should i use a condom on a dildo

When my best friend asked me if she should use a condom for a dildo, I was a bit shocked. I have always heard that sex toys should not be used without protection, but I had never actually thought of using a condom with one. So, I decided to research the topic and get to the bottom of it.

First off, let me tell you that it’s important to practice safe sex regardless of the type of sex you are engaging in. That being said, there are many reasons why it might be a good idea to use a condom when using a dildo. For starters, if you plan to share the toy with someone else, using a condom can help minimize the risk of transmitting sexually transmitted infections. Additionally, dildos can be porous which could facilitate the spread of bacteria from one person to another.

Another reason why it could be beneficial to use a condom on a dildo is to facilitate hygiene and make sure the toy is adequately cleaned. According to the experts, bacteria can reside inside the toy and even though boiling is a great way to kill the bacteria, using a condom can help protect it from coming into contact with bodily fluids.

I was also surprised to learn that using a condom can be a great way to reduce friction and feel more comfortable while using the toy. Without a condom, the dildo will likely feel harsher on the skin and could cause discomfort. That said, certain types of condoms are made specifically for sex dolls toys, so make sure you get the right type.

Finally, I would say that the kind of material your dildo is made of will also determine whether a condom is needed. Silicone or metal dildos, for instance, generally don’t require the use of a condom. All in all, whether you should use a condom on a dildo is up to you. It all depends on your level of comfort and specific sexual practices.

In conclusion, I would recommend that anyone considering using a dildo should have a conversation with their partner and make a mutual decision on whether to use a condom. That’s the best way to ensure that you are both in agreement on the type of protection that’s best for you.

Now, let me give you an example of why it’s important to ensure that both partners agree to using a condom on a dildo. Recently, I was talking to my friend and she shared with me her experience of having to convince her partner to use a condom every time they used a dildo. She said that even though she wanted to ensure that there would be no risk of transmission of any infections, her partner was adamant about not using one because in his mind, a dildo was not considered to be a form of sex. Needless to say, that caused a lot of tension in their relationship.

So the point I’m trying to make is that it is important to have an open and honest conversation about protection with your partner before using a dildo, and that it’s not a matter of what you consider to be ‘real sex’ or not. Sure, it’s not the same as engaging in intimate sexual activity with someone else, but it still both partners should be on the same page when it comes to using protection.
