‘Sometimes I find all the cocks in your house a bit disconcerting’, my lover told me as we hugged on my sofa. I had temporarily forgotten that, just behind me, I had my pile of my ‘incoming’ sex toys for review and Rhea from Ylva & Dite was there, standing proudly to attention. ‘Don’t be silly’ I said, trying to reassure him. I wanted him to know that no dildo in the world could replace his own, living and breathing, cock.
Someone who is new to my sex toy world might not appreciate the nuances of sex toy product categories. I believe that dildos, although phallic in nature, are not exactly cock stand-ins – pardon the pun. Of my whole collection of sex toys, which is currently around the 500-mark, I only have one veiny cock.
Even though I find the penis to be fascinating and beautiful, I wouldn’t say that they are decorative in the way that dildos are. For me, there is something ever-so intriguing about a beautiful dildo. I have found that mine are too pretty to put back in their packages to join the rest of my sex toys. For this reason, I often use them as ornaments to decorate my small flat.
For me, a dildo doesn’t replace my lover’s cock. It just gives me a little something extra to enjoy when I’m on my own. And when I’m not using it, I love to stare at them. They are the only visible cue that my flat isn’t quite conventional.
Ylva & Dite is a Dutch company who make handmade dildos. Rhea from Ylva and Dite is a luxurious, handmade silicone dildo. Although it is phallic and has a textured surface, it doesn’t quite look like a veiny curved cock. This will be good news for those who want to enjoy phallic sensations with something that doesn’t resemble a real cock.
MATERIAL: Rhea is made of silicone. It feels pleasant and I just can’t stop squeezing it! It is compatible with water-based lubricant. You can also use it in the shower or in the bath.
PACKAGING: It is presented in a transparent plastic cylinder that has a leaflet with some product and company information.
USABILITY: The tip is very easy to insert, thanks to its narrow tip. The ribbed surface provides extra stimulation and thanks to its curves, it is ideal for stimulating the G spot in a woman and the prostate in a man. The flared base means it can be used for anal stimulation for any gender. The flared base is also ideal for pegging (when a woman wears a strap-on and penetrates a man) or for girl on girl penetrative sex.
As I need clitoral stimulation to reach orgasm, I decided to use it in combination with a clitoral stimulator. I started off stimulating my clitoris in order to build up my arousal before inserting the toy. I was able to keep in inside and use it hands-free and use my hands to stimulate my clitoris. You can also hold it and move it around in circles or in an out, according to your preference.
The shape is perfectly manageable. You don’t have to insert the whole thing to enjoy its orgasmic attributes.
ORGASM-O-BILITY: When used in combination with a clitoral stimulator, I was able to indulge in dual stimulation. The curve is perfect for reaching the G spot and made a run-of-the-mill clitoral orgasm into an unforgettable one.
PROS: Doesn’t look realistic. Textured surface for extra stimulation. Curved shape. Soft texture. Versatile. Decorative – looks to good to put in a cupboard or drawer!
CONS: I can’t think of any… just that if you need clitoral stimulation, this isn’t for you.
IDEAL FOR:
- Pegging.
- Lesbian sex.
- Anal play.
- G-spot stimulation in a woman.
- Prostate stimulation in a man.
