This song isn't about what you think it is (OK, we'll say it - a sex toy). It was written by Marty Balin as an ode to his new stereo system, which was a novelty item at the time.
This was released as the B-side of "Somebody To Love," which was a US Top 5 single.
An early song by The Police, "Be My Girl - Sally," makes reference to, shall we say, a more literal variety of "plastic fantastic lover."
