THE ORIGINS OF DILDOS: AN EXPERT'S PERSPECTIVE ON THE CREATION OF OUR BELOVED TOYS

Often, when enjoying the pleasures of your dildo, the question of its origin seldom comes to mind. However, it might be intriguing to contemplate this occasionally.

Have you ever pondered over the creation of your cherished nocturnal companion? Was it the result of a standardized factory-line process, shaped in a mold? Alternatively, did it emerge from the skilled hands of a craftsman, who painstakingly sculpts only a limited number of unique dildos each year?

Could its design have been influenced by a porn star, a fictional character, or a mythical being? Or is it an embodiment of pure imagination, unrelated to any cock, past, present, or future? What mysterious narrative lies behind your intimate friend?

We take immense pleasure in offering engaging and enlightening articles ranging from the dildo's historical background to advice on discreetly storing your dildo when living with roommates.

Therefore, we are delighted to share the next installment in our series - 'Unusual yet intriguing facts about your dildo': A captivating exploration into the seldom talked about realm of dildo production!

MATERIAL SELECTION: A PRIORITY

The art of crafting dildos is varied, it is quite likely that each piece in your collection was fashioned by a different creator or technique.

This is predominantly due to the materia.

MOLDING MARVELS

Modern dildo manufacturing predominantly utilizes the technique referred to as molding. This procedure efficiently and safely facilitates the crafting of dildos from a plethora of materials including silicone - currently the most favored, as indicated by numerous studies - foam, CyberSkin, multiple types of plastic, and jelly-like elastomer among others.

As the moniker implies, these dildos are formed in molds, and mass-produced in factory-like establishments frequently located in regions such as California. Surprisingly, the majority of American dildo crafters are based in the peripheries of Hollywood - potentially leading to the Silicon Valley being rebranded as Silicone Valley in the future!

This doesn't imply that these dildos lack the uniqueness of artistic creations. Professional sculptors employ materials like clay to create a 'prototype' or 'model' for each produced dildo.

Significant effort and thought are dedicated to determining the dildo's size, form, and aesthetics. Each vein, ridge, twist, or knot is meticulously and intentionally integrated to augment the ultimate pleasure of the dildo's future user.

While most dildos stem from the artist's distinctive imagination, an increasing number of male porn stars and erotic models have agreed to have molds of their genitals made for fans to emulate a more personal experience. In these scenarios, the star visits the facility, and their genitals are thoroughly photographed, analyzed, and cast in plaster to ensure maximal precision.

A mold, often silicone due to its aptness for the cylindrical form and intricate nature of dildo molds, is then created from this prototype. Larger parts, like car bumpers or even bathroom sinks, are typically molded in lightweight metals such as aluminum.

However, these metals are generally deemed too rigid for dildo production. Hence, silicone serves a dual purpose - as both a production and molding material.

Post the mold's formation and solidification, the production material (silicone, plastic, foam, etc.) is inserted in liquid form. In the case of a multilayered dildo, multiple materials may be utilized at this juncture.

Within the mold, the dildo solidifies into its final shape, transforming from a mere vat of amorphous liquid into a new and thrilling entity. Although this is a time-consuming process, patience is rewarded as premature removal would result in an unsatisfactorily soft product.

Following the removal of each dildo from the mold, there is still much to be done. Due to the imperfect nature of silicone molding, many products emerge with bits of loose silicone, requiring inspection and trimming to ensure resemblance to the prototype.

Minute cracks and deformities are immediately addressed to prevent a reduction in the dildo's integrity and lifespan. Today, all dildos undergo inspections to certify their adherence to health and safety standards and the absence of harmful materials like phthalates. Medical-grade silicone is typically employed to maximize safety, usability, and pleasurable tactile sensation.

Upon the completion of quality inspection, the dildo is passed onto specialized professionals who add finishing touches. Dildos are painted, shaded, and decorated with finely drawn veins or other aesthetic features.

If the dildo is designed to feature pubic hair, synthetic fibers are sewn or woven, as molded or painted hair doesn't provide the desired comfort or realism. Dildo manufacturing facilities employ teams of expert sewers dedicated to the pubic hair of each model.

The final stage entails securing the dildos in plastic packaging and boxing them up for safe transport. Though most dildos are sturdy and resistant to damage, they are typically wrapped in plastic and padded with bubble wrap or packing peanuts to ensure they arrive intact.

Moreover, to maintain discretion, most dildos are shipped in unmarked boxes or boxes with misleading labels to conceal the package's sexually explicit contents.

Remarkable Metal and Glass Creations

Glass and stainless steel stand apart from other materials such as silicone, rubber, and CyberSkin, primarily due to their inability to conform to standard molding processes. This stems from their need for exceedingly high temperatures for shaping, which silicone molds are generally incompatible with.

Moreover, collectors and enthusiasts often find the artistic merit and distinctive designs of glass and stainless steel dildos appealing. In comparison, dildos crafted from other materials, such as wood, ceramic, or clay, seem less intriguing due to their mass-production, and hence, are deemed less valuable.

Given this scenario, such dildos are not typically factory-made. Instead, they are handcrafted by individual artisans or small collectives of craftsmen.

When it comes to glass dildos, they are created through glass blowing. This traditional art form lends them a delicate, ornamental, yet sturdy aesthetic. Being an art requiring intensive practice and experience, glass artisans often spend years mastering their craft before venturing into the creation of sex toys such as dildos and plugs.

Stainless steel counterparts, on the other hand, are brought to life by harnessing the power of high-heat ovens, similar to a blacksmith's forge. These end products are visually appealing, reflecting light brilliantly and offering a surprisingly soft, smooth, and tactile experience.

While these metal creations may not boast the vibrant hues of glass counterparts, they come in an array of shapes and sizes. They cater to a wide audience, ranging from novices seeking their first dildos to experienced users in pursuit of more sizeable options for an invigorating experience.

One advantage of individually handcrafted glass and metal dildos is the possibility for personalization. You can commission an artisan to create a piece tailored to your specifications in terms of size, shape, color, and additional features to enhance your pleasure.

The outcome of such personalized creations is a stunning piece of functional art that celebrates your unique sexuality.
