10 delicious reasons why you should use a dildo
As we transition into a more open-minded society that simply loves talking about sex (and how to make it better), people’s general attitudes towards sex toys has improved massively - and I’m here for it. Gone are the days of relying on a partner, and that partner alone, to help you reach climax. Instead, the nation now has their eyes set on a playmate that will never break your heart: dildos. With there being enough variations of this artificial playmate to fill your home, you could be depriving yourself of a whole lot of fun if you haven’t yet invested in one. If you’re on the fence and wondering whether to take your mates’ opinions as fact, I’m here to share all of the delightfully delicious, tried and tested reasons why you (definitely) should use a dildo.
1) Talking about sex
Using a dildo creates the space for conversation, whether that be with your mates, with your partner, or otherwise. Being previously regarded as taboo, discussions surrounding sex and sex toys is now welcomed, especially after the emergence of numerous sex positive socieites. People are now encouraged to open up wherever possible, sharing their thoughts, concerns or worries about anything encountered on their sexual endeavours - all of which helps others who may be experiencing similar feelings. This all contributes to normalising the topic (although it’s been a long time coming).
2) A satisfying sex life
The sole purpose of a dildo is to satisfy, regardless of where and how you choose to use it. If you’re running out of new and inventive ways to use your hands, and want to experience a load of other sensations, using a dildo is the way to go. With a whole range of materials to choose from - from glass dildos to silicone dildos - and the ability to experiment with different textures and curvatures, you can rely on your new toy to hit all the right spots (without risk of your fingers or hand going numb). Orgasming has never been easier!
3) Get to know yourself
Self-exploration with a dildo is only going to produce positive results, both from a satisfaction point of view, and in familiarising yourself with your turn-ons and turn-offs. Perhaps you’ve got a secret huge dildo fetish that you haven’t yet explored, or maybe there’s a particular thrusting technique that really gets you going. Linking in with my first point, these findings will create conversation, allowing you to communicate your dos and don'ts to a partner for a brilliant bang.
4) Improving intimacy
For those in relationships, a dildo could be just what you need to turn up the heat in the bedroom. Particularly where long-term couples are concerned, making the time for intimacy often doesn’t appear in the diary, and unfortunately it’s all too easy to get comfortable and prioritise other things over your sex life. However, finding new and interesting ways to experiment may reignite the flame, whilst allowing you to uncover preferences that may otherwise have never come to light. It’s likely that your partner will have changed since you first had sex, so by welcoming a new artificial playmate into the picture, you’ll be ensuring that the both of you are completely satisfied.
5) Boosting your self-confidence
It’s important to remember that self-confidence and sexual-confidence often go hand-in-hand, so for those who experience a lack of self-esteem, you may find yourself prioritising a partner’s sexual needs over your own. Building up your confidence will take time, but there’s no better place to start than being alone in your bedroom, with dildo in hand. Respect and listen to your body, getting to know your sexual desires throughout your self-exploration journey. You could even prop a mirror up in front of you to see exactly what you’re doing, and how hot you look whilst doing it - who says you can’t turn yourself on? And with our range of fetish wear and lingerie, it’s impossible to not look good (and ooze confidence) whilst doing so.
6) A better night’s sleep
Did you know that using a dildo can help you get a better night’s sleep? Yet another reason why you should expand your sex toy collection, the release of the feel good and sedative hormone, oxytocin, upon climax stimulates sleep. The production of cortisol is also decreased during this process, which is the hormone associated with stress. So, if you’re looking for a natural remedy for stress relief and for catching some zzz’s, you’ve found the perfect solution.
7) Boosting your libido
Dildos and other sex toys will benefit you not just in the short-term, but for years to come. Allowing the user to hit climax often within seconds, these gadgets increase blood flow to your sensitive areas to produce a toe-curling, orgasm-inducing sensations like no other. Especially when partnered with other sex toys, such as a trusty vibrator for double the stimulation, the desire to delve into your toy box will be almost impossible to resist.
8) Heart health
An orgasm contributes to a healthy heart by reducing stress levels and lowering blood pressure. Alongside this, let’s all remember that sex is still a form of exercise - and what better way to burn off that pack of doughnuts than with some frisky fun?
9) Pain relief
By this point, there really isn’t any reason why you shouldn’t be browsing the web in search of your dream dildo. However, for any migraine sufferers or menstruating individuals out there, did you know that an orgasm can actually double your pain tolerance? I’m not saying that prescribed medication is out of the question here, but when you pair this with sex toy use, perhaps you’ll notice the pain subsiding quicker. Just remember to take things slow and steady if you are feeling particularly under the weather.
10) Inclusivity
That’s right, a dildo can be used by anyone and everyone - regardless of an individual’s presenting gender. From embracing power-play and stimulating the prostate in the form of a strap-on dildo, to finding a toy that suits every fetish and kink, there really is something out there for any preference. Using a dildo is a perfectly normal thing, and the ability to explore various different sensations - either alone, with a partner, or with multiple playmates - should be celebrated wherever possible.
We’re sure that by this point you won’t need any more convincing, so if your next step is to go ahead and purchase a dildo of your very own - what are you waiting for? Explore our range of sex toys today to find your perfect match.
