I have no idea what this is and I am torn between my curiosity and the preservation of my innocence.

    Over $100 is pretty normal for a high quality silicone toy. BD toys are often somewhat large and have many options such as firmness and color available upon request. They could probably get away with selling their $200 products for closer to $150 and still make a profit, but they've established themselves as the top dog (pun somewhat intended) of a very niche market and can get away with charging a premium.

    And I think the vast majority of folks who purchase from them have every intention of using their products way more than once.

    $200 isn't bad for something bespoke and handmade. A good dildo of similar quality that's mass produced is $50, not to mention that Bad Dragon usually has unique coloring and can be made huge.

    A maxed out macbook costs about 17 times more than that toy, and a premium car is no less than 150 times the cost. You are way, way off on your comparisons.

    That being said, these dildos ARE luxury items. These are custom made to order dildos and get freakishly big, they are NOT your average sex toy, and the price reflects that. People aren't paying $200 for just any dildo, they're paying $200 for a Bad Dragon dildo.

    They're a bit up there in terms of pricing, but they're good quality. Last I checked them out, Masterwork Toys on Etsy had better prices, but quality is comparable. Aesthetically I much prefer the one I have from them, it's just a bit large. They've since introduced sizing options though!

    If you're in the EU you'll also face import costs though. A $300 order from Bad Dragon can easily become a $500 with import fees. Speaking from experience.

    Even if you can't afford it you probably can't get the one you want anyways cuz they don't sell them directly anymore...

    You have to wait for a drop and then you only get whatever they have in stock. It's been going on since covid and it kind of sucks.
