Dildos are also available in a variety of hard materials, including metal dildos, glass dildos and acrylic/plastic dildos. These dildos tend to be beautiful looking, and are often handmade by artisans rather than mass manufactured in a rubber factory.
Whether the dildo is metal, glass, or acrylic, the benefits of hard dildos include durability (as long as you don’t drop them), safety (because they are not porous they are easy to keep clean), and look. They also provide a different kind of intense stimulation, because they don’t bend when inserted in the body, and as such they are good for g-spot stimulation or pressure stimulation at any internal point.
The drawback to dildos made of hard materials is that they don’t have any give, and some people find them too intense. Also, glass and acrylic toys may break when dropped on hard surfaces.
In general hard dildos like these are not recommended for use in a harness.
You can use water based lubricant or silicone based lubricant on glass, metal, and plastic dildos, although you may find that silicone based lubricant doesn't adhere to the toy and water based is easier to use.
