OK folks, first of all let’s make one thing clear. A dildo is not the same as a vibrator. A dildo is shaped like a dick and made of either latex or silicon jelly whereas a vibrator is hard and smooth.

Dildos come in all sorts of colours and are available in every size from a standard 6 inches to fully-grown donkey (or thereabouts), the latter of which would share the hell out of me! If you’re buying your first one, I’d suggest your stick with a standard kind of size.

Apart from size, the most important thing to think of is how you’re going to use your dildo. Hand held in bed? In the bath? Positioned on a table or chair so that you can sit on it? Or maybe you need a strap on version to use to satisfy your lady friends? There are even “double dongs” available - a thick rubber shaft with a penis head on each end.

If you’re going to be using yours in the bath or shower, it stands to reason that it must be waterproof, especially if it’s the kind that uses batteries.

Although the obvious way to use a dildo is fully inserted and thrusting in the vagina, dildos are great to use during foreplay too. Try rubbing against the clit — either yours or your partners — followed by some shallow fucking. Insertion into the vagina at an angle will stimulate the g-spot and some women (and men) enjoy gentle rectal insertion. Always remember, though, that any full insertion has to be done carefully. A dildo is NOT a penis and can do far more damage if abused.

Dildos certainly bring a new dimension to the bedroom, but remember to use a condom on your dildo if sharing with anybody other than your permanent partner.

Oh, and did you know it’s possible to buy a “make your own dildo kit”? Evidently so. I’ll have to look into that one - I wouldn’t mind having a “mini Malc” with me when I’m away from home
