A “Strap-On” is a dildo worn during sex. Strap-ons come in a variety of styles, they can be worn around the arm, knee, or hip with a single strap. The most common style is a harness that holds the dildo in a penis position on the pelvis. Some harnesses are g-string style with a strap around the waist and another strap between the legs. Other harnesses use straps around the thighs to avoid the sometimes painful abrasions caused by the g-string style.
Strap-it up, strap-it in.
Strap-Ons are used by people of all sexual orientations. Between heterosexual couples, the man can wear the strap-on on the arm or leg to achieve different positions. The man can also use a hollow dildo in order to achieve increased length or girth. Women can use a strap-on to penetrate their boyfriends/husbands anally.
Lesbians use strap-ons to achieve penetration. Some lesbians frown on the use of strap-ons because they view them as penile replacements and the denial of what fundamentalists consider “true lesbianism” however, this view seems to be somewhat outdated in the lesbian community.
Some lesbians view their strap-ons as sex toys, accessories. Others prefer to view their strap-ons as an extension of themselves, as an actual penis. Some lesbians enjoy fellatio of their strap-on as an act of eroticism and submission by their partner.
Packing is the practice of wearing a strap-on underneath the clothes. Dildos used in packing are generally softer, making them easier to conceal; some “packers” function as a traditional strap-on, others are too flexible for sex.
