I was recently asked the question ‘Is it possible to cum so hard you break your dildo?’ It got me thinking about my past experiences with sex toys but it’s not something I’d ever really taken into consideration. Sure, I’ve broken a few sex toys in my time – and it’s not necessarily a good thing – but has anyone ever experienced a toy shatter from a particularly intense orgasm?
My initial thought was an emphatic ‘no’. It seemed like such a ludicrous idea that a dildo could get absolutely destroyed from someone cumming hard. Over the years I’d heard all kinds of stories about dildos being destroyed by intense orgasms – but all these stories were just that – stories. I hadn’t actually experienced this myself – nor had anyone I could recall ever told me about having a dildo shatter from an intense orgasm. So, it made sense to assume it just wasn’t possible.
But then I started to consider the racy stuff I’d read about in erotica – stories where the intensity of the orgasm was so strong that the dildo being used shattered all over the bedsheets! Maybe these stories were on to something. Maybe it was possible for someone to cum so hard they actually broke their toy!
I couldn’t help but be intrigued so I started to research the topic. I read numerous health blogs and scientific research papers and it seemed like it was possible. Apparently the most intense orgasm someone can have can last for several minutes – which, in dildo-shattering terms, is a considerable amount of time. According to the research, most dildos are made of relatively soft material and, when exposed to intense pleasure, they can become very hot. This can weaken the body of the toy, making it more vulnerable to breaking.
This led me to wonder if the intensity of an orgasm was affected by the type of toy being used? A rare few dildos are made from hard silicone – the kind typically used in industrial vibrators and medical-grade sex toys. But surely these can’t be broken by an orgasm. After all, these toys are durable enough to withstand vigorous use – and most have a lifetime warranty.
But there’s definitely something to be said for the softer and more supple materials that make up the majority of dildos. It stands to reason that the higher the intensity and the softer the material, the higher the chances of ending up with a shattered dildo.
So, is it possible to cum so hard you break your dildo? Based on my research, I think it’s safe to say that it is possible. Obviously, it’s unlikely – but it could happen. I recommend doing your research and making sure you choose a toy made from a durable material and that you use it responsibly. It sounds simple enough – and it could save you from a shattered dildo situation.
