If you can orgasm from penetration alone, then yes, you might find a dildo will make you orgasm.
The caveat to the above? Even if you fall into the former camp, vulva-owners might be able to use a dildo in a way that “works”. You could use your dildo while also rubbing your clit or simultaneously using a vibrator, or, if you have a vibrating dildo, you could grind on it at an angle where you hit your G-spot and clitoris at the same time. The sky is the limit.
“It’s important to realise that there is a great misconception and expectation for women to easily climax from penetrative sex or dildos,” Cameron added. “This is not the case, it’s different for everyone, and using a dildo as an explorative tool on your erogenous zones is a great way to find out what feels good, and if you can orgasm from penetration. Don’t put pressure on yourself, just focus on relaxing and exploring yourself.”
What size dildo should I choose?
“It’s so important to consider size, because this can determine the type of pleasure you are after, and if the dildo is right for you,” Cameron said.
“The thing that you mainly need to remember when you buy a dildo is to know that it is going to be inside you. So, when considering size, think about how tight you are, what size you’ve enjoyed when it comes to sexual partners and if you want a straight or curved shape. Usually, the curved shaped dildos are used to hit the G-spot. If you’re struggling to visualise the size you’re after, look at household items around you and get the tape measure out.”
Are there different materials to choose from? If so, what are they and which material is safest?
“From latex, silicone and jelly rubber to plastic and even metal, there’s a range of different materials to choose from when it comes to dildos. But it’s most important to look into whether a dildo, or other sex toys, are porous or non-porous,” Cameron explained.
“Sex toys that are porous have tiny spaces within the material that can harbour bacteria and provide a friendly environment for unhealthy bacteria. So, it is always best to go for non-porous materials such as plastic and silicone sex toys. They’re easy to clean, safe and great for pleasure.”
What is the best dildo to buy?
“It says it in the name, but the So Divine Glorious Pink Dildo, really is glorious,” Cameron said. “It’s real-skin feel technology and ribbed-shaft makes it feel romantic and empowering. It’s also great to go for a dildo that has a suction cup at the base, so it can be used for solo or couple play.”
