Taking the first step into sexual exploration can feel both exciting and intimidating. For many beginners, especially those who have never had penetrative sex, the idea of using a dildo can raise questions. Will it hurt? How do I prepare? Which dildo should I choose?
At RealCockToys, we believe that education and comfort are key to positive first experiences. This guide will explain how to use a dildo for the first time as a virgin, with practical tips to make your journey safe, comfortable, and pleasurable.

Why Consider Using a Dildo as a Virgin?
- Exploration: A dildo allows you to explore your body at your own pace.
- Confidence: It helps you learn what feels good before engaging in partnered sex.
- Control: You’re in charge of depth, speed, and comfort.
- Preparation: It can make first-time partnered sex less intimidating.
Choosing the Right Beginner Dildo
When you’re starting out, the toy you choose makes a big difference.
- Size: Start small. A slim dildo (4–5 inches in length, narrow girth) is ideal.
- Material: Silicone is body-safe, soft, and easy to clean.
- Shape: Smooth and straight dildos are best for beginners.
- Features: A flared base is essential for safety.
Preparing Yourself
Relax Your Body
Take a warm shower, listen to calming music, or practice deep breathing. Relaxation helps reduce tension.
Set the Mood
Choose a private, comfortable space. Dim the lights or use candles to create a safe atmosphere.
Hygiene Matters
Wash your hands, clean the dildo before use, and keep a towel nearby.
The Role of Lubrication
Lube is non-negotiable for first-time penetration.
- Use Water-Based Lube: Safe with silicone toys and easy to clean.
- Apply Generously: Coat both the toy and your entrance.
- Reapply as Needed: Don’t hesitate to add more for comfort.
Step by Step: How to Use a Dildo as a Virgin
-
Start Externally
Begin by exploring with your hands or gently rubbing the dildo against your body. -
Insert Slowly
Guide the dildo to your entrance and insert just the tip. Take your time and listen to your body. -
Breathe and Relax
Deep breathing helps your muscles relax, making insertion easier. -
Gradually Increase Depth
Only go as far as feels comfortable. Stop if you feel pain. -
Experiment with Angles
Adjusting the angle may help target sensitive spots.
Best Positions for Beginners
- On Your Back: With knees bent, giving you control.
- Side Lying: Comfortable and gentle for first-timers.
- Squatting: Allows gravity to assist, but may feel more intense.
Safety Tips
- Never rush the process.
- Pain is a signal to stop, not push harder.
- Clean your toy thoroughly before and after each use.
- Store your dildo in a clean pouch to keep it safe.
Emotional Aspects of First-Time Use
For virgins, emotions play a big role. It’s natural to feel nervous, curious, or even self-conscious. Remember, this is about your body and your pleasure. There’s no “right” or “wrong” way to explore.
When You’re Ready to Progress
As you get more comfortable, you may want to try:
- Different Sizes: Slowly move up in length or girth.
- Textures: Ridges or curves for added stimulation.
- Vibrating Dildos: For extra intensity and blended pleasure.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Choosing a dildo that’s too big too soon.
- Skipping lube.
- Rushing the process.
- Ignoring hygiene.
