For many individuals, penetration during sexual acts and intercourse is a welcome part of their pleasure routine. For others, penetration can be a cause of fear, worry, and pain. They welcome and desire intimacy and intercourse but fear the pain they may experience upon penetration. This is why penetration blockers, like the Oh Nut, can be incredibly beneficial for those who need to control the depth of penetration during sex.

Who can benefit from penetration control?

Anyone! Anyone who is being penetrated by genitalia or devices might not want those devices to be inserted quite so far into their bodies. In some situations, it might be difficult to voice or be vocal about those wants or dislikes during the act. Using a device designed to help block deep penetration can help to keep your intimate act flowing smoothly, with less worry.

What are penetration control devices?

Penetration control devices are typically worn around the penile shaft, or around a certain point on a dildo or device, that prevents further insertion or penetration past the point where the device rests. Worn on a penis, this prevents the penis owner from being able to penetrate further than the visible parts of the penis that is showing (NIH).

There are a few different types of penetration blockers, but our preferred brand and style is the, OhNut. OhNut offers customizable penetration depth, meaning that you can always adjust to “more” or “less,” depending on your changing body and needs. It has four interlocking rings that can be stacked, so the level of penetration control is entirely up to the user. Plus, the rings are soft and stretchy, feeling soft like skin.

The Ohnut is perfect for those going through chemotherapy, radiation, those with pelvic floor issues and disorders, and numerous other reasons. Using sexual devices might feel strange at first, but they can truly alleviate the pain caused from penetration. We recommend discussing the issues you are having with intimacy and intercourse with your partner so you can work together towards the goals with the pleasure you desire.
