When you purchase a toy how much do you care if it is esthetically appealing? My boyfriend makes fun of me for describing toys as pretty but I tell him that it I'm gonna fuck it, it damn well better be pretty.
Is this a major selling point for you?

I only care about appearence in respect to functionality. I won't be looking at it while I use it anyway right?

Whether or not a toy is aesthetically pleasing is secondary to whether or not it works well (form vs function). However, if I had to choose between two toys that are equal in function and quality, then of course I'll take the one that looks good.

I care alot about the toys appearance. I know that sounds bad, but I agree, if I'm going to insert it into me, it better be freaking pretty!

Well, when shopping on a site like this, I tend to see the thumbnail of the toy and only open it if I think its pretty or interesting lol And of course color options are made for people to pick pretty toys

Appearance is second to function, but I do like the pretty ones.

There are some stunning toys like the Pure Wand, and then there's the butt ugly ones... I'd rather get the good and pretty ones.

Looks are definitely important. The way a toy looks can be a turn off or turn on.

I can look at it and imagine how it feels, so it matters.

Looks do play a very minor role--however, the functions, Vrooms and size is more important to me.

Aesthetics are extremely important to me. If I don't like how a toy looks, I don't use want to use it.

I am stupidly susceptible to appearance. The only time I've gotten a toy that I didn't like the look of was when I bought my Hitachi, and I'll add toys to my wishlist even if the main thing I like about them is their appearance.

I bought the eroscillator, looks are not that important to me. Hahaha

If it looks like it will work we might buy it.

I definitely appreciate a nice-looking toy. Not a big fan of, say, pink see-through veiny dildos - they are aesthetically jarring to me. But the fancy, modern art-looking vibrators? Those are awesome.

Then again, it's not like the semi-medical appearance of the Hitachi Magic Wand will keep me from buying it!

I absolutely need to like the way the toy looks if I'm going to invest in it. Also, pulling out a sexy looking toy really helps to get me in the mood.

Looks help make the decision but is not the sole reason..

When we make a decision we look at functionality first and then looks.

I prefer performance over appearance though. Can't please myself with looks only.

The toy has to look good and get really high review scores by reviewers that I trust.

If two toys have roughly the same specifications, I'll pick the prettier one. But other than that, function is way more important to me.

Definitely the prettier of the two. Come on, I'm paying for this thing, I want something that I enjoy looking at.

I like when toys are pretty but most of the time it doesn't bother me

I love pretty colors, but I also go by reviews. I said I would only buy a toy if I liked how it looked because if I find it kind of ugly I probably won't use it! It has to be at least ok to me.

I am attracted to toys that are pretty but I'll only buy it if I think it'll work well.
