Dildos: Sexy And Stimulating, Glass Or Silicone

Dildos: Sexy And Stimulating, Glass Or Silicone

Dildos have a long history and relics have been found from ancient times including from cultures Greek, Roman and Native Americans.

Dildos have been carved from stone, wood and made from ceramics and historically have been used by both women and men for self-pleasure or penetrative play with a partner.

Dildos For Realism

Dildos are all about penetration and this is reflecting the shape, with most dildos having a shaft of varying lengths and widths. Dildos are usually handheld or strapped in to a strap-on harness and can be used for vaginal or anal penetration. Dildos come in all shapes and sizes, from smooth, to rippled or sculpted for that realistic-penis-look and feel.

For transgender/queer FTM’s (female to male transgendered men) dildos can also come as a packer. A packer gives the look and feel of a flaccid penis –the classic bulge in the pants- that allow FTM’s to ‘pass’ as a man. Soft packers most often can’t be used for sex as they are too soft and often too small.

In more recent times dildos were most commonly made from latex or common plastics, materials that were of poor quality and not hygienic.

However since the 2000’s, more skin friendly materials such as shatterproof glass and 100% silicone and more recently medical grade plastics have transformed the manufacture of dildos.

D.VICE has been making 100% silicone dildos since we started the business in 1997.

Dildos Should Be Fun And Lasting

Glass dildos are hugely popular being both hygienic and hypoallergenic, great for those with sensitive skin. Glass dildos are also very stimulating and if looked after will last a lifetime.

100% silicone dildos are long lasting, easy to clean and fun to use. D.VICE silicone dildos come with a 10 year guarantee and can be heated and cooled water. D.VICE dildos come in a great range of sizes and are safe to use vaginally or anally, they can even be boiled for 3 minutes to sterilise.

Other good brands of silicone dildos are Fun Factory from Germany and Tantus silicone dildos from America.

D.VICE also makes comfortable and strong strap-on harnesses that can be used for hands free strap-on fun. Many heterosexual couples enjoy strap-on play as well as couples of other sexualities. Strap-on play can be liberating for men and empowering for women and is practised all over the globe.

I am deeply convinced that each patient needs a unique, individual approach. Therefore, I use different psychotherapy methods in my work. During my studies, I discovered an in-depth interest in people as a whole and the belief in the inseparability of mind and body, and the importance of emotional health in physical health. In my spare time, I enjoy reading (a big fan of thrillers) and going on hikes.
