Strap on for Medical reasons

April 11 2022

Hi every body. I have a bit of a problem and I was hoping for some help. I have a Medical Condition that has robbed me of my ability to get/maintain an erection. I have (in the last 3 years) come out of a loveless Marriage that had very little sex happening, in the end. I have been starting to meet new Ladies but I am concerned about my problem. I was thinking about getting a Strap-on to possibly try - but I have no Idea how to to go about it, mainly - what to buy, and how to use it. I am 63 but I'm not Dead yet lol Can anybody help me please?

    Plenty of hollowed strap on or sleeve type toys. Have a chat to the staff at any adult store, they'll surely have some great ideas and advice.

    I second chatting to the staff at a sex shop, they can recommend products. They’ve heard it all before and are usually very non judgemental and helpful. Also talk to the woman about it before you go out spending heaps of money on a strap on, you may find she isn’t a penetrative orgasm type of person anyway and perhaps would like to embrace the opportunity to switch the focus to other types of sex. If that’s the case you might not need toys at all or maybe a different toy might work better for her, if her pleasure is the reasoning behind you wanting to try strap ons (but it also might be about your wants too). I have had boyfriends with similar issues and it was never a problem for us because there are other things we liked in bed and we just focused on those things instead. After a while they got REALLY good at giving head because it was the main way they would get me off so they got plenty of practice and feedback ;) as a woman who learned sex with women before ever jumping into bed with a man, I really noticed that sex is better when people drop the ‘script’ society has given us about sex being all about penetration and male ejaculation. Because there was no penis/erection involved it was all about connecting, exploring and getting creative beyond that script. I really think that’s why statistically lesbians have so many more orgasms than straight women. There is too much pressure on men to perform and too much obsession around erections and ejaculation - in porn men are often just seen as torsos with dicks. It’s boring. I think taking the focus away from all that can be a good thing, and can make a guy better in bed.

    In addition to sex aids and strap on may I suggest you have a chat to your GP about your erectile dis function issues. There could be either physical or psychological reasons for this problem and there are other options that can be explored. I a. Not just speaking of viagra/cialis . Once you know the cause there can often be a solution to the problem. If it is indeed a physical problem then even a penile prosthesis may be a viable option. Good luck

    Sorry, I jumped the gun and didn’t properly read the part where you said you had a medical condition.

    I’d suggest the first thing to do would be find a partner who understands and is willing to try and tackle the problem with you. What’s the point in buying toys if you never get to use them or they’re not the ones she wants? Obviously you’ll be discussing it first, so maybe just do a bit of research first so you have suggestions to offer when the subject comes up, THEN look into buying and using it.

    Greggles you're a lucky guy in retrospect to getting advice from these lovely ladies. It's good to see there are more options than a strap on. That can be frustrating in It's self , plastic rubber, vibrating, ribbed ,solid, hollow, extension. Then there's the harness, different fittings. Great advice by the ladies here see the doctor and if you have a partner take her with you to an adult store. She will feel appreciated if you go together even if shes a little uncomfortable to begin with. I wish you all the best
