I used to think that too, but my very favorite dildo is made of glass. I don't know how to explain why, but it's actually much nicer and more comfortable than any type of plastic. It's a large and anatomically correct, hand-crafted work of art, so maybe that's a part of it -that it's not a mass-produced in China plastic dong. Just something to think about. Obv you know best what's right for you.
