It has always seemed to me that when a woman straps on a fake dick, she is trying to be a man. She is admitting that Freud was right. Women do have penis envy. I can't imagine finding it arousing to put on fake boobs or a plastic vag.
See, I don't see it this way, and, quite frankly, I see the tendency to project such sentiment onto an object to be an issue on the part of the individual who perceives it in such a way, rather than being -my- issue.
I see a dildo/strap-on less as a representation of anatomical -anything- than as a convenient tool. Anything would work, but a strap-on gives one the convenience of a tool that you don't need your hands to use. It's never been that interesting for me, because, frankly, penetration play has never been that interesting to me, but if I were to use it, it would essentially be irrelevant whether it looked like a penis or just had the right diameter and length for the penetration I planned on doing, and in fact, on the rare occasion that I actually want something like this, I tend to prefer strap-on attachment penetration toys that are -not- shaped like penises, and instead have interesting shapes and textures never found in a human body.
The advantage, from what I've seen, to the strap-on is less about what is connected to it and more about the fact that, when positioned at the hips or lower abdomen, it is at the perfect height for hands-free penetration of a kneeling, bent over, or reclining individual. Purely pragmatic.
