I think flesh colored toys are just are agreeable as vividly colored toys. I think it really depends our my mood and what is more to more liking. I don't mind flesh colored, but I have a liking for rich colors like dark purple or black.

I prefer off-color toys over flesh if I can help it.

I choose "Other"!

I prefer to have at least one realistic dildo but not so realistic it's intimidating. But the others can be fun colors or styles. It's good to have a variety and I want both me and my partner to like how it looks.

I would probably choose a flesh-colored/realisti c dildo for harness play, so that it would look more like a part of my body. For anything else I prefer fun colors, especially happy blues and purples!

I'm not a fan of any toys which are life like. I would generally just stay away from flesh colored toys, but if there was a toy in an odd shape or something, then I would not be quite so picky about color.

I'm not a fan of flesh colored. If I want to play with something that looks like a real penis, I'll find a real one. It makes me think of comparison, when there isn't one.

I used to be incredibly weirded out by flesh-colored toys, but somewhere along the line they just stopped bothering me. They're definitely not my favorite and I particularly don't like how hard it is to take care of Cyberskin etc., but I'll use them occasionally. That said, I much prefer fun colors!

I definitely prefer Fun colored toys, flesh colored ones of any (skin tone) are quite creepy imo.

its safe to say i definitely prefer flesh toned or skin coloured toys. i get a little weirded out by neon dildos or HOT PINK vibrators. it just seems too unnatural, i'd rather have the real thing. or, i guess, i'd rather not look at it and be like "WOAH wtf neon thing is trying to rape -- oh it's just my bf with the vibe"

I really prefer colored toys, except for the tantus vamp and that's not *human* flesh tone

Definitely colors. They make me smile, they stand out in my toy box, and flesh colored toys ick me a little. I kinda wonder where the rest of their body is...

I am partial to the funky colors for sure. I love the pinks and purples because I am silly like that.

I would not go out of my way to choose flesh over fun but if that is what was available i would certainly take it

I don't care what the color is. My stuff could be pink for all I care. It's not like other people see it.

I don't like flesh-colored toys. I prefer fun colors, especially pink. I want my toy to look like a fun toy, not a strange and ugly looking dick.

Flesh colored freak me out. Cock is cock. Dildos and vibrators should be pretty and bright to me. I don't want fake cock.

Quality materials, size and shape are more important to us than a specific color.

If it is flesh colored then it is more realistic and there is something about a severed penis that creeps me out. I don't want body parts laying about my room.

"Flesh colored" toys don't bother me at all. Our first sex toy was a (gag) SilaGel fleshtone realistic phallic vibrator. Although it wasn't a high quality toy, and it had that weird strawberry and shower curtain smell to it, and it's been retired, (we got better toys and the thing developed a seam separation) it still maintains a place of affection in my heart.

I'm not looking at toys while I'm using them, so the color isn't really important. Although I do like Jet Black toys most of all. Something kinky and kinda sinister about them. Jet Black toys mean business.

As for flesh tones not always representing all colors of the human race, I think it's hard. There are so many variations on skin tone, getting every single color would be prohibitively expensive. So many "skin tone" toys seem to be Caucasian (pretty pale too, as most men don't tan their penises) Caramel, and Chocolate.

I remember when Band-aid tried to make "skin tone band aids" in a lot of different skin tones. They had a whole bunch of different tones, some all in the same package, and some with only one tone per package. Because there were so many varieties and they STILL didn't represent everyone, there were complaints like, "Why don't they have my High Yellow, or my Pale Olive?" Or whatever of the thousands of varieties of colors? They were taken off the market after not selling well.
