I think its great that you have a genuine curiosity. I agree that the best thing to do is try it in a safe environment. I was just like you and now my strap-on is one of my new best friends, but i still love the guys. I say dive right in, unless of course you want to be with a woman just to get attention from guys, girls like that drive me crazy.
