They're quite possibly the simplest and most basic sex toy available today, but what is it about a realistic dildo that's so sexually satisfying?

Indeed, one may just get the best bang for their buck with a realistic dildo, as they're not just super inexpensive, but they're also powerful and a whole lot of erotic fun.

And sure, this penis-shaped toy may seem a bit daunting or intimidating at first for some, but try not discredit it, as the pleasure experienced far outweighs its appearance.

Or, if you simply love the look and feel of a penis, then you're in the best position to feel all kinds of euphoria.

Psst! Take a gander at our full range of dildos here.

What is a Realistic Dildo?

A realistic dildo is a phallic-shaped sex toy that is usually used for penetrative masturbation, but also partnered play. And it's not just the shape that mimics a penis.

The entire toy is detailed to look just like one! Some come with veins and balls, and there are different colours and sizes. With this, you can choose the one that looks just like your favourite, while enjoying the perfect length and girth. 

What's also amazing about realistic dildos is that they feel absolutely amazing too. They're so realistic, almost life-like, that any masturbation routine can be transformed into a moment of fleeting passion similar to that experienced with a partner. 

This is because realistic dildos are made with certain kinds of material that give it a real-feel. Materials such as silicone, cyberskin, or UR3 are used, which are often firm on the inside yet soft on the outside. With this, your realistic dildo moves with you and your body, allowing you to curate your best pleasure yet. 

Not to mention how realistic dildos with veins add to your pleasure. These lines and bumps actually create even more stimulation!

In fact, some dildos have even been modeled and sculpted according to real penises. Have a favourite porn star, singer, actor, public figure? You may just be able to have your way with them in the form of a realistic dildo!

Who Can Use a Realistic Dildo?

Realistic dildos can be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of gender or sexual orientation.

It can be used for vaginal or anal penetration, and when using it, you can stimulate either the G-spot or the prostate.

If you're a vulva-owner, a realistic dildo with balls can actually stimulate your clitoris during vaginal penetration too. Double the pleasure.

Yet another reason why realistic dildos are an absolute winner for all.

Starting Out: How to Use a Realistic Dildo

There are various techniques you could try when playing with your realistic dildo. It all depends on the kind of stimulation you're after and a position that feels the most comfortable for you.

Lube, Lube, and More Lube

Regardless of who you are or how you're going to use your realistic dildo, remember that lube is your friend. This sex toy was made for insertion, so adding a generous amount of lube will be an added bonus for maximum pleasure.

This is especially true for those who are looking for anal stimulation, as the anus doesn't produce natural lubrication. Not only that, but you'll definitely want to be more careful with anal play as not to cause any tearing or pain.

Lube such as the Intimate Earth Adventure Relaxing Anal Serum works like a charm, as it doesn't provide anesthetic effects which can be harmful for the body. Instead, it uses a combination of natural ingredients to relax the sphincter for more pleasure.

Additionally, if you're going for some anal play, be sure to grab yourself a realistic dildo with a suction cup. This is because the suction will act as a flared base, making the dildo easier to remove after play time. This is super important, as realistic dildos can actually slip past the anal sphincter and require a visit to the emergency room... yes, really.

Foreplay is Fun Play

After you've got your pleasure product and you're all lubed up, engaging in a bit of solo foreplay is the best way to ease into your penetrative experience.

You could tease your other erogenous zones, either with your realistic dildo, one of your favourite vibrators, or your hands to allow blood flow to all of your sexy spots. The more aroused you are, the better the experience.

Porous vs Non-Porous

We also recommend that you go for a realistic dildo that's made of non-porous material, as porous sex toys can retain bacteria and make it a lot harder to clean.

The Main Event: Realistic Dildo Techniques for Vaginal Penetration

If you're a vulva owner, you could give these sassy realistic dildo techniques a whirl:

Deep Thrusting

If you love the idea of being deeply thrusted during penetration, then this is the one for you. For this kind of technique, you're going to want to buy a realistic dildo that's not too soft yet smooth. This is because deep thrusting can be difficult with soft dildos, and the ridges and veins may cause stimulation that's perhaps too intense.

To practice it, you could either hand-hold the realistic dildo and thrust until your heart is content, or you could buy a suction cup realistic dildo, which will allow you to move your body at a speed that feels best for you.

Shallow Thrusting

If you're not such a fan of deep penetration, but adore the idea of being thrusted, give shallow thrusting a go! Did you know the first 1/3 of the vagina is rife with sensitive nerve endings? That means that you can get all the pleasure you desire with some shallow and delicious thrusts. 

Use short and rapid strokes to experience your bliss by either holding the realistic dildo with your hand or using a suction cup dildo.

Rocking Out!

Enjoy your realistic dildo like a boss by laying on your bed, and inserting it into the vagina so that's pointing towards the bed. Then, go ahead and rock your own world. By doing this, you'll be able to stimulate the bottom of your vagina while receiving some delicious  clitoral stimulation simultaneously.

The Main Event: Realistic Dildo Techniques for Anal Penetration

Anal lovers, here are some tips and techniques for you when using your favourite realistic dildo:

Safe than Sorry

When you're ready to play, it's advised to use condoms. Accidents can happen, and it's better to be safe than sorry. 

The Worst Technique for Prostate Stimulation with a Realistic Dildo

For prostate stimulation, simply holding your realistic dildo and inserting it in and out won't give you the best sensation. This is because the prostate is located on the front wall of the rectum... a place where your realistic dildo won't reach if it's pointed directly at your rectum.

The Best Technique for Prostate Stimulation with a Realistic Dildo

Angle the realistic dildo in such a way that the outer end of the dildo is away from the front of your body. In this way, part of the prostate will be stimulated. But be careful and definitely spend some time experimenting with the best position for you. 

If the realistic dildo is too steep, it'll directly stimulate the prostate which can be uncomfortable and sometimes painful. If the realistic dildo is too shallow, you may not stimulate the prostate at all. 

Try to find a position where the tip of the realistic dildo almost bumps off of the prostate. For this, you may want to buy a realistic dildo that's not too soft yet not too hard. Or perhaps seek out a glass or metal dildo because they're smooth and won't bump too hard into the prostate. 

The PipeDream Icicles Vibrating Glass Massager with remote control is an excellent choice!
