Strap On For Men

MALE STRAP ONS

Male strap ons. Hmm interesting subject, but you are here because you want to know about them, right?

A male strap on is essentially a replacement penis, that is “strapped on” to a person, mostly by using a harness, for the purpose of using it as a penis for penetration.

A male strap on can be used to penetrate a partner of any gender. You can use it for fun, or it can have medical aide benefits for someone with erectile disfunction or other challenges.

FEMALE STRAP ON VERSUS MALE STRAP ON (WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?)

The quick answer is, not much. Essentially the only real difference is that a male strap on will typically have the hollow section inside, so the penis can be inserted inside to improve comfort for the wearer. A female strap on will not have a provision for a penis, however a female can wear a male strap on, as there is nothing to squash when placed in the pelvic area.

WHAT MAKES UP A MALE STRAP ON?

The basic male strap on comprises a harness and a hollow dildo or cock. The harness is designed to hold the dildo in the groin or pelvic area, with straps that wrap around the waist, and around the top of the leg and/or bum to hold it in place. It typically has an O ring in the centre, to provide a mounting point for the dildo. The dildo has a flared base, so once inserted into the O ring, the O ring keeps it in place.

WHY USE A MALE STRAP ON?

The most common reasons to use a strap on for men is for medical reasons. Should you have difficulty obtaining an erection due to erectile dysfunction, sexual performance issues or other mental health issues, a strap on for men may be the trick to keep your sex life alive. For those that feel they need extra length or girth, the male strap on peforms a suitable function as a penis extender. Whatever the situation, making sure communication with your partner is crucial to maintaining a great sexual relationship, as the strap on for men can be an awkward scenario, given it is designed to essentially replace an existing penis.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A MALE STRAP ON

An adjustable harness is really important. As is the material its made from. Wearing a male strap on needs to be a comfortable experience, or the experience will not be worth the investment. A harness that has some padding, or made from softer materials are good options. The other major factor is the inner diameter, just to make sure you are going to be able to fit your penis inside, whether flaccid or erect.

Other things to consider will depend on what’s important to you.

Some harnesses are able to be used with a variety of dildos, while others are limited to one style, size or brand. If choice and variety is important, then you need to consider this.

Another option for harnesses is a provision for a bullet vibrator, to increase the stimulation for the wearer, who wont be getting any direct stimulation from wearing a strap on for men.

Make sure your dildo is made from safe materials, typically phthalate free.

INTRODUCING THE MALE STRAP ON TO YOUR SEX LIFE

The first inclination is to literally strap it on and take it for a ride. But wait, maybe you should spend a little bit of time first, adjusting the straps, figuring out how the dildo sits in the harness, how you are going to care for and clean the dildo, and even cleaning and maintaining the harness. Being able to get in and out of the male strap on quickly and easily, making sure it fits correctly for comfort, and being able to fix any problems such as the dildo separating from the harness are all important things to know. Getting these things right before you dip your D in any pond is worth the time.

PLAY TIME

Its important that you use plenty of lube, both at the start, and throughout the use of the strap on. We recommend water based lubricants be used with any toys, as sex toys can be sensitive to the chemicals in silicone based lubricant. As the dildo is not physically part of you, you cant feel what’s going on inside your partner.

Whatever the situation, communication with your partner is key to the success of using a male strap on. Talk to each other about what’s working and what’s not. The first few times you use the strap on may feel awkward for one of both of you, so talking about the feelings, sensations and emotions involved will lead to a much more fulfilling experience as you become used to it as part of your sex life.

After any use, as with any sex toy, make sure the strap on for men is thoroughly cleaned with an appropriate toy cleaner, or at least with warm soapy water. Ensure the entire strap on, including the straps, is dry before storing it away.
