What are they, who makes them, and who are they even making them for?

Take a look at JimmyJane, Mi-Su, Lelo, and Myla - not the normal sex toy stores, are they? These high class designs (along with high class prices) is a representation of the luxury designer sex toys. Forget the gold plated toilet - if I hit the lottery, I want a platinum vibrator asap.

Designer sex toys are targeted to the chic smut - those high class consumers who wouldn't dare set foot in a sex toy store...or would they? You can't toss a cat without hitting someone who has bought at least one sex toy, so chances are this market isn't as elusive and untapped as excited distributors may think.

Since price is commonly considered directly with the quality of a product, this market segment would turn their noses up at any type of discount or budget priced toys. Nope, give them the works - unique designs, eclectic materials, and discrete is the name of the game here. This isn't to say that these toys are the same old thing with jacked up prices - quite the contrary from most of what I've seen.

These sex toys really do deserve to be put into their own class of awe inspiring - from precious metals to loving design, designers have really gone all out. Designer sex toys include new twists on the trusty vibrator as well as completely new designs, a few of which I'll go over here:

Rose Quartz Butt Plug - Wow is about all that comes to mind with this. Extremely elegant design and great use of this semiprecious stone. It's only topped by the same company's...

Titanium Dildo Set with Gemstone Inlay- The most extravagant of extravagance. High quality, expensive materials, design made with the natural contours of our most precious part in mind.

Designer Vibrating Massager - Delicate design and quiet operation make this a popular type of design. You don't immediately think sex toy when looking at it, now do you? The pebble also falls under this distinction.

C-shell (by the seashore?) - This is an extremely innovative design. There are multiple areas of simultaneous stimulation here, and just looking at the pictures I can imagine many fun uses.

Bone - A variable speed vibrator by design, an adventure by function. This hardly looks like a sex toy - more along the lines of a sculpture, I would say. While many of the toys are made of either metal or hard plastics, the bone is cast in resin.

Pvibe - This vibrating cock ring is cast in 24 caret gold with the added bonus of a jewelry suggestion. Not that I would wear a sex toy around after use but hey, at least they're creative with it

If even these pricy toys aren't cultured enough for you, there's Mi-Su Couture (warning: bloated flash site). Yup, that's right, Mi-Su lets you design your own luxury sex toy. Nope, I don't even want to begin to think about the cost of that.

So there you have it, sex toys for the rich and famous. Me? I'm cuddling up to my rabbit until I hit the lottery.
