing dildos made from porous materials, this can lead to infection in some cases.  Also, never use a dildo for anal play that is not designed for anal play.  You don’t want things going in that you can’t get out!

Using these 3 simple steps, you can get the most from your dildo and play time.  Your play time will be more fun and your dildo will last longer.  Both of those benefits are definitely worth a tiny bit of extra care and effort!
