have you ever purchased a toy just for aesthetics and looks even though you know the shape, size or material isn't ideal. I'm considering glass toys bc they are so beautiful but I'm almost positive I wont use or enjoy such a hard toy
just for aesthetics?

I mostly buy for function but I have at times really wanted something for the look of it - like the Jellyfish. But they do get used too. But if the Jellyfish hadn't been unusual, then I wouldn't have bothered - especially at that price.
Oppps - I did buy one that was more for looks - the Gold Laced G.
It's pretty and it was a bargin for $12.

Don't knock glass til you try it. It is lovely. Yes it is hard and unforgiving but it is SOOO nice.

I don't have the dough to buy toys just for show.

I do have one piece that I bought because it was on a major clearance sale on EF and wasn't sure if I'd really like it. But otherwise, I buy for functionality because being physically satisfied trumps aesthetics for me.

I periodically end up with a show piece because something I *thought* would work doesn't but I don't buy them deliberately.

I don't buy toys just for looks, but if a toy is really ugly that will make it a dealbreaker for me even if it has all the features I want.

I have to disagree - I think if you choose wisely, you'll find that you'll love glass toys. My wife thought I was crazy when I bought the first one - now she can't get enough.
I made some mistakes. At first I assumed that because they are hard I needed to go small and smooth. It turns out that she prefers a mid-size 1.25"-1.5" glass toy with some texture - live and learn!
After you learn to love glass - go for steel - the PureWand is unbeatable.

how it looks isnt really important

I buy primarily for function but I want toys that look sexy as well. I do have some toys that have great visual appeal to me, that I enjoy more so than their function.
Some glass dils are in this class for me....

I've bought toys just for aesthetic, yes. There's a glass dildo snake on EF that I really want just to use as a decoration.

I bought the Tentacle to display with my desktop collection of marine biology inspired non-adult toys, and I've taken chances on a few glass toys just because they were pretty.
If you've never used glass before, it might really surprise you. I say, go for it regardless, you might end up loving it. It's hard, but slick, so it might feel better than a toy of softer materials that's unexpectedly too hard for you.

I have a bunch of toys I bought purely out of brandlove (looking at you, LELO).

knowing me I'll probably end up breaking glass during cleaning or something

I've never really brought a toy just because I thought it was aesthetically pleasing as I want a toy that works for me or at least I hope it will.
I do have a large collection of glass toys though and as others have said don't knock it till you've tried it -)) I also have them on display in the bedroom because they are too darn pretty to have locked up in a toy box.

The glass that the dildos are made of tends to be high quality. I've dropped one of my glass toys on the tile floor and it didn't break. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I only will buy it if it will work for me because otherwise it seems like a waste to me. We don't get to buy toys often, so when we do we have to make them count.

If I could get them cheap or free, I'd get some of the alien or zombie dildos mentioned in other threads. I have no intention of actually using them. I also want the Hello Kitty vibrator just for laughs.

I pad the sink with a washcloth just in case one slips and knocks against the bottom of the sink, but it takes a pretty substantial fall to break Pyrex glass. I've dropped Pyrex baking pans on pavement and had them survive, so while it is technically breakable, it's not exactly fragile.

I generally buy for both aesthetics and pleasure; you get the best of both worlds that way!
01/29/2011
I want both, but I'm a sucker for novelty items. "Oh look it's so pretty"
01/29/2011
I like them to be pretty and something I'd use.

I tend to be rough (I don't throw my toys around but I'm not extremely gentle) - most of my toys aren't glass and I often handle the glass the same way as I do with other materials.
My glass are all good - no chips or anything which I'm surprised at...hehe

I generally purchase toys that are pretty, but functional. One of my friends collects glass dildos, and has them in a display case in her bedroom. She's never even tried to use one, for her it is just a piece of art.

Typically I won't purchase toys unless they look good and like like they would feel good. But sometimes I get shallow.
02/08/2011
I can't say I ever really bought a toy I never intended on using. But they have to look fun for me to want to use them.

Great design and aesthetic appeal is something that I appreciate in all areas of my life so yes, if it doesn't cost the earth and it's something that I will get as much enjoyment from by just looking at it I will certainly buy for looks alone.
