      Bad dragon sells adult sex toys of a wide variety, most common being dildos. Dildos that are modeled off of dragons or other fantasy-esque creatures.

      I kinda want one.

      Who am I kidding. Not even kinda. I absolutely want one. A specific model and everything. I just cannot remotely afford it and likely never will…

        adult sex toys

        I’d like to think that most if not all sex toys are adult sex toys.

        I just cannot remotely afford it

        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.

          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.

            Let be honest, not everyone lives in USA\Canada. From where I’m from, average salary about ~500 euro and a good toy costs a lot less. So, paying 180 from your month income just for dildo is kinda too much for average person in Balkans part of Europe, Russia (well, delivering not working for them anyway, cause they cosplaying nazi Germany), most of Asia (except China, Japan and some other countries) and maybe Africa, but we not talking about them there. Not to mention, that just what I remember (too lazy to google average salary for every part of world) and I have one friend from USA, that also struggles to get decent income to afford at least food, so yea, even statistics can be controversial on those. Don’t know how situation in Australia tho, but those guys have spiders, they don’t need dragon toys. My point is, that $200 for a toy is too much. That a luxury item at this point, like a premium car or maxed out macbook. That a bit weird, but it is what it is I guess.

              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?

        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.

                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.

        Both; I have two ligers (lion+tiger hybrid; discontinued, don’t recall his name), and a werewolf (David). Some are staples like the original Duke (the “bad dragon”) or Chance (horse). Others come and go. There are also several competitors which I haven’t been a customer of myself (Primal Hardware is a big one). My master has toys from both BD and PH, and seems to like the toys from both.

    My wife has a BD sticker on her water bottle. We joke about it, either you know what it is and are likely having a laugh or just assume it’s a normal brand you just don’t know.

    If you own a BD product, you’re likely at least semi okay with sex. It’s good fun stuff :)

      Oh there are so many of these! Nothosaur is a Japanese company. They have a lot of interesting models that are a bit more out there than what you’d see at BD.

      Weredog is UK based, and very similar to Bad Dragon. I think they’ve had some sort of cooperation in the past? Unsure.

      Since I’m Swedish I also have to mention Twilight Meadow, based in Sweden. They have some Nordic Folklore inspired ones. They’ve a few new models, and I think they’ve updated an old one. Very tempting. 👀

        Well, those were a series of interesting rabbit holes (no pun intended)

        Also, it reminds me of those anthropological finds of various phalluses that are described as ‘ritualistic objects’ in dry academic texts…nope, they were totally dildos.

        Who knows in several thousands of years they’ll be digging up Bad Dragon dildos and holes and describing them as ‘ceremonial objects’
