So We Tried a Fantasy Dildo… And Honestly? Game Changer.

By Tom

Right, quick context: we’re not beginners. My girlfriend and I already have a little toy drawer, we know what we like, and nothing in our sex life was crying out for “fixing”.

We were just… curious.

That’s how we ended up trying a fantasy dildo — not because we wanted anything extreme, not because we were bored with each other, but because we both looked at the texture and went, “That actually looks like it would feel really good.”

And we were right.

Wait… What Even Is a Fantasy Dildo?

A fantasy dildo is basically a toy that doesn’t try to look like a realistic penis. Instead, it leans into creative shapes, unusual curves, ridges, and imaginative designs.

That might sound a bit out there, but in practice? It often just means:

  • More varied texture
  • More interesting contours
  • A bit of visual fun that doesn’t feel like a comparison to a real body

That last bit is bigger than I expected. Because it’s clearly not trying to be realistic, it felt playful rather than pressure-filled. It was about sensation and curiosity, not performance.

The Fantasy Dildo We Tried:

One thing I didn’t realise before going down the fantasy rabbit hole is how different they can feel from each other. The shapes aren’t just for looks — they genuinely change the sensation and the style of play.

Here’s how the one we explored worked out:

The tentacle-style ridges create a wave-like sensation rather than one single pressure point.

What that means in practice:

  • Great for slow, exploratory movement
  • The texture encourages you to take your time
  • Feels more about sensation building than intensity

Because the detailing runs along the shaft, it pairs really well with plenty of lube and a slower pace. It’s a good pick if you’re curious about fantasy toys mainly for the textured dildos experience.

The Texture Factor (This Is What Surprised Me Most)

I’ll be honest — I thought the visual side would be the main event.

It wasn’t.

It was the texture.

Fantasy toys often have ridges, ripples, curves and raised details you just don’t get on more traditional shapes. That creates changing sensations as the toy moves, rather than one consistent feeling.

What I noticed straight away was that it encouraged:

  • Slower movement – rushing didn’t make sense, exploring did
  • More communication – “That bit feels good”, “Try that angle again”
  • Less autopilot – we were both more present

“Isn’t That a Bit… Much?” Common Worries

Let’s tackle the stuff people don’t always say out loud.

Myth: Fantasy toys are only for super kinky people

Reality: Plenty of people use them simply because they like the extra texture and different feel. Curiosity doesn’t come with a label.

Myth: It’s weird to bring into a relationship

Reality: Framing matters. “This looks fun to try together” lands very differently from “We need something new.”

Myth: It’ll feel intimidating

Reality: You control everything — pace, depth, angle, when to stop. You can explore for 30 seconds and decide that’s enough.

Myth: It replaces a partner

Reality: In our case, it did the opposite. It gave us a new way to interact and be involved with each other.

It’s Not About Wild. It’s About Different.

Trying a fantasy dildo didn’t suddenly turn us into different people. It didn’t replace anything we already liked.

It just added a new kind of sensation and a new kind of moment.

Less routine. More exploration. More laughter. More “ooh, that’s new.”

And honestly, that’s sometimes all you need.

Tom’s Takeaway

You don’t have to be fearless or wildly adventurous to try a fantasy toy. You just have to be curious. If the texture looks interesting and the idea of hands-free play makes you raise an eyebrow (in a good way), that’s reason enough to explore.

No pressure. No performance. Just something different to discover together — or on your own.
