What is a dildo?

There is much debate about exactly what a dildo is. Simply put, a dildo can be categorized as almost anything that is stuck inside of the body for masturbation of sexual intercourse, but since your partner might give you an awkward look if you pulled out a Banana and said, “Look at my new dildo!” I’ll provide you with a dictionary-like definition.

Dildo: pronounced dil – doe, is:

• An object (often referred to as a sex toy) that has a size, shape and overall appearance of an erect penis
• An object used as a substitute for an erect penis
• A sex toy, often representing a penis and intended for bodily interaction during masturbation

Now that you have the basic definition of a dildo down packed let’s get into the nitty gritty.

Most people generally define a dildo as a non-vibrating sex toy that fits in the aforementioned category. The pulsating toys are left to a category of their own, banally known as . . . . surprise . . . Vibrators!
For a dildo, it’s just a plain old penis shaped instrument that you use to get yourself off with. Some people also include butt plugs, devices used for anal penetration, as dildos.
Dildlos come in a variety of shapes, sizes, textures and materials for your comfort and to accommodate the girth that you need. For the more adventurous individuals, there are even dildos in the shape of animal genitalia.

Dildos can be used for fun alone, with a partner or in groups, for men and women. Use of dildos can be healthy and psychologically beneficial to your life.

They have been around for much longer than you think, proving that the ancients sure did know something back then. Archaeologists in many places have discovered Stone dildos. Remnants of these old and ornate sex toys have been found in the royal quarters of ancient kings and queens. Playing with a dildo was a treat that was eventually passed down to the commoners. The ancient Greeks called them olisbos, and believed using them would relieve hysteria. The word dildo itself probably comes from similar words in Italian and Greek. Now, ages later the key is in your hands. You can grab a dildo, discover yourself and while at it, become a part of sexual history.
