Packing Hard for Sex
Packing is certainly an important element to the living and feeling more masculine. In addition to soft packing, some guys like to “pack hard” for sex. The term packing hard refers to packing for sex, and in most circumstances constitutes the use of a dildo or erectile device in a packing prosthesis.
Most of these products bend and remain in the position placed in so that they can stand up, or lay down. Unfortunately many of these devices are large and even when bent around can still be a bit on the conspicuous side.
Dildos
Sex toys such as dildos are a very personal preference. Make sure to discuss this with your partner to ensure they are comfortable. A lot of the products that are available are huge. If it is at all possible try going to a store so that you can see and feel the different shapes, sizes, and materials of the toys. The problem is, in many counties stores aren’t allowed to carry these devices so those of use who are in this predicament need to turn to online resources. If you do have a partner, talk to them and see what they like. It may be that your partner prefers shorter, longer, fatter, skinnier or something different than what you idealize. The fact is, if your partner’s not satisfied partners not satisfied.
Silicone dildos are by far the most popular because they are softer than others, warm to body temperature, are more durable, and cleaner. They also flex when gently pressed on. Unlike silicone dildos, are dildos made of other materials such as glass. They also become warm over time, but are not as flexible, and generally as comfortable as the silicone ones.
One of the most realistic ways to make it mentally feel like you do actually have the *equipment* is to buy a double ended dildo and a good harness, specifically one that will adjust at the hips and the waist. There are several places to buy online, but the most common seems to be the Nexus from Vixen Creations. It runs at approximately $82.00 plus shipping. Trust us, everything you never thought you could do, you can do with the Nexus!
Cleaning and Maintenance
All dildos should be cleaned after each use with a combination of soap and water. There are many products out there to aide in the cleaning process, but beware, most are nothing more than soap and water. People often say that dildos should be placed in boiling water to sterilize them, but many of the materials that some dildos are made out of cannot handle the heat. Below is a list of safe cleaning methods:
- Silicone Toys- soap and water, boiling water
- Plastic Toys - soap and water, rubbing alcohol
- Jelly - mild soap and water
- Latex Toys - mild soap and water
- Cyberskin Toys - mild soap and water, Cyberskin cleaning solution
Lubrication
The average natural born female body creates quote a bit of lubrication to help during sexual activity, but the fact remains that it sometimes is not enough. Lubrication not only helps things go more smoothly *no pun intended, but it also can make sex more comfortable, and therefore more enjoyable. In fact, without enough lubrication, sex can be quite painful.
Water-based lubrication
Still remains the most commonly used because they do not stain clothes or sheets and are safe. They also come in a variety of flavors. Water based lubricants have a fairly long shelf life long-lasting and easy to clean because they are water soluble. Thicker water-based lubricants may be purchased for anal play.
Silicone-based lubrication
Silicone lubricant is safe with all sex toys except for silicone toys. Silicone lubricants require less applications because they are thicker than water-based lubricants. Beware, silicone lubricant cannot be used with silicone toys.
Oil-based lubrication
Unlike the water-based lubricants, oil-based lubricants are generally not as popular. They degrade condoms and other contraceptives, may stain cloth, are extremely difficult to wash off, and can cause infection in the vaginal region. They are safe for minor ingestion when giving oral sex, as long as the user does not have an allergy to one of the oil ingredients.
Petroleum-based lubrication
Have you ever heard the old joke about mineral oil? Petroleum jelly, Vaseline, K-Y Jelly, and mineral oil are the most common lubricants in this group. They are commonly used but can easily stain cloth. They are unsafe to use with many contraceptives, such as condoms. They also cannot be used with any latex products.
Dual-packing
Dual-packing can help with the sexual identity in female-to-male transsexuals who want the option of packing and playing in an all-in-one package. The Tricky softie is too soft for penetration. See product suggestions for dual-purpose “pack and plays.”
