I'm playing around with the idea of a strapon. Has anyone used one before? How do you use one and what is it like? Which type would be great for a newbie?

Thanks!

I'd recommend the brand Tantus.

What someone uses for strap-on sex -- both per dildos or harnesses -- really is about what is most comfortable for you and the partner you are using it with. So, a lot of this is going to involve experimenting to see what you each like and prefer, and find works best for you.

Most independent sex stores anymore tend to have strap-on kits they've created for those just trying this kind of sex out, with both harnesses and dildos that they know tend to be the easiest to use for newbies, and a good starter-fit for most people. Since this kind of play involves purchasing sex toys, whether you're shopping in person or online, I'd suggest you seek out or ask about a starter setup from the place you're looking to get your supplies from.

There's also instructions here on the site for a DIY harness if you're curious. You'll find that in this article here: http://www.scarleteen.com/article/sexua ... ed_edition
