plural of dildo
"He bought two different dildos from the store, so now he has a few options for his partner to choose from."
In plain English: Dildos are fake penises made of soft material that people use for sexual pleasure.
"The store sells a wide variety of dildos for adults."
Usage: Dildos are artificial sex toys designed for sexual stimulation and should be referred to by their specific name in adult contexts rather than euphemisms. Use this term directly when discussing the object itself without needing further elaboration on its function.
Derived from the Greek tildos, meaning "to twist," this term originally referred to twisting one's body in sleep but was later adopted as slang for male genitalia before becoming the standard plural noun for artificial phalluses. The singular form is also dildos, though historically it has been spelled with an 'o' at the end (dildo) since the 18th century.
