Do you really need a $500 vibrator? That's the question that Mark Morford asked in a San Francisco Gate article a couple of weeks ago. Before I even read his arguments (for it), I was shouting... yes!The article goes through many of the latest and greatest in luxury sex toys including many that we carry at Babeland including the lovely Lily vibrator (pictured) that charges, has multiple speeds, is easy to use and is water resistant.Why should someone think about buying these toys when the Silver Bullet is available for a mere $12 you ask? Well, besides the fact that you get to feel decadent as you use your silver plated vibrator, buying luxury sex toys is one way of putting your sex life up at the top of your priorities along with your car, your tv and your portable music. If you can afford a plasma screen on which to watch Sex in the City, then spending a little extra on a vibrator that will last is a small price to pay for the amount of enjoyment you'll get out of it. Too often we keep our sex lives on the bottom of our lists in more ways than one: we make less time for them, we talk about them less and we spend less money on them. This is one way of telling ourselves that our pleasure isn't as important to us as that new computer we just can't live without. But it doesn't have to be that way.Luxury sex toys also speak to a desire from customers for well made, well thought out toys and I can't argue against that. Many of these toys were designed by women, for women and that's a fantastic idea.The next time you're looking for a good investment, skip the 60 gigabyte video iPod and put your money where your orgasms are. You'll be glad you did.
