I'd like to think that most if not all sex toys are adult sex toys.
To be pedantic, it's better to err on the side of redundancy rather than simply saying "sex toys" and have someone wonder why you omitted "adult".
Great now im thinking of littke timmy brand sex toys.
INB4 !Risa organizes a fundraiser to gift @Stamets a giant dildo in appreciation for all the memes.
I'll throw in $5 towards your giant unicorn schlong. Tis the season and all.
Pointy. The medium green is $80 on clearance. I think a Risa fundraiser to get you a Klingon green alien stuffing stocker is something that needs to happen.
I'm in
Set it up. I’ll throw in 5 bucks as well.
Where is this fundraiser?
Where do I find that?
But I bookmarked this so I could contribute! I want a review from Stamets! 😂
I mean you don't have to post it on Risa 😄
Oh! Well if you do end up making a fundraiser count me in. We're gonna get you fucked! :)
OP is the real entertainment of this post
I feel like I learned so much about you today Stamets…
Well now I’m envisioning a giant dildo inching away like an inchworm
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.
So, they're the Lexus of sex toys?
Sexus.
$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.
I agree with you (that they are a luxury purchase), but the point I was trying to get across is that they are worth their cost (in silicone + labor), unlike the items you pointed out which come with famously generous margins.
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.
Curiosity won out and I looked them up. Far tamer than what my imagination was cooking up.
Did you notice that they have a clearance section for those not particular about coloring?
It gets saucier if you log in and turn on Fantasy Mode.
MeatCanyon on YouTube, a horror movie buff and animator, was making vids with a giant bad dragon tentacle just wobbling around on his desk.
Fuckkng hilarious lol
That’s how they wrote it off as tax deduction.
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.
Which model though?
Just setup one of those Amazon wishlists or whatever. U never noe!
Amazon Basics sex toy. That would sell.
I mean, if CVS can do it, why can't amazon?
It would sell and I can almost garuntee it wouldn't be made out of a body safe material.
Oooh, yeah! Kelvin is lovely! Good choice!
Now that you mention it, he's a bit like a longer Fenrir isn't he? My main gripe with Fenrir is that he's not very long.
I don't need/want one, but I do want this cup.
I do think they're neat though.
