A strap-on is a type of dildo or vibrator that is designed to be strapped to the wearer. Usually worn by women, this sex toy is designed to simulate a penis. Women can use it in a role-playing situation to have sex with another woman, or to anally penetrate a male partner.
The dildo or vibrator is held in place by a harness. Depending on the nature of the sexual activity and the size of the wearer, the harness can take a number of forms. In some designs, secondary toys can be attached to the belt to increase stimulation and provide different role-playing opportunities. A lot of users will use the sex toy with a sexual lubricant to make the process of penetration more comfortable.
There are various uses for the modern strap-on. For instance, it can be used for “pegging”, which involves a woman penetrating a man from behind. This highly popular sex toy can also be used for double penetration and masturbation, as well as for couples suffering the effects of erectile dysfunction.

A three-strap version has a waist strap and a separate strap for each leg. There are also corset strap-ons and various items of clothing that can be fitted with this sex toy. Women sometimes where these items clothing underneath everyday clothes to create a sense of reality in their roleplaying.
