Glass sex toys have been known to perplex some people. After all, isn’t it dangerous to stick glass toys where the sun doesn’t shine? What if it breaks? Isn’t it too hard to have fun with? Hell no! Let me dispel any myths and misgivings you might have about glass sex toys – because you are missing out on the experience of your life with this!

As mentioned in the comprehensive guide to sex toy materials, glass toys are normally made of Pyrex. They might be fairly expensive, but one thing you’ll need to keep in mind. Pyrex glass sex toys are not mass produced. They are hand blown and decorated by very skilled artisans. The crafting process takes quite a while. The toys are also commonly annealed so that they are even stronger than before.

Glass toys are the high end of most sex toys you will see every day. They aren’t as bad as some of the luxury sex toys I’ve seen – but the price is high if you’ve never tried a glass sex toy before. Once you have had a taste of glass though – you’ll wonder how you ever did without.

Before I get all wet from telling you what’s so good about glass toys, let me get some of these stupid myths out of the way. Maybe Mythbusters should do a sex toy edition. Hrm…

Myth #1 – It’s too easy for the glass sex toy to break inside of you.
Answer – Do you do all your sex toy shopping in the bargain bin? Don’t be silly. This isn’t the fragile glass that, say, your prized vases are made out of.
Pyrex, borosilicate, Simax, Kimble – these are the names you’ll see glass sex toys under. The difference between many of them is simply semantics – all of these materials share similar properties. They are durable, temperature tolerant, and unlikely to harm you in any way.

You will need to take a few extra precautions that you normally wouldn’t have to bother with for other toys. First off, make sure that you haven’t decided to make love on a hard surface. While glass sex toys are durable, if you are throwing or dropping the toy there is the possibility of cracks (both visible and invisible) forming. If you endanger the structure of the sex toy then you are opening yourself up to a world of trouble.

No matter how hard you think you clench during orgasm, trust me. You aren’t in any danger at all of crushing the glass. And if you can – I’m not sure that any male would exactly want to put his penis in there.

Other than misuse or carelessness, you don’t have to worry about hurting these toys too much. Clean up is easy too – you can just throw it in the dishwasher or boil the toy to disinfect it.

Myth #2 – It doesn’t feel good
Seeing is believing – or rather feeling. While the material is (obviously) quite hard, there’s a few fun properties of glass that I’ll get to in just one minute. If you’re worried about it hurting you, it’s a sex toy. Remember, you control the speed, depth, and everything else. The glass toys get extremely slippery when they are wet, so just glop on some lube and go to town.

How to Discover the Joys of Glass Sex Toys

So where do you start? Once you get your glass sex toy, go ahead and clean it. You’ll want to remove any potential bacteria that may have settled on the toy during shipment. In general, however, these toys are both hypoallergenic and non porous, making it one of the safest sex toys you can have.

There are many ways you can use your glass sex toy. The first thing you’ll want to do is relax. Don’t be tense, don’t be worried – just relax. You are in complete control of everything you do with the toy. Toy – harmless word. You’re supposed to have fun with them.

Take a look at the beauty of your glass dildo – did the artist do any stylistic or functional designs? Imagine how the bumps and ridges will feel against the walls of your pussy. Now that you have your juices flowing a bit, go ahead and touch yourself with it.

Surprising, isn’t it? The sex toy just slides along you easily. I told you it got slippery when wet! I’ll put up a road sign next time. Play with it a bit more, get used to the feel of it sliding slowly in and out of your pussy.

Notice that it’s a lot warmer than when it started. Glass is wonderful for conducting both heat and cold. If you want any sort of sensation play, use this toy to a great advantage. Just warm or cool the toy down gradually. It will hold that temperature for almost an hour before you will need to readjust it.

Another nice benefit of Pyrex sex toys is that they will last you a lifetime – literally. Just take good care of them and they’ll take very good care of you. Not all glass toys are created equally, though. Make sure that you are using a toy that is high quality glass.

You aren’t just limited to dildos and butt plugs in the glass toy universe – there are anal beads, vibrators, and many other types of sex toys that are constructed out of glass as well. If the toy is not completely glass (hollowed for a vibrator or liquid) make sure that you don’t boil it or put it in the dishwasher. You will also need to be a bit more careful with those types of toys. They aren’t weak by any means – but they aren’t as strong as their solid glass brethren.

Now here’s a big glass sex toy secret – g spot stimulation. These toys are absolutely ideal for stimulation of that crazy little spot. They don’t even have to be specially designed for g-spot stimulation.

In addition to being amazing sex toys, Pyrex sex toys are also amazing pieces of art. You do not want to hide these away if you don’t have to. Instead, start constructing a sex toy showcase – you will sooo be able to pass it off as a modern art exhibit.

Sex Toy Precautions

Fun and games aside, here’s a few words of warning. This isn’t to detract from the pure joy that is the glass sex toy. This is just a quick checklist so you can get the full enjoyment from the toy.

• Don’t throw the toy around hard surfaces.
• If you see cracks, replace the toy.
• Clean your glass sex toy often – it’s easy as hell.
• No rapid temperature changes. This glass can survive extreme temps – but not if they are rapidly introduced into the environment.
• Store your toys after use in a pouch or container.
• Use anal specific toys for anal play. Glass is far too slippery during use if it doesn’t have that customary flared base that anal toys have. I don’t think you want to go to the hospital for that!
• Don’t use glass objects for sex toys! Chances are, it isn’t made of Pyrex quality glass. If you use household glass objects you are just opening yourself up to a world of hurt.
