There is a sex toy that’s the most expensive in the world, and it’s supposed to bring the user absolute luxury.
Gone are the days when you have to either go manual or run to Victoria’s Secret to buy your gadgets, as not you can purchase a whopping $1,800,000 limited edition dildo from an artist.
Throughout history, there has been a lot of weird and wonderful ways that people get off, such as the insane sex chair that King Edward VII had specially made so that he could be pleasured and pleasure multiple people.
Then, there was the raunchy discovery of the 2,000-year-old sex toy, which, according to a study published in February 20 last year by Antiquity, is believed to be the ‘first known example’ of a dildo used by Ancient Romans.

The phallic-shaped wooden object, measuring 16cm, was found next to shoes and accessories, and it certainly looks like a penis, even if it wasn’t intended to be a penetrative tool.
Anyway, we’ve moved past these ancient things, and now you can enjoy the most luxurious dildo and feel like royalty.
The Pearl Royale Sculpture was designed by Colin Burn, who wanted to include the same level of luxury that you have in your home, but for sex toys.
He said on his website: “From my observations it seemed society could not reconcile such luxurious items for the act of sex.”
The Royale sculpture was created ‘to encourage discussion and question society on the value we place on the sexual experience’.
Burn continued: “I was of the mindset if we accept genuine luxury into other aspects of our lives, then why not the sexual experience.
“It had to be outlandishly lavish with a high level of status, so the term fit for a king or queen was foremost in my mind. I wanted to create a unique piece of jewelry art that would hold its own and could proudly sit along side the worlds finest crown jewels.
“Ultimately for me it symbolizes how we should Treasure the Erotic.”
It's designed not to cut you (Colin Burn)
This limited edition piece, which is only one of three made in the entire world, is a ‘pure platinum, diamond, & pearl sculpture ‘ and claims to be ‘the most luxurious vibrator ever created’.
Now, I already know that women who are looking at the layer of diamonds and crossing their legs tight, but don’t worry- apparently, it doesn’t scratch (even though you can’t convince the internet of that, of course).
The website states that it’s ‘crafted from pure platinum its pave’ and channel set with over 70 carats of flawless white diamonds, royal blue sapphires, rare pink diamonds, plus lustrous South Sea pearls’, and they are set flush to the outer later, meaning that nothing is sticking out to harm your insides.
It’s supposed to represent royalty, but I’d never want to find this in Buckingham Palace.
Hilariously, Redditors feel the same, and once they found out about this piece, they had a great time coming up with jokes.
One person said: “I can't imagine using and realising a few diamonds are missing.”
Someone then replied with a hilarious twist on the ‘diamonds in the ruff’ saying as they wrote: “A diamond in the muff.”
Another person made a remark about the British Royal Family, writing: “The Buckingham Phallus at your service of her (or his) Majesty’s request.”
A user then took aim at Burn, commenting: “That's how you know this thing was made by a man.
“It may not have sharp edges, but that thing has got to feel cold when applied to the business area.”
Maybe this is for a specific audience…you know…the type who can actually afford to buy it?
