Sex Toys are quite expensive for what they are. (NSFW)

For rubber poured and set in a mould, they really are quite expensive.
Obviously ones requiring more (battery powered, specially designed etc) are more expensive.

I feel due to the hidden nature of such purchases the prices are artificially inflated.

    Price and cost are not very often much related.
  • AHRAHR
    Naturally. After all, you can't just drive by Walmart and get some dildos, now can you?

    No especially as I like in the UK.

    I mean that a lot of the toys that are just simple silicon sculpted dildos are (various retailers) around £50-60 or in american $80-96 ish.

    Edit:
    The prices I'm taking are from Ann Summers, which is the chain that most recognised in the Uk for sex toys or anything sexual.

    DealExtreme has a good, cheap selection, as long as you don't mind waiting 2-3 weeks.

    V I once made an IJBM about that. In some cases it's so obvious what they actually are that it looks like DX is using a word filter.

    So it does.
    Although the product naming is a little obtuse.

    'Simulation Body Massager with Vibration Strength Control'
    Clearly means vibrator, why try to dress up the name?

    Edit:
    It literally doesn't call them dildos or virbrators in item description, it keeps calling them massagers or simulators. That JBM.

    To make them sound more respectable.

    Technically, all prices are artificially inflated. That's how business make money.

    But they are under the headings of Dildo or Anal Toys.

    They've said Dildo, they have a picture of a glass dildo, calling it a 'High Borosilicate Glass Simulation Body Massager' is stupid.

    ^
    Inflated more due to the fact their products are in the public glare as so less comparison, due to social factors.

    The question is how you define "artificially" the busness has totake care of severalissues. employee wages, resources, marketing, et cetera andthey still have tobe ableot  profit fromit. Otherwise there's no point.

    Well at least one of the companies I'm referring to is online only that should cut down on a lot of overheads, yet their products are only slightly shy of those offered by the no.1 brand (Ann Summers) in the UK, despite Ann Summers having shops where it has to employ pay rent etc etc.

    Dildos should be used to stretch stuff out for fisting, not the other way around.

    I've never sticking my dick in those things.

    I mean, I haven't wanted to for years, but now I'm damn sure my dick is getting NO WHERE near those things.
  • DYREDYRE
    Because they're stretchy?

    Chagen doesn't like stretchy things?

    DYRE: No, it's just....the more i hear about vagina, the more they horrify me.

    Also, when I actually see them (in porn), they are quite possibly the most horrifying things I have ever seen. Not shitting you. I'm fucking scarred for life after seeing one of those things. They....oh god they look disgusting
  • BradamanteBradamante
    I'm not all that attracted to genitalia. But especially not vaginas.

    Also, this bugs me, too. I can't get a good vibrator on my salary and my allowance.

    The obvious solution to artificially high sex toy prices is for adult stores to go the Gamestop route and take control of the used market.
