No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Let be honest, prices is kinda insane there. Imagine someone, who deliberately would tell "oh, $200 for a silicon toy that I will not use more then one time or even probably never, that I wanna buy just for pure esthetic purpose. What a steal!".
Use one time? Please. I want to ride that thing so much it develops sentience just to escape from me. If I had the money I'd buy it in a fucking heartbeat and have zero regrets. Alas I have already purchased my Christmas gifts for me and even if I saved all that money it wouldn't add up to one of those dildos. I am what is known as extremely fucking poor.
INB4 !Risa organizes a fundraiser to gift @Stamets a giant dildo in appreciation for all the memes.
I mean... I wouldn't say no.
I'll throw in $5 towards your giant unicorn schlong. Tis the season and all.
It's an ice dragon actually, thank you very much!
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.
Set it up. I’ll throw in 5 bucks as well.
I'll match that.
I contacted the company and, sadly, they no longer sell gift certificates.
Where is this fundraiser?
Direct in my paypal baby.
Where do I find that?
At the corner of IWas and Kidding
But I bookmarked this so I could contribute! I want a review from Stamets! 😂
Oh god... can you fucking imagine? "Why is the meme man talking about dildos? I'm scared"
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! :)
Ah if only. Alas I am bad with gifts and a mess anyway lol
Well, if you change your mind we're here for ya!
Appreciate you <3
OP is the real entertainment of this post
I feel like I learned so much about you today Stamets…
All goes downhill from here
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.
