Fantasy, Glass & Steel Dildos

Here you choose by shape, size and material rather than by realism. Most fantasy models are made of silicone, a few of TPE or PVC, and the glass and steel dildos are a class of their own.

What the shapes do

A tapered tip makes entry easier, which is why many fantasy dildos start narrow and widen towards the base. Ridges and scales add texture with every movement, and a knot, a bulge near the base, gives an extra stretch at the end if you want it, or simply marks where to stop. Tentacle and spiral shapes, such as the XR Brands Cocktopus or the XR Brands Dream Rider, have a rolling texture along the whole shaft. Fiction Cocks covers the full fantasy range in silicone, from the Kraken's Lick to the Galactic Hydra.

Size: check the widest point

Fantasy dildos often run wider than realistic ones: many Fiction Cocks models are 5 to 6.5 cm at the widest point, and the Fiction Cocks Deep Riser reaches 8 cm. Compare that widest point and the insertable length with a toy you already know. To measure, wrap a strip of paper around the thickest part of a familiar toy and divide the circumference by 3.14. For a first non realistic dildo, a slimmer shape such as the RealRock non realistic dildo 13.5 cm (12.7 cm insertable, 3 cm wide) or the RealRock rounded dildo (16.6 cm insertable, 4 cm wide) is easier to start with.

Silicone fantasy dildos

Silicone is non porous, holds fine detail, warms to body temperature and can be cleaned thoroughly. The Doc Johnson Fantasy Fuckers line, such as the Fantasy Fuckers Milky Way (17.8 cm insertable, 4.8 cm wide), is made of silicone too. Use a water based lubricant with silicone, because silicone lubricant can make the surface tacky over time.

Glass and steel

Glass and stainless steel are firm, completely smooth and non porous. They do not give at all, so every ridge is felt clearly, and their weight adds pressure without effort. The Chrystalino Superior and Gallant are glass dildos of about 15 cm insertable and 3.5 cm wide, and the Steel Eleven is a 27 cm dual ended dildo in stainless steel. Both materials suit temperature play: hold them under warm water or place them in the fridge for a while, never in the freezer, and test the temperature on your wrist first. Check glass for chips or cracks before every use. Any type of lubricant can be used with glass and steel.

Base and use

For anal play, choose a fantasy dildo with a flared base or suction cup, so it cannot slip in. Check the product page for a suction cup if you want to fix the dildo to a smooth surface and ride it. With strongly textured or knotted shapes, take your time, use plenty of lubricant and stop at any sharp discomfort. Fantasy shapes also come as plugs in butt plugs and dilators, and lifelike models are under realistic dildos.

Cleaning and storage

Wash before and after use with warm water and mild soap or a toy cleaner; textured surfaces need a little extra attention in the grooves. Solid silicone dildos without electronics can be boiled for a few minutes if the maker allows it. Dry everything well and store silicone toys apart from each other and from soft plastics.
