The days of manual operation or visiting Victoria’s Secret for your gadgets are behind us, as now you can invest in an exclusive $1,800,000 limited edition dildo created by an artist.
Throughout history, people have explored many peculiar and delightful methods of pleasure, such as the extravagant sex chair commissioned by King Edward VII for his personal enjoyment and the enjoyment of multiple partners.
An intriguing artifact is the 2,000-year-old sex toy, reportedly the ‘first known example’ of a dildo from Ancient Roman times, according to a study published in February last year by Antiquity.
The 16cm phallic-shaped wooden object was found amidst shoes and accessories and resembles a penis, even if it wasn’t originally designed for penetration.
Moving beyond these ancient innovations, modern users can now indulge in the epitome of luxury with the most opulent dildo, evoking a sense of royalty.
The Pearl Royale Sculpture, crafted by Colin Burn, aims to integrate the same level of luxury found in your home into the realm of sex toys.
On his website, Burn remarked: “From my observations it seemed society could not reconcile such luxurious items for the act of sex.”
The Royale sculpture was designed ‘to encourage discussion and question society on the value we place on the sexual experience’.
Burn elaborated: “I was of the mindset if we accept genuine luxury into other aspects of our lives, then why not the sexual experience.
“It had to be outlandishly lavish with a high level of status, so the term fit for a king or queen was foremost in my mind. I wanted to create a unique piece of jewelry art that would hold its own and could proudly sit alongside the world’s finest crown jewels.
“Ultimately for me it symbolizes how we should Treasure the Erotic.”
This exclusive piece, one of only three worldwide, is a ‘pure platinum, diamond, & pearl sculpture’ touted as ‘the most luxurious vibrator ever created’.
While women may eye the diamond-covered piece with concern, rest assured—it’s designed not to scratch (despite internet skepticism).
The website describes it as ‘crafted from pure platinum with its pave’ and channel set with over 70 carats of flawless white diamonds, royal blue sapphires, rare pink diamonds, plus lustrous South Sea pearls’, all set smoothly for safety.
Though it symbolizes royalty, one might not expect to find it in Buckingham Palace.
Redditors have humorously reacted to this creation, crafting jokes upon learning of its existence.
One remarked humorously: “I can’t imagine using and realising a few diamonds are missing.”
Another quipped with a play on words: “A diamond in the muff.”
One Redditor even made a jest about the British Royal Family: “The Buckingham Phallus at your service of her (or his) Majesty’s request.”
A user humorously critiqued the design, stating: “That’s how you know this thing was made by a man.
“It may not have sharp edges, but that thing has got to feel cold when applied to the business area.”
Perhaps this is targeted at a specific audience—the ones who can actually afford such luxury?
