Dildo

A dildo is a sex toy designed to simulate penetration, available in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and materials. Unlike a vibrator, a basic dildo has no motor, though many modern versions combine features. Dildos are used across LGBTQ+ communities: by lesbian and queer women in strap-on play, by trans people of many identities, and by gay and bisexual men for solo or partnered play. They are also widely used by straight people, so the toy itself carries no particular orientation. Health educators recommend body-safe, nonporous materials such as medical-grade silicone, glass, or stainless steel, along with plenty of lubricant and thorough cleaning between uses to reduce the risk of irritation or infection.
