It was a typical night for me; I was on Reddit, looking at posts and trawling through the endless threads of people debating topics ranging from politics to gaming. Then I stumbled across something I hadn’t expected – a thread about a girl and her dildo. Before I’d even had a chance to blink, I’d clicked the link and started reading.
At first I wasn’t sure what I was reading; the language was eloquent but also at times bizarrely poetic. Yet I was quickly pulled in by the story and fascinated to learn the reason why this girl had such an interesting relationship with her dildo.
The writing was full of hyperbole and emotion as the girl described her experience. She was embarrassed and ashamed to admit it, but it was clear how much pleasure and joy this one object gave her. As I read on, I was struck with admiration for the girl’s courage to speak her truth and share her story in a private setting without judgement.
The reddit traps discussion quickly became fascinating as other users began to respond. There was an outpouring of compassion from people online, offering support and understanding. Some were even admiring her courage and willingness to talk about such taboo topics. Others shared similar experiences, stories of anxiety and shame, and how owning a dildo had transformed both their mental and physical wellbeing.
One user even shared their own story of how they had used a dildo to practice ‘edging’: the practice of bringing yourself to the brink of orgasm but then stopping before letting go. It was an eye-opening discussion and suddenly I wasn’t so alone in my own experiences.
Chatting to people on Reddit also opened my eyes to the sheer variety of different types of dildos available. There were shapes and sizes to suit every preference, and materials ranging from glass to metal to silicone. Each one had its own special qualities and I was totally in awe.
Finally, the discussion opened up to the question of safety. The other Redditors gave advice on how to buy and use a dildo safely while avoiding potential health risks such as irritation or infection. This was incredibly useful and made me see that the consumer market was more aware of health risks than I had ever imagined.
As the discussion came to a close, I couldn’t help but feel a deep appreciation for this girl and her story of courage, truth, and discovery. It was a powerful experience and it left me with a newfound perspective on dildos and the people who use them.
