Sex Toys, Part 3: Harnesses
Harnesses allow the user to have her hands delightfully free while engaging in intercourse with a partner. Most harnesses are leather because it is durable and will conform to your body over time. Nylon and vinyl harnesses are also available. These are easy to clean and are also “vegan,” if that is a concern.
There are two basic types of harnesses: g-string (or one-strap) and two-strap. G-string harnesses fit like a thong. Two-strap harnesses fit around your legs and tend to be more secure.
Harnesses are either secured to your body with buckles, d-rings, or elasticity (like the “Undercover Harness”). Buckles don’t slip but take more time to manipulate; D-rings are less secure but can be adjusted quickly. The elastic models are the quickest and simplest to get on. There are even models (e.g., “Commando”) that can alternate between one-strap and two-strap.
Some harnesses have a pouch that allows the wearer to insert a clitoral stimulator.
Others, like the “Annie O” are designed to accommodate two dildos so that each partner can be penetrated simultaneously.
Harnesses are available in larger sizes and, for those who might have limited mobility, there are some (like the “Thigh Harness”) which can wrap around your leg. These can also be fun for creative individuals as well.
Harnesses are expensive. If possible and practical, go to a sex shop and try different models to see which one (or which) style you like the best. If the sex shop doesn’t have the color or style you like, go on-line and, now that you know the style you want, choose the look that makes you feel sexy!
