Price and availability are the words you often hear when people talk about economy and commodity prices. And as much as the economy is boring and unsexy (except for maybe pay pigs and their counterparts), the world of adult entertainment has famously been the No.1 money-pumping machine, right behind oil and a bookstore gone digital gone wild. Sex stuff costs money, and the things you can get for cheap or make at home might be unsafe or unsanitary to use. It’s often worth it to use a dildo that a respected adult company made just to get the highest quality product for some extra cash. But the truth of the matter is, that analog sex toys have been on the market for so long that heir prices look far more appealing than the latest AI tech.
The Prices Are Obvious
We can take a dildo from Walmart, for example (not that it would be remarkable), and we can already see that the prices are on the lower end but still affordable. Not only are there several brands, shapes, colors, and sizes, but you can find everything for both genders, plus accessories that don’t cost a fortune. From what we saw, an Alien Nation dildo was the most expensive at $90.95, while the most popular was California Exotics dildo with a suction cup for $15.49 (and that’s all without huge discounts). In contrast, when looking at the popular AI sex toy brand KIIROO, we see that their popular KEON without accessories is $249, while ONYX+ (another popular choice) is $219. When accounting for accessories and necessary maintenance items, the price soars, and so does the maintenance of the delicate parts.
The Reasons For High Prices
With some insight into how manufacturing is done and all the investments a company needs to make, it’s not too difficult to realize why these AI sex toys are on the huge end. The user base is low, meaning that the product that’s being made is for premium users who want to invest in a new toy. At the same time, the manufacturing is delicate as most machines of today are not made to handle the constructions of motors used in most AI sex toys, while the software devs are the ones who have to run lab tests like in chemistry class to produce an AI suitable for the product, as well as maintain and provide an online feature which is the core difference between a regular toy and an AI choice. Since every product might as well be custom made, it stands to reason the prices are higher.
The Custom Hardware Testing
It's not only AI and software that needs to be built from the ground up. Technology involved with the hardware also needs to be developed from scratch. If the gentlemen who made the first steam engine heard of this, they might faint a little. A machine touching a sensitive body part is a difficult problem to tackle as you don’t want the user to lose their lower limb, but you also need to make it easy to hold, carry, hide, and make quiet. It's this hyperspecific need for technology that pushes the engineering field forward, except, in this case, it's for the purpose of making a good sex toy. It takes years to develop something good and useful, which is made harder as every company has to fend for itself at the beginning to stand out from the competition and be truly unique in what it gives.
Surprising Price Effectiveness
The innovation in hardware and software brings with it some benefits, however. The innovation in motors, materials, and the extensive AI study and development into what makes the person tick means that conventional electric sex toys are not only made better but can often be cheaper. Taking a look back at KIIROO, we will now visit the female section. The ProWand Viartor is an affordable $99, which is on the cheaper end for a premium vibrator that can be fine-tuned with an AI. Going further in, Pearl 3 is the latest and most powerful G-spot stimulator for women with complex AI scripts for maximum pleasure, and it can even be paired up with the long-distance KIIROO toys of your partner. The price for this beauty is only $129, which is simply superb. While using a standard shop-bought toy, AI sex toy companies are within a reasonable purchase range.
Looking At It As A Whole
AI sex toy shops are of premium make with their products, but as we can see, their price range swings two ways. The higher-end prices are comparable to the custom-design and largest-length Bad Dragon dildos like Zephyr the Wind Dragon for $210 (extra large), while the standard silicone stuff from shops goes for maybe $20. But when looking at it as an innovative sex toy upgrade to the existing adult toys, the prices are much lower and within reason for what a good sex toy should be. Of course, KIIROO is a popular choice, and as such, the producers can lower the prices while keeping the quality. As AI sex toys become more common, we can expect to see them becoming a regular occurrence in collections of people who take their sex lives seriously and value high-end products, especially when choosing some of the improved electric toys.
