On Loving Glass
By Wildchyld • Jul 21st, 2006 • Category: BlogOk I admit it! I am a glass aficionado. I just can’t get enough of these beautiful artistic beauties. In my collection right now are 4 gorgeous toys all of which could easily be displayed on my mantle. I personally love keeping them in beautiful velvet toy bags so that when I pull them out for play time I can feel both the smoothness of the glass and the texture of velvet at the same time. Sometimes I imagine that I’m pulling them out of a glorious silky vulva that exists just to house their beauty.
I’ve met many people who are frightened by the idea of glass toys.

Often they have skewed pictures of broken shards coming way too close to their private parts. In reality, glass toys are extremely strong and near impossible to shatter. Quality glass dildos, like the ones we feature here at Good Vibes are made of medical grade Pyrex glass. This is the same kind of glass that they used to make those fancy glass shatterproof measuring cups and cook wear. My first glass dong was thrown down two flights of stairs by an angry X lover (it’s a long story) and survived 100% in tact despite landing on concrete. Now I wouldn’t recommend throwing your expensive functional art toys across the room, but they certainly can survive just about any sex act you can think up (that is unless your sex acts include glass cutters and hammers…and if they do I wanna hear that story!)
Another misconception is that they’re too hard to be pleasurable. The stiffness of a glass cock can be a lot of fun. It just requires that you start slowly, make sure you at a good angle and don’t thrust harder then is pleasurable (things you should probably be doing anyway if you are a good lover!) . The weight of glass dildos can add an additional dimension of pleasure that less hefty toys are unable to provide. The next time you’re in one of our stores, take one of our glass products and slide it gently against your palm. That same weightiness that you feel against your hand can feel wonderful when deep inside.
Glass toys also start out cool but warm to the body’s temperature more quickly than other products will. I enjoy the cool entry, but if you don’t just put it between your thighs for a few moments and warm it up.
The smooth surface works extremely well with lube. A little bit will go a long way and because the surface is so slick, it can have an amazing feeling. It is also easy to clean and can be sterilized. For those that have allergies or sensitivities to some plastics or latex, glass is also an amazing alternative. I have yet to meet someone who is allergic to medical grade glass!
If you’ve got a little extra dough to spend or are looking for a fabulous gift I recommend giving glass a try. It’s functional art that can last a lifetime. Hmmm I wonder if someday we’ll be leaving relatives pyrex toys in our wills! I can just see it now “and to my beloved daughter, here is a piece of art that kept me cumming for years”

Hi people
I do not know what to give for Christmas of the to friends, advise something ….
Glass dildos are certainly the most beautiful sex toys. I also like that they’re hypoalergenic and they can be sterilized. They also feel great.
