steel? glass? uhhhh...
i don't know much (anything) about sex toys, but there's gotta' be some softer, safe ones, right?

oh no, glass is the best! it's super smooth, easy to keep clean/sterilize, safe to use with any lube...and if you run it under hot or cold water it is very exciting! solid glass is very strong, it's not going to break while you are using it. you just need to be careful not to drop it or chip it.

I love my glass toy!

(and while you can get smooth ones, you can also get bumpy ones too)

I guess it doesn't work if you like the soft things like jellies, but those are so freaky with lubes, I've never liked them.

Up until a point in that video it seemed like it was a conservative view and they were saying "give up your sex toys, because it's keeping you from "real" love".

Good video. They have pretty good voices.

Demolition-

I don't believe in smoking but I'm not going to knock the convenience store for selling cigarettes. I'm sure you can name a few small boutiques who refuse to sell any pthlalate-containing products but at this point in time it would be difficult for most large sex toy retailers to do so and stay in business.
It's a matter of necessity. Babeland sells "toxic toys" like many other sex toy retailers because these products are affordable. By comparison, silicone and pyrex toys are priced out of reach for many shoppers on a tight budget.
