We’re betting that incorporating a tentacle dildo into your sexy time is a lot more different than anything you and your partner tried before. Yes, you read that right — we said tentacle dildo. What is a tentacle dildo, you ask? A tentacle dildo is a silicone dildo shaped like an octopus tentacle. If you’re still confused, keep reading, and we’ll explain.
Tentacle Fetish
Tentacle fetish describes the sexual arousal of tentacles and the creatures that have them. A tentacle fetish means you fantasize about having sex with or watching someone have sex with a tentacle being, like an octopus or imagined alien form. People with a tentacle fetish often are interested in literature, images, or videos that depict tentacle sex, otherwise known as tentacle porn.
Tentacle erotica typically portrays encounters between women (sometimes men) and a tentacle being having non-consensual sex, or "tentacle rape." The arousal brought on by penetration from a tentacle being, monster, or even a plant, may have something to do with the idea of something non-human performing sexual actions on a human.
In many tentacle porn or tentacle sex depictions, the “victim” is held down or tied up with the creature’s tentacles. Restraint is a common kink for couples who dabble in BDSM or consensual non-consent (CNC) and a common theme in tentacle porn. Those who enjoy BDSM or watching tentacle porn may find it to be a manifestation of their desire to dominate or to be dominated.
Why Tentacle Porn Exists
Having a tentacle fetish doesn't mean you enjoy or condone bestiality. It doesn't necessarily mean you want to have sex with or watch someone have sex with an octopus. Tentacle porn is fantasy and is most often, if not entirely, portrayed by animated cartoons. Usually, the tentacled beings in these cartoons don't depict an actual tentacled animal but rather a fantastical creature of sorts.
Tentacle porn cartoons, also called hentai, originated from traditional Japanese stories and art. Tentacle porn dates back hundreds of years in Japanese literature and art, with the earliest known version in the form of Shunga, or traditional Japanese erotic woodblock carving. The Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife is the title of an ancient woodblock print that depicts a woman and an octopus, uh, going to town. Modern tentacle porn exists in cartoon movies or manga (Japanese comic books and graphic novels).
While modern tentacle porn is for those who enjoy the idea of interspecies penetration or CNC, it also exists for a more practical reason. In Japan, animators and filmmakers are subject to strict obscenity laws. Any image deemed too provocative or inappropriate is illegal, and its creators could be criminally apprehended. Genitalia in Japanese porn and hentai aren't allowed to be shown, which is why most Japanese live-action porn is often blurred. Tentacle porn skirts these stringent obscenity laws by using tentacles in place of appendages like hands, arms, legs, and, well, a penis. In a sense, tentacles are just a stand-in for male genitalia.
Why Are People Into Tentacle Porn?
For some people (a lot of people), the idea of sex with an octopus or any non-human creature sounds creepy. It’s weird and strange, which is also why it may be so appealing to those who enjoy it. Tentacle sex is bizarre and considered by many to be taboo, which adds a dangerous or naughty element. It’s also probable that most men and women who enjoy watching tentacle penetration equate it to their fantasies of penile penetration.
Watching multiple tentacled appendages penetrating all orifices of the receiver equates to fantasies of double penetration, orgies, and domination. The power play aspect of tentacle porn also portrays the receiver as vulnerable and unable to consent. Fetishizing this idea of non-consensual tentacle sex simply manifests one's desire for dominance and submission in the bedroom. In other cases, tentacle sex fulfills someone’s desire to experience non-male appendage penetration (those who identify as queer or who have experienced sexual trauma, for example).
While tentacle porn may be on the extreme side as far as fetishes go, it’s important to note that many people are into weird stuff. One study reported that nearly 36 percent of Americans have a fetish or kink, but the majority of them are afraid to admit it. Our opinion on sexual fetishes? If you’re not hurting anybody, let your freak flag fly. If that means you like to watch cartoon people and octopi getting it on, do it. Thanks to the internet, people can explore their uncommon sexual interests and connect with other people who share these interests. Tentacle porn provides a good outlet for those with a tentacle fetish, but for some, sex toys may also help satisfy their desires — and nothing satisfies a tentacle fetish more than a tentacle dildo.
Tentacle Dildos
A tentacle dildo is exactly what it sounds like: A dildo in the shape of a tentacle. Tentacle dildo sex toys are niche products that come in various sizes, colors, and materials. There's a dildo for nearly every kind of tentacled being. Some tentacle dildos look like an octopus, while others resemble more of an alien-like appendage.
Tentacle dildos are perfect for exploring your interest in tentacle sex. The best tentacle dildos have realistic features such as textures that mimic the suction cup parts (also called “suckers”) on real octopus tentacles. The realistic textures make vaginal or anal penetration more pleasurable by adding friction. Below are a few tentacle dildo options you should check out if you're interested in exploring the world of tentacle sex fetish, or just looking for a new sensation from your sex toys.

Best Overall Pick: Dual Layered Silicone Tentacle Dildo
The dual-layered silicone tentacle dildo by Lovetoy is ideal for kinkier couples who like to delve into the more realistic tentacle sex role-play. This kinky sex toy is ultra-soft with flexible silicone and realistic colors, lines, and textures to look like a real alien or octopus tentacle.
It’s a little more on the wild side, especially regarding the size. Though it features a slightly tapered tip, it measures a whopping 10-inch circumference around the shaft. The dual-layered tentacle dildo feels like the real thing, especially inside you. Like the rainbow tentacle dildo, the dual-layered silicone tentacle dildo has a suction cup base for those who prefer to ride their dildo solo.
If tentacle sex is something you’re totally into, then a realistic tentacle dildo is necessary. You can let your imagination run wild and pretend you are riding an actual tentacle, minus the fishy smell.

Best Budget Pick: Rainbow Silicone Tentacle Dildo
The rainbow silicone tentacle dildo by the Leyuto store is perfect for experienced customers. Still, there's no reason a beginner can’t enjoy it as long as they use it correctly. The rainbow silicone tentacle dildo may even be ideal for newcomers to tentacle sex simply because of the tentacle dildo sex toy’s cartoonish appeal.
This tentacle dildo appears more playful than realistic given its rainbow coloring and exaggerated octopus-like “suckers” that help to stimulate the G-spot, clitoris, and anus. It has a tapered tip that develops into quite a thick shaft. The rainbow silicone tentacle dildo also features a suction cup base, making it ideal for sticking to flat surfaces (the shower wall or hard floor, for example) to ride solo. It’s waterproof and made from super-soft silicone, allowing plenty of flexibility in the shaft. For beginners, the makers of the rainbow tentacle dildo suggest not exceeding an insertion depth of more than 4.5 inches.

Crystal Glass Tentacle Dildo
If you and your partner enjoy anal penetration and are fans of butt plug sex toys, this crystal glass tentacle dildo by Akstore is perfect for you. Glass dildo sex toys are more suited for anal penetration rather than vaginal penetration due to the inflexibility of the material. However, glass dildo sex toys are easier to clean and don’t smell like silicone materials. They also create less friction!
The crystal glass tentacle dildo is a curved tentacle with numerous small nubs along the shaft for extra pleasure. These small nubs stimulate the anal canal — a highly overlooked erogenous zone. The nerves inside the anal canal are extremely sensitive, and if played with just right, you can experience an anal orgasm (yes, they’re real!). Heat or cool your glass toy to add an extra element of spice to your tentacle sex role-play.

Dragon Licker Silicone Dildo
While not technically a tentacle dildo, the dragon-licker silicone dildo falls in the category of human and creature sex fetish. The dragon licker dildo resembles a dragon tongue. It’s made from flexible silicone and features realistic lines and textures to mimic a real tongue. The dragon licker is smaller than most tentacle dildos, measuring just 7.5-inch insertion length with a 2.25-inch shaft. However, the realistic curved shape of the dragon licker dildo will make you feel like you're having oral sex with an actual dragon or alien creature.
You may enjoy the dragon licker dildo simply for its unusual shape. It’s exciting to play with new toys that stimulate us in different ways. If you enjoy receiving oral sex, a large silicone tongue may be able to satisfy your desire.

Tips for Using a Tentacle Dildo
A tentacle dildo is fun for both men and women and perfect for vaginal or anal penetration. If you enjoy tentacle porn, using a tentacle dildo sex toy takes your fantasies to the next level. If you simply want to explore your sexuality and try a new sensation, invest in a tentacle dildo. Whether you’re a tentacle dildo veteran or a newbie, we’ve got a few tips for making your experience even more enjoyable.
If you're introducing one in bed with your partner, make sure you talk to them first. Informed consent and boundaries are important for an enjoyable sex toy experience.
Use Plenty of Lube
Lubrication is essential for having comfortable and enjoyable penetration. Tentacle dildos are not self-lubricating, and the materials they are often made from (like silicone) dry out quickly, creating uncomfortable friction during penetration. Lube is especially recommended for anal penetration as the anal canal does not create its lubrication as a vagina does. Find a lube gel compatible with the material of your dildo — silicone-based lube isn't compatible with silicone toys. For best results, use a generous amount of lube before insertion and reapply as needed.
Try it Solo
Tentacle dildo sex toys are fun to experiment with in the bedroom with your partner and add an extra pleasure level. However, tentacle dildo sex toys with suction cup bottoms make this an easy sex toy to use on your own. Masturbation is normal and essential for figuring out how our bodies respond best to stimulation. If you don’t know what makes you orgasm, it can be difficult to tell your partner how to do it.
Most women need clitoral stimulation to climax, but if they’re lucky, they may experience a G-spot orgasm. The G-spot is in the upper front wall of the vagina and is said to be capable of inducing earth-shattering orgasms. The best way to find your G-spot is to experiment by yourself using your fingers or a dildo. A tentacle dildo is useful in G-spot stimulation due to the curved tapered tip and textured nubs or “suckers.” So, whether you’re into tentacle sex or not, a tentacle dildo is a consideration for your next sex toy purchase.
Get Creative
Tentacle dildo sex toys are about satisfying a tentacle fetish, so why not make the experience as realistic as possible? Sex is about having fun and experimenting with ways to derive pleasure. As long as your sexual desires don’t hurt anybody, you should never feel ashamed or embarrassed to pursue your desires. If a tentacle fetish is your thing, then have fun with your tentacle dildo and make it a memorable experience.
Reenact a scene from one of your favorite tentacle porn movies or manga. You can purchase multiple tentacle dildo sex toys if you want to experience double penetration (a popular trend in tentacle porn) and invest in bondage gear to mimic tentacle bondage (also popular in tentacle porn). Try watching your favorite tentacle porn videos while you’re using your tentacle dildo to get you more in the mood.
Use It on Other Parts of Your Body
Who said a tentacle dildo is only for penetration? Because of tentacle dildo sex toys’ textured design, they work well for stimulating other body parts. Caressing your body with your tentacle dildo sex toys small nubs, “suckers,” and realistic lines can feel good. It may feel incredibly pleasurable on your nipples, stomach, or buttocks. Using your tentacle dildo to caress your body before sex and masturbation is excellent foreplay and gets you even more invested in tentacle sex role-play.
Go Slow
Many tentacle dildo sex toys are larger in circumference than regular dildo sex toys. It's easy to insert because they have tapered tips, but inserting too much too soon may be painful. Instruct your partner to go slow when inserting your tentacle dildo sex toy into your vagina or anus. If you're experimenting with your tentacle dildo on your own, only insert it as deep as you're comfortable. It may take some time to get used to your tentacle dildo sex toy’s size and texture, so don’t feel discouraged if the first-time use feels awkward or uncomfortable.
The Takeaway
If you’ve never heard of a tentacle fetish, tentacle porn, or tentacle dildo sex toys until now, you’re not alone. Tentacle fetishes are a niche kink but no less worthy of attention than any other fetish. While your initial reaction to tentacle sex might have been confusion or even repulsion (who would want to have sex with an octopus?) It’s important to note the history and symbolism behind tentacle porn.
For many people, tentacle sex fantasies explore their submissive side or their desire for penetration that doesn’t involve a male appendage. Whatever the reason, we are all entitled to pleasure ourselves however we like. If a tentacle dildo gets you off, you need to give no other explanation. All consensual sex is good sex!
