How to use a stainless steel sex toy

The first time I held a stainless sex toy in my hand, I was struck by its mass and texture. Weighty and smooth, the toy had a presence, and I suspected the shiny device would be a sound investment and a welcome addition to my bedside drawer.

My stainless steel sex toys and I have come far, and today I'll show you how to use a stainless steel sex toy and have a great time with them.

Stainless steel toys at first glimpse

At first glimpse, you might feel a bit intimidated, after all, stainless steel has a reputation for being a heavyweight, unyielding metal – but don’t let that put you off.

Stainless steel sex toys are shiny and sleek, with a sophisticated edge that sets them apart from wobbly, rubbery dildos and garish vibrators.

They are also made to last, which gets a huge tick in the box from me. 

The weight of stainless steel sex toys naturally adds intensity to play, making it easy to stimulate the G-spot, clit, and anus with precision.

Metal dildos and metal butt plugs, especially from leading brands like nJoy and Le Wand, are known for their sleek designs and ability to enhance sensation through weight and smoothness, providing a luxurious and stimulating experience.

Getting started

Like all sex toys, I would suggest getting to know your new device before you use it to arouse yourself, or anyone else.

It’s worth reading the instructions (I know that can be boring) but it’ll help you get to grips with your toy and understand how best to use it. 

I’m a fan of quality sex toys and stainless steel sex toys ooze quality. The high-grade metal is a bonus for me, as I suffer from sensitive skin. I don’t have to worry about phthalates or other potential issues. If I’m using a sex toy near my pussy or anus, I always ''arm'' myself with water-based sex lubricants to use too. 

Thankfully, when you’re using a stainless steel sex toy, you can use all sorts of lube including silicone sex lubricants and oil-based sex lubricants.

Lube reduces friction and will help give your stainless steel toy a nice amount of glide and slide. 

If you’re inserting the toy, take it slowly.

Always engage in foreplay to get in the mood – if you’re feeling tense you’ll find the experience uncomfortable rather than fun. 

Creative ways to use a stainless steel sex toy 

There are plenty of ways to play, and the type of stainless steel sex toy you choose to use can help you come up with naughty games and fun.

My partner and I like to engage in medical play from time to time and we have a funky-looking stainless steel speculum that comes in handy. 

I enjoy the clinical feel of having a speculum inserted into my pussy or ass, to spread my lips or cheeks and enable my lover to take a good long look.

I feel vulnerable being forced to open up in such a way, but it also makes me feel incredibly horny.

Especially, as I know he is savoring the view of my open holes as he wanks himself off. 

The Wartenberg pinwheel is another fave of ours. The stainless steel pinwheel features a handle with a spiky wheel at the top. You run the prickly wheel over naked skin to experience the sting and scratch.

Once upon a time, the devices were used by medical staff to test reflexes, but nowadays pinwheels are a staple in many a kinky kit bag. 

When we are using a pinwheel, we like to incorporate bondage into our play.

My partner uses wrist and ankle restraints to restrict my movement.

When I’m lying naked, with blindfolds for sex restricting my view, it’s difficult to remain unflustered (which is half the fun).

My pulse races as my lover walks and struts around, casually stroking my bare flesh, first with his hand and then with the pinwheel. The transition from soft to sharp often causes me to catch my breath and never fails to excite.  

Stainless steel butt plugs (metal butt plugs) are fun to use too, and perfect if you’re new to anal play.

I used a stainless-steel plug on a partner a while ago. He was apprehensive about having the toy stuck up his ass but had a penchant for the full feeling he knew he would experience once the plug had been inserted.

I always opt for a plug with an easy-to-grab handle, this makes for safe play and puts both of our minds at rest. 

Another go-to toy is the stainless-steel wand (metal dildos).

Often considered a classic, the wand comes in a variety of lengths and designs.

My particular favorite is a stainless steel wand that boasts bulbous balls at either end of a curved shaft - the nJoy Pure Wand.

My toy also features textured internal walls that provide added stimulation when the wand is thrust inside, perfect for a knee-trembling climax. 

Temperature play using stainless steel sex toys

Stainless steel toys are also great for temperature play.

You can warm up the toy or cool it down. To heat your toy just run it under warm water, and to get it nice and chilled simply pop it in the fridge or run it under the cold tap. 

Don’t forget to check the temperature of the toy with your fingers before you start getting close to your nether regions.

No one wants a burnt or iced cock, pussy or ass!

Cleaning stainless steel sex toys

As sex toys go, I’d say stainless steel gadgets and gizmos are up there among the most impressive.

Aside from their versatility and durability, they are also exceptionally easy to keep clean, which is a massive plus point. 

You can clean stainless steel toys by placing them in a bowl of boiling water, or by bunging them in the top rack of the dishwasher with your mugs, plates, knives, and forks.

Once they are dry pack your stainless steel toys neatly away until you’re ready to get frisky again.
