How to Use the Doc Johnson TitanMen Intimidator Safely

Quick answer

Treat the Intimidator as a destination toy, not a starting point: warm up with smaller toys first, use plenty of lubricant, and advance along the graduated shaft only as your body relaxes. Stop at any sharp pain, and never force the widest section before you can comfortably take the one below it.

Step-by-step: using the Intimidator safely

1. 1. Set up your space and supplies: Lay out a water-based or hybrid lubricant, tissues, and a towel within reach. Keep the toy clean and inspect the ribbed shaft for any nicks before use. Common mistake: starting without lubricant nearby, then rushing to find it mid-session. Have everything within arm's reach before you begin so you never have to interrupt a warm-up to search for supplies.
2. 2. Warm up with a smaller toy: Spend at least five to ten minutes with a smaller plug or trainer you already use comfortably. Move it gently and focus on relaxing your pelvic floor. Common mistake: treating warm-up as a formality and jumping to the Intimidator after one minute. If the smaller toy still feels tight, stay with it; that is your signal to delay the Intimidator, not push through.
3. 3. Apply lubricant generously: Coat the first few inches of the Intimidator and your entrance with lubricant. Reapply as needed during the session. Common mistake: using too little lubricant because the ribbed texture feels slippery at first. If you feel drag or friction, stop and add more lubricant before continuing.
4. 4. Insert only the first graduated section: Guide the tip in slowly while breathing out, and stop once the first section is in. Hold it there and let your muscles adjust. Common mistake: aiming for depth on the first insertion instead of width. The first section should feel comfortable before you consider advancing; discomfort here means you need more warm-up.
5. 5. Advance one section at a time: When the current section feels relaxed, move to the next graduated step. Pause at each new width for several breaths before going further. Common mistake: skipping a section because the previous one felt easy. Each section is a checkpoint; if a new width pinches, go back to the previous one and wait.
6. 6. Stop at the first sign of sharp pain: Sharp pain, burning, or numbness means stop immediately and withdraw slowly. Do not try to 'push through' to prove progress. Common mistake: ignoring a warning signal because you are close to a goal. Ending a session early is a successful session; pain is not a stretching milestone.
7. 7. Clean the toy after use: Wash the Intimidator thoroughly with warm soapy water, rinse, and dry it before storing. Common mistake: leaving it damp or storing it against other materials without cleaning. Clean and dry the toy before you put it away so it is ready and hygienic for the next session.
