A Handy Guide to Dildo Types

Nobody could have foreseen the recent explosive growth of the sex toy market. With that growth has come incredible diversity, with sex toys now fulfilling niche functions we never expected of them in earlier, less “sex-toy sophisticated” times. Today, there are so many types of dildos, it’s hard to know where to start looking for one.

Today, you’ll find dildos specifically created to speak to discrete sensual functions. So our first job is to get a handle on how dildos are used in sexual encounters. Because dildos do so much more than penetrate!

Let’s get to know the wide world of different types of dildos with Kreature Adult Toys’ handy dildo guide!

What Do Dildos Do?

What dildos do is provide another avenue to sexual pleasure, adding targeted sensation, sensual texture, and novelty. In short - dildos do orgasms!

Used to penetrate the vagina, anus, or mouth or to stimulate the clitoris or scrotum, a dildo may also be employed to stimulate genital-adjacent areas like the perineum or thighs. Most types of dildos may be strapped on, using a harness or mounted temporarily to a piece of furniture so it can be mounted itself. A butt plug is used to prepare the anus for penetration and is an increasingly popular type of dildo fulfilling a specific role.

Dildos may add additional sensual stimulation like vibration or automatic thrusting. Vibration may be used as part of sexual intercourse or on any part of the body as a component of foreplay. Dildos may even be attached to a machine that achieves penetration mechanically!

Exploring Different Types of Dildos

Readers should know that the dildo is nothing new. The oldest known dildo was discovered in Germany and is 30,000 years old! While not pre-dating the wheel or fire, it’s clear that ancient humanity shared many of its modern counterpart’s interests.

From the prototypical electric “massage wand” has sprung a constellation of dildo types. Let’s cover the basic categories of types of dildos.

Vibrators

The vibrating dildo is one of the more popular dildo types and the prototype for all dildos. Because it was originally marketed for solo play, that was the global reputation of the dildo - a masturbatory tool. But today, the vibrator, with its stimulating vibrations, represents a huge range of dildo types from cock rings to anal toys to strokers.

Thrusters

Ideal for lazy solo sessions or to add a layer of kink to couples’ play, thrusting types of dildos are designed to do the work for you, doing all the heavy lifting while you lie back and enjoy the experience and the resulting orgasm. But thrusting vibrators are also great for people with shoulder and other mobility issues in the arm.

P and G, Rated X

P-spot and G-spot vibrators are shaped to stimulate these interior orgasm-generators in exactly the right way. Designed to effectively reach these sometimes difficult to target areas, these cleverly engineered dildo types are a relatively new entrant in the world of dildos and a strong indication of the sophisticated direction of the sex toy market. For these sex toys, orgasms are an inside job.

Fantasy dildos transport you to another world. Created to breach the limits of reality, these extraordinary dildos appeal to nerds, gamers, geeks, and anyone else who likes a dose of the surreal with their sex play. If that describes you, you’ve come to the right place!
