Toys in Love

Look, I’m a dude… no seriously; I have a dick and everything! – So why is it I find a little glass thingy that blings so bloody fantastic? – Oh God; I can already feel this becoming an “all bow down” and long review…

VirtuallyAdult is to blame. – If it weren’t for them I wouldn’t be sitting here with my manliness in jeopardy…

Being awesome as they are, VirtuallyAdult sent us a Crystal Delights plug to review. – And what a plug it is! The artistry of RubyGlass21 and the bling of a precisely-cut Swarovski crystal merges in one of the best looking glass plugs on the market. – I doubt very much anyone can disagree. – And it’s not that I haven’t seen amazing plugs from other glass manufacturers like Simply Blown, Xhale and others before. – But the long slender neck and the Swarovski crystal simply make the Crystal Delights plug a rare thing of beauty.

But look is one thing, right? – I mean, the thing could look like a back of gold and still be worthless as a broken penny… But it’s not, and I’ll tell you why.

There’s a thing you need to know about adult glass toys. Well, besides the fact that if they are not made of anything close to borosilicate annealed glass, I wouldn’t let it anywhere near my ass. – I said ‘close to’, there are a few other types and ways to make sure glass is strong, sturdy and splinter-proof incase they should break. But trust me, a cheap tempered glass toy out of China might be okay for ’soft’ vaginal or sensory play, – but a sphincter is one of the strongest muscle groups in the human body. – Get my drift?

Eugene, Oregon is where you’ll find a completely woman-owned and operated company making my new amazing glass toy. Medical grade borosilicate glass is what Cynthia Propeck uses at RubyGlass21 to make these plugs exclusively for VirtuallyAdult. The glass they use is non-toxic and phthalate-free of course, and will hold its structural integrity in extreme temperatures and basic abuse. Each piece is hand blown with an individual artistic flare, and they do it with a green hand no less. – Seriously; they use natural gas instead of profane because it’s a cleaner source of fuel, liquid oxygen instead of a processed oxygen because it burns cleaner. And instead of wood they use carbon tools to save the trees and I could go on… But enough of RubyGlass21, just know that care and attention has been poured into making this toy as safe as humanly possible!

Opening the discreet package from VirtuallAdult and you’ll find a very nice velvety pouch that’s soft to the touch on the outside, and sort’a leathery on the inside. It ‘looks’ like leather, but I can’t be sure… don’t think it is. – Smells good though. The pouch closes easily with two elastic straps and the whole thing is a great storage for the plug. – Wish I had ten of them… Cocooned inside this thick padded pouch is the treasure itself, along with a couple of ultra thin LifeStyles condoms, a Boy Butter water-based lube sample and an authenticity slip – attached to this is a couple of small glass things perfect for a necklace or bracelet… – A small heart and a little tiny leaf… pretty. All in all quite terrific.

Now know that glass is a wonderful material for sex toys. – From sensory play to insertion, glass just feels amazing. Hardly any lube is necessary, but a little goes a long way. – It’ll make the toy slick and easy to insert. – The size of this plug helps of course, with its 1½” diameter elongated head and ½” neck, it’s a plug for everyone. – Even new beginners in anal play and stimulation will find this plug a godsend. For advanced players and plug connoisseurs, I recommend this one as a good starter and especially excellent if you just like that feeling of something inserted while taking care of your partner.

The plug we got is the Aurora Borealis, and it looks like a big precision-cut diamond bursting in every which color, depending on angle and lighting. – Just stunning. It’s a long stem version sporting a total length of 5”ish. – Being hand crafted makes everything approx. inches, but also makes each and everyone unique.

Some of the things that fascinate me about glass toys are their ability to retain heat or coolness easily, not forgetting their weight, their cleanliness and easy care, their high quality, and naturally, their beauty. And in that regard the Crystal Delight is flawless. If you hold it up to the light there isn’t a scratch/bubble/flaw, (I could write cow/volvo/imac, but that would just be weird), – anything at all to mar the beauty and perfection of it’s internal or surface area.

I texted my OH, that I had a surprise for her ass. – She came home early…

My OH has a great ass… No; I’m not sending you pictures! But she does, and with the plug safe and snug inside it, – showing only the finely-cut crystal with a thin glass rim… Lord have mercy…

We both had heaps of fun with this one. My OH is on the petite side and definitely felt it more than me. For me it’s just the right size. – I like having a little something inside me during sex. And the long stem on this one makes it perfect to reach the prostate. – I really can’t stress enough how much I think this plug does everything right.

We both find this plug amazing. We often find toys we both like ‘okay’, ‘good’, ‘great’ yadiyadi… But when we both find something amazing… Well, it’s not often…

Cleaning the toy is a cinch; some antibacterial soap and warm water and finish of with a good sex toy cleaner. – Or if you want to sterilize it, you can use some isopropyl alcohol and some water. Wipe it down afterwards with a clean cloth and your crystal will sparkle as good as new.

VirtuallyAdult has a whole slew of Crystal Delights. – Short necks, long necks, a host of colors – even an incredible looking Dichroic version. – Want!! Sigh… – See; there goes my manliness again, seriously not cool!

VirtuallyAdult; thank you so much, for making my OH’s ass shine!
