Things to Consider When Choosing a Monkey Rocker or Sex Glider

If you want to introduce some new toys into your arsenal when it comes to solo play or sex with partners, then one fairly versatile option that will have something to offer for most women (as well as men who enjoy being penetrated) is a monkey rocker or sex glider. These come in many forms of complexity, but in most cases are devices you ride that you use your own body movements to control (though options with machine-powered penetration capabilities are also available).

Pros and Cons of Monkey Rockers and Sex Gliders

Here are some of the major advantages and disadvantages of this type of sex toy:

 

• Pros:

 

• Generally silent, unless vibrating or machine options are used
• Offer ways to play on your own or with a partner
• Comfortable
• Easy to use
• Low maintenance
• Can be used with a wide variety of dildos for vaginal or anal penetration
• Can also be used for face sitting with a partner
• Most models accommodate a wide range of weights

 

• Cons

 

• Take up space – most are also difficult to really disguise as anything else in your home
• Can be expensive

If you are looking to buy a monkey rocker or sex glider, Badum Tish has a great comparison of some of the leading options here. Here are some things you may want to think about when choosing what type of product is best for you.

Aesthetics

The look of these toys can vary widely from minimalist, cheaper products to more luxurious ones that can look like high-end gym equipment, with leather padding and aircraft-grade metal parts (though the dildo is still going to make it look very much like what it is). If the aesthetic is important to you, for instance, you are looking to fit out your own dungeon or pleasure room and want beautiful looking items, or you simply find using higher-end-looking stuff more arousing, then this is definitely something to factor into your choice. If you’re more about function than form, however, and plan to have the toy put away out of sight when you’re not using it, then the more basic looking toys tend to be cheaper and so could be a good option.

Versatility

There are a lot of things you can do with many of the models, and these usually include using them solo for vaginal or anal penetration, using them while also with a partner, for double penetration with just one partner, or removing the dildo and having your partner position their face under the seat for comfortable face-sitting. Different models will be better than others for each of these things when it comes to comfort and design, so think about what you’re most interested in when using the toy for while you’re shopping.

These are just some of the things you should have in the back of your mind while you’re making a decision about which new sex toy to invest in! Have fun choosing yours!
