Insertive sex can be a big deal, so make sure you are communicating with your partner before, during and after the event. Use lube, make sure your partner is relaxed and don’t forget about their other sexy parts (clitoris, penis, tits, butts and such).

For more information about strapping it on check out the above video of  Self Serve’s Molly Adler as she gives a five-part video tutorial on tips and tricks for strapping it on.
