The Ultimate Guide to Knot Dildos & Knotted Sex Toys
Our Ultimate ATMS Guide to Knot Dildos & Knotted Sex Toys
All sorts of impossible anatomies can be found in the adult toy scene, but none so naughty as knot dildos! Whether you’re in the mood for something giving werewolf vibes or a dildo that's more tentacle than human, sex toys with knots can fuel your fantasy. Did you miss the memo on knotted toys? All will be revealed.
What are knot dildos?
Let’s set the scene with a few fun facts about biology. Canids (think dogs, wolves, and foxes) have an area at the base of their penis which swells into a “knot” during intercourse to “lock” the male and female animals together. Knotted dildos have a similar appearance to this beastly inspiration - though with a fantasy touch, of course.Most dildos have shafts that don’t vary much in width other than the odd bump or vein. Knotted dildos, on the other hand, have an enlarged bulge at the base of the shaft. This bulge may be a slight size difference, or it may be a girthy, egg-like swelling. The knot might be right at the base, or higher up the shaft. There’s a huge variety of knot dildos to be discovered!
What are knotted sex toys?
A knotted sex toy refers to any sex toy which has the iconic bulge and is intended for, or to enhance penetrative sex. Knotted sex toys are all about insertion and internal pleasure, so you’ll tend to see them on more phallic toys.Knots aren’t just for dildos, though! Penis sleeves with knots allow you or your partner to become the monster you’ve always dreamed of. If you’re looking for a knot dildo with that extra something to take you over the edge, you can even find squirting dildos with knots!
Why do people use knotted dildos and knot sex toys?
We don’t need to dissect our wants and needs too thoroughly to see that dildos with knots are just visually appealing! As a subset of fantasy sex toys, they often provide detailed textures and beautiful swirling colours. On smaller toys, a knot may appear as a funky shape that will hit all the right spots. That being said…Knots are all about breeding in the animal kingdom, and within the kink sphere, they can fill this desire and more.
The physical challenge of asking your body to accept something “too big” has proved its popularity with the perseverance of giant dildos and oversized butt plugs. Knots can provide a similar sensation to being “full” or stretched, which appeals to some.
More than their size, however, knotted toys have a link to fantasy creatures your standard dildo is missing! Are you team Jacob? Werewolves, like their doggy ancestors, are sometimes depicted with knots in more provocative forms of media. Plenty of “romantasy” books feature an overprotective alpha searching for their mate. A knot dildo can be your way of playing out that fantasy.
Sex toys with knots, especially the squirting variety, might also appeal to those with a breeding kink. Knots can be used to keep any ejaculate within yourself or your partner, acting as a plug for all those good juices.
How to choose a knot dildo or knotted sex toy
Ask yourself what type of play you want to try. Is this all for you to enjoy, or do you plan to involve a partner? While dildos are the more common knotted sex toy, don’t forget that you can find penis sleeves and squirting toys with knots as well!Size is going to be a huge factor when considering your new knotted sex toy. Fantasy sex toys often veer towards the extreme, with 10 inches being a common length. Knots add an extra level on top of the standard length or girth, so be sure to check the measurements carefully before purchasing. You may decide to start small before upgrading to a bigger bulge!
Personal taste is the most important factor in choosing a knot sex toy. Fantasy toys, knots and all, let you explore your desires and bring your dreams to life. Are you a fan of our furry werewolf friends? Or do you daydream about getting wet and wild with a few tentacled creatures? Dragons, centaurs, ogres, aliens… Find the toy that fits your fantasy!
How to use knotted sex toys
Getting freaky with your new knot dildo? You’ll want a good dollop of lube on your toy. Maybe a little more. Keep going… One more squirt for good luck!Knots can be seriously large, so lubricant is a must-have to help prevent discomfort or injury. Check what your toy’s made out of, and be sure you use a compatible lube. water-based lubricant is always a good bet – it’s safe to use with silicone, TPE, and most common toy materials.
Preparation is another big thing to consider when using a knot sex toy. Make sure you or your partner are relaxed and turned on (never skip the foreplay, even when alone!) to help accommodate a sizable knot. A tip for vulva owners: orgasms can help relax your muscles further before inserting a full knot!
Preparation is even more essential if you’re using a knotted toy anally. Make sure there is a substantial flared base below the knot to avoid any incidents, and start small! If your goal is a large knotted dildo, start with a smaller anal toy first and gradually size up. Don’t rush your body! If trying to take a knot hurts, go back to a smaller toy, add more lube, or work on relaxing those muscles before trying again.
Knots don’t have to be inserted to be enjoyed, however. You may prefer to grind down on a knot while riding the shaft, especially if your toy has some fun textures going on. Fantasy sleeves with knots can also act as a type of “bumper” to limit the depth of penetration, as well as the fun fantasy look.
As with any toy; take your time, listen to your body, and have fun!
