With the second half of Stranger Things Season Four set to drop on July 1st, social media is abuzz with viewers thirsty to know how the season ends. But you know what else they’re thirsty for? Demogorgon dick, apparently.
The Demogorgon, as you might know, is a mythical creature that terrorizes the show’s main characters. It’s tall, humanoid and harrowing — sort of like a mix between the Slender Man, Gollum and the grotesque aliens from the A Quiet Place films — and is frankly one of the stranger things ever encountered on Stranger Things. But evidently people are horny for it nonetheless, because sex-toy company Bad Dragon makes a Demogorgon dildo that’s garnered tons of attention on Twitter and Reddit.
Bad Dragon is best known for fantasy dildos meant to replicate the dicks of dogs, demons, dragons and other monsters, so it makes sense that they’d capitalize on the furor around Stranger Things by sexualizing one of its main villains. “The Demogorgon is a marvel of handmade design, boasting pleasant textures, a gentle yet pronounced curve well crafted for amazing G-spot stimulation and a delightfully horrifying base that ensures a white knuckle grip,” the product description says.
Like many Bad Dragon dildos, this one widens slightly in the middle, similar to the “knot” that dogs and coyotes have on their actual dicks. Usually the knot swells during mating, to keep the two animals affixed together as they do the deed. While it might not sound sexy to watch Fido go at it, evidently a lot of humans find the idea of “knotting” hot, because it’s long appeared in fanfiction (Google the term “omegaverse” if you dare), erotica and — yes — dildos.
Interestingly, the design of this dildo is a creative extrapolation from the show, since — being a popular, mainstream work that stars a bunch of kids — Stranger Things is unlikely to show full-frontal monster cock anytime soon. There are hints in-canon that despite being vaguely human-shaped, the Demogorgon doesn’t reproduce like any human I know of: It’s been shown to deposit its eggs or larvae in a host using some kind of tentacle. But hey, your sexual fantasies don’t have to be canonical, as evidenced by the non-zero number of fanfiction stories in which a Demogorgon fucks a human.
This dildo isn’t the only erotic ode to the Demogorgon that a sex toy company has attempted, either. Fleshlight recently tweeted a teaser image of a Demogorgon-inspired stroker, though it’s unclear if they plan on actually releasing this monstrosity. Some users in the replies christened it the “Demagussy,” while others just posted horrified reaction GIFs.
As for the Demogorgon dildo, it’s got its fair share of fans on Twitter too, with some users writing eager tweets like “Who trynna buy this for me?” and “On my way to suck that dildo.” But no dick is universally beloved, not even the Demogorgon’s. Some of the more critical tweets about it include “I miss 10 seconds ago when I hadn’t seen this,” “This is the farthest anyone has strayed from God” and “Y’all out here fuckin Alien Dicks now ???????? just say you’re done wit us lmfaoo.”
Is this dildo really good enough that users might abandon human cock in favor of Demo-dick, though? One reviewer got the small size — the dildo is available in five different sizes, ranging from mini to extra-large — and loved it. “It gave a nice stretch and sensation of fullness,” they wrote. “When my partner used it on me, it was even better because I was able to lie back and feel all the feelings.” The reviewer noted, however, that they might’ve preferred the toy if it was firmer: Bad Dragon offers the Demogorgon in soft, medium or firm silicone, and it seems that the medium firmness had too much squish to really offer that authentic “getting ravaged by a mythological demon” feeling.
If the fantasy of getting fucked by a Demogorgon is mystifying to you, don’t worry; monster sex isn’t everyone’s cup of tea (or blood, or slime). My theory is that the desire to be railed by a beast is related to what kinksters call “fear play,” or the eroticization of terror. When you vividly visualize being chased down by a Demogorgon, for example, you might notice your heartbeat picking up speed and your adrenaline spiking, in similar ways to how you react to intense sexual arousal. When this imagined attack is just a fantasy in your head (and a dildo in your hand), though, you’re in complete control of the situation — so you can explore only the parts that turn you on, and omit the more horrendous aspects of a Demogorgon encounter, like the way it seems to feed on its own eggs (WTF?) and is so sensitive to blood that it can smell it from another dimension. (Side note: Does that mean the Demogorgon would be into period sex, or nah?)
Whether or not it’s your thing, it’s clear from the sheer number of horny people riding Demogorgon dick on Reddit that this dildo has hit the spot for some Stranger Things fans. You know the D is good when you’re willing to trek to the Upside Down just to get laid (or flayed), am I right?
