How to Ride a Dildo for Intense, Hands-Free Orgasms

Dildos are one of the most common sex toys for good reason. They’re simple and easy to use, can provide pleasure in plenty of ways, and come in many different varieties.
For many people, using a dildo doesn’t go beyond holding it and moving it back and forth. But learning how to ride a dildo can be even more fun and pleasurable.
You’ll need to choose the right dildo, which for most people will be one with a suction cup, develop your riding techniques, and experiment with different positions to get the most out of your riding experience. Once you get the hang of it, you can start exploring other sex toys you can ride like sex dolls or sex machines. You can even bring dildo riding into your bedroom!
Let’s start your riding adventure the right way with our simple guide…

Riding a Suction Cup Dildo

By far the easiest way to ride a dildo is to use one with a suction cup. Just like anything else with a suction cup, you can stick these dildos to nearly any surface such as a wooden floor, a table, or (if you really want to spice things up) a mirror.
Thanks to the flexibility when placing this kind of toy, you can explore many different sex positions while riding them. Once you’ve chosen the ideal position for your suction cup dildo, you simply move your body back and forth for all the stimulation you can handle.
We’re only just scratching the surface of suction cup dildos, and cover them in much more detail in our post called “Riding to Your Hearts Desire With Suction Cup Dildos”. Make sure to read it if you’re planning on trying these great toys.

Best Positions for Riding a Dildo

One of the best things about riding your dildo, rather than just using it normally, is that it’s much easier to try out different positions. These include:
  • Cowgirl: Placing your dildo on the floor lets you ride it cowgirl just like a real penis.
  • Reverse Cowgirl: Just the same, but you can ride it in reverse for extra g-spot and p-spot stimulation.
  • Chair Cowgirl: With the dildo attached to a chair, you have much more room to ride it so you can go much harder. Depending on the position of the dildo, this can also be a little having sex standing up while your partner holds you in the air.
  • Kneeling Doggy Style: Placing the dildo at the right level lets you go on your hands and knees and get the full doggy style experience completely solo.
  • Standing Doggy Style: Place the dildo a little higher and you can also try doggy style while standing up.


These aren’t the only positions you can try though. Basically anything you can think of that’s possible with a partner is also possible by riding your dildo. All you need to do is find the right place to put it!

Dildo Riding Techniques to Maximize Pleasure

So riding a dildo is pretty simple, but how do you maximise your pleasure while you learn how to ride your dildo? There’s a few simple ways you can try:
    1. Use Lube: You should always use lube for anal, but even for vaginal penetration lube can make inserting your dildo and riding it much smoother and easier.
    2. Experiment With Positions: Just because you can ride it in one position, make sure to spend time experimenting when riding a dildo because you never know what might feel good.
    3. Choose The Right Dildo To Ride: There’s no single answer to which dildo you should ride, but you should try out a few different options to find the right one for you.
      1. Most people prefer a longer dildo because it’s easier to ride, but don’t go too long or you might find it painful as you pound down on it.
      2. When deciding on girth, most people prefer a thinner dildo. If you choose a very large one, you might find it difficult to ride properly.
      3. Consider the material carefully. In general, more flexible dildos are easier to ride, as you can more easily manipulate them into specific positions or angles.
      4. Try different textures and designs! Ribbed, ridged or even fantasy dildos are great ways to add extra pleasure to your riding sessions.
      5. Experiment With Angles and Depths: Sometime the most obvious way to ride dildo isn’t the most pleasurable, so try out different ways of riding to hit just the right spots.

How to Ride Non-suction Dildos

Dildo riding might be simple when you have a suction cup, but can you ride the regular one you already own? It’s a little more difficult, but there’s still plenty of ways to ride other sex toys.
The simplest way is to simply hold your dildo in the position you want, and then ride away! It’s not ideal though, as your movement will be quite limited, you won’t be able to go as hard, and it’s not really that different to just using it normally.
If you’re into bondage, or just have any rope or string lying around, then you might be able to tie your dildo onto something. This functions just like a suction cup, and lets your ride in whichever position you want. Make sure you thoroughly clean the rope after use though as it can quickly become unhygienic.
In a similar way, a strap on harness can be a great way to make other dildos rideable. Simply attach it a chair or pillow and enjoy yourself! Depending on the harness, you might even be able to turn it inside out and grind on the dildo against any surface.
Another simple option is simple putting the dildo between two objects to hold it in place. You could use a pillow folded in half, a pair of pillows, or even put it between the mattress and bed frame. These solutions aren’t the best, as you need to make sure the dildo won’t move while you ride, but in a pinch they can get the job done.
For a more complex solution, why not turn your existing dildo into a suction cup dildo? There’s plenty of stand alone suction cups you can buy and attach to your dildo with strong glue or sticky pads. Then simply follow the advice above and enjoy dildo riding!

Other Sex Toys You Can Ride

Dildos aren’t the only sex toy you can ride. There’s plenty of other options if you’re looking for a change of pace.
A male sex doll is one of the most obvious options. Simply get on and ride!
It doesn’t have to be a full size sex doll if all you’re planning to do is ride it. You can find versions that only have the torso, or just the pelvic area.
Another easy option is a dildo mount or dildo chair. These have slots, holes or pockets that you place your dildo in to hold it in place while you ride. As they’re designed for this kind of play, they usually offer much more support than riding a regular dildo.
You can also try riding other toys like anal beads, or even vibrators for different kinds of sensations.

Riding a Dildo With a Partner

Dildo riding doesn’t have to be a solo activity! There’s plenty of things you can try while having sex with your partner.
A common favorite is during oral. While you give your partner some pleasure, place a dildo on the floor and ride up and down for your own enjoyment.
If one form of penetration isn’t enough for you, then using a dildo to explore double penetration is a great way to up the ante. Ride the dildo in cowgirl and let your partner penetrate you anally.
For a particularly dominant partner, you can even put a dildo in their mouth and ride all over their face! Gag dildos are designed to go over your partners mouth, and let you ride in a completely different way.
