Strap-on (străp ôn) n. A sex toy device usually with long narrow strips of pliant material such as leather which connects a dildo to the wearer's body, usually in a position similar to that of a male's genitals.... (also see strap-on dildo, strapon, dildo harness, or strapless dildo)
Pleasure for the wearer of the strap-on generally comes from pressure against the genitals, particularly the clitoris, during use and from psychological arousal. Many designs of strap-on have various features to increase the stimulation of the wearer. Some harnesses intentionally leave the genital area and anus open (either intentionally with an opening in the material or by the design simply not having any straps that would cover it), which allows any toy to be used for the stimulation of the wearer, or even for the wearer to be penetrated while wearing the strap-on. This can often be useful when the partners wish to switch roles during their play, as the strap-on can be put on before hand without interfering or needing to be taken off for play to continue.
