Generally, hard plastic sex toys are preferred by users because almost any sex shop sells them in more affordable terms. However, there are a series of other advantages of hard plastic adult toys that contribute to their popularity amongst users. One such advantage is the manner of transmission of vibrations – in the case of adult vibes made of hard plastic.
Hard plastic is a non-porous material and it does not include health-damaging chemical components, such as phthalates (usually found in adult toys that use combinations of silicone and rubber). In addition, if you have any sort of sensitivity to chemical substances or to latex, for instance, you will be completely safe with hard plastic sex toys, as the material is hypoallergenic.
You are likely to derive the same amount of pleasure from a dildo made of hard plastic (particularly if you like it truly rough), but also from a vibrator made of the same material. Since the material is non-porous, an adult toy made of it will be very easy to clean. Essentially, you can use – the same as in the case of silicone adult toys – water and soap or bleach or alcohol-based cleaning products. You will only have to pay attention to rinsing the toys meticulously after you have put bleach on them, for example.
Hard plastic is durable, but it can break rather easily – therefore, when you store your hard plastic sex toys, make sure that there is no possibility of them falling from their storage area. In addition, make sure you do not let them drop suddenly while you are using them. Fissures in hard plastic toys could be causing pain on your body, as they can make the toy sharp and painful to use.
You can ease penetration with hard plastic sex toys if you add lubricants. The good news is that all sorts of lubricants are good to use with hard plastics – whether they are water based or silicone-based, they will work the wet miracles that you are expecting them to work. Penetration will feel as powerful as you want it to feel, with the right amount of lubricant applied on the toy.
To conform to heath safety rules, it is preferable to put a condom on hard plastic adult toys while you are using them, even if you are using them alone or together with a partner. We reinforce this piece of advice particularly if you are using a vibrator or a dildo, both for anal and for vaginal penetration.
A condom on the toy will prevent the transmission of potentially unsafe and, therefore, harmful microorganisms. Indeed, you may wash a hard plastic adult toy, but this does not mean you have also completely disinfected it. The issue grows even more complicated because you cannot boil hard plastic, as it is damaged at the boiling temperature of water. However, you can prevent any disease by taking care of it during the sex act.

Secret Lover/Friend
By: MiamiTemp | 08-07-2008
I'm a 25 y/o female from Miami. I've been involved with a man romantically for a year and a half but nobody knows about our relationship. I can't go into detail about why we have to keep this a secret. He's not married or anything but if people found out then it could hurt his career, etc. I had known for a few years before we started anything sexual but had fallen for him way before that. When the opportunity presented itself I took it and things have been very hot with him since then. However, he has no idea how much I care about him. We were always friends, so I know he gets that much but I'm scared that if he found out that I was in love with him our relationship would change. It kills me not to be able to tell this guy that he's everything to me. I've had my share of relationships, whether it has been boyfriends, friends with benefits or whatever but this is completely throwing me off track in my life. I know he recently started seeing another woman, but the terms of our current relationship are strictly "friends with benefits" so I can't really say anything. The other woman has no idea that me and him have the type of sexual relationship that we do. She thinks we are just friends. I love having this secret, but at times it gets difficult. I get sad at times when I think that he is waking up next to her and not me. He'll swing by my house, we'll hook up and then he'll go over to her house for a movie. It sucks and I'm not quite sure how to handle it. I don't want it to end, I want him to know how I feel but I can't bring myself to tell him. Anyone got any words of wisdom?
