Do you consider how pretty a toy is? Even if the price is right, would an ugly toy turn you off? If it is pretty, is in the design or materials?

Yea I would say that the toy has to appeal to me somewhat. But I think that I would by the cheaper ugly version of a toy rather than the really expensive one.

It is all in the toy, functions and capabilities--the appeal is in the look but not as much the beauty.

I care very much about looks in a toy. If it isn't aesthetically pleasing, I won't buy it!

My all-time favorite toy is the Eroscillator, which most people consider hideous, so I guess I'm not that picky

The look isn't a huge deal, but it is a nice bonus if I find the toy attractive.

depends on the material as well as strength. the eroscillator is not pretty but the best toy i have ever purchased.

I look for the higher quality materials and then the style.

the look and price are major factors for me.

If it comes down to looks it's probably not the toy I really want. I love the look of the ufo but it's ability to perform and lack thereof keep me from getting it. But I do consider looks somewhat. I'm planning on getting the eroscillator even though it's ugly as sin because it's so highly rated.

I like the looks of toys, I actually am really into the flesh light freaks line. They aren't pretty but they look cool and I love their textures. ANd I do like the looks of the whipspider toys.

It's all about function. My wife's all time favorite toy is the Eroscillator 2 deluxe with the grapes attachment.

The function is more important to me, but I also look for visually appealing toys.

I'm the same way, I can't bring myself to buy what I consider an ugly toy because I know I wouldn't use it much.

I'm not sure if I would want to buy an ugly toy or not.

Functionality usually comes first and aesthetics, second. First off, I want a toy that works; a pretty toy that doesn't do its job isn't worth it. That said, there are usually enough (roughly) functionally similar toys available that it's possible to find one that works well and looks good.

Note, however, that in some toys, functionality and aesthetics are effectively intertwined. If I'm getting a BDSM toy that's primary purpose is to intimidate, the way it looks is crucial to its effectiveness.
