How to Use a Dildo for Men
New to using a dildo? This friendly, no-nonsense guide covers choosing the right toy, using lube, going at the right pace and cleaning up, so every session is comfortable, private and safe.
What Is the Quick Answer?
Why Do Men Use Dildos?
Many men use dildos to explore new sensations, including prostate stimulation, which can feel very intense for some. Others use them with a partner, either by hand or with a strap-on harness. Curiosity is completely normal, and using a toy says nothing about your orientation.

How Do You Choose the Right Dildo?
Size
Go slim and flexible first. A smaller toy is easier to relax around and far more comfortable.
Material
Pick medical-grade silicone. It is smooth, non-porous and easy to clean.
Flared base
Essential for anal use. It stops the toy slipping inside and gives you a safe grip.
Harness fit
For strap-on use, check the toy is harness-compatible with a ring that fits snugly.
| Material | Body-safe? | Best lube | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Medical-grade silicone | Yes | Water-based | Soft, flexible, easy to clean |
| ABS plastic | Yes | Any | Firm and smooth |
| Glass / Metal | Yes | Any | Non-porous, can be warmed or cooled |
| Jelly / PVC | No | Use a condom | Porous, harder to sanitise |
How Do You Use a Dildo Step by Step?
- Prepare. Wash your hands and the toy, and choose a private, unhurried time.
- Relax and warm up. Slow breathing and arousal help your muscles ease up.
- Apply lube generously. Coat the toy and the area with thick water-based lube, and reapply as needed.
- Go slowly. Apply gentle pressure while exhaling. Never force it.
- Pause and adjust. Let your body adapt before moving. Stop if you feel pain.
- Remove gently and clean. Hold the base, ease the toy out, then wash it straight away.
What About Using a Dildo With a Partner?
Communication matters most. Agree on a comfort level and a stop signal beforehand, check in often and let the receiving partner control the pace. If you use a strap-on harness, adjust it so it sits snugly and the toy feels stable before you begin. A condom also makes switching between uses much more hygienic.
How Do You Clean and Store a Dildo?
Wash with warm water and mild unscented soap or a toy cleaner immediately after use. Rinse well, dry completely and keep it in a clean pouch away from sunlight and other toys. Never share a toy without a fresh condom.
Key Takeaways
- Choose medical-grade silicone with a flared base.
- Use plenty of water-based lube.
- Start small, go slow and stop at pain.
- Clean the toy after every use.
