Sex toys, and phallic items in general, have always had a knack for fantasy. Ancient Roman fascinus charms depicted whimsical, winged penises intended to bring good luck and protection to their bearers; centuries later, the breakthrough Japanese vibrator of the 1980s, The Rabbit, ensorcelled the public by begging the question, “Why not put some bunny ears on your clit, too?” Today’s global sex toy market is expected to be worth over $80 billion USD by 2030. Unsurprisingly, fantasy dildos and monster-themed sex toys are helping make that number a grower and a show-er. Remember when the fetish of laying alien eggs inside yourself was taking off? We sure do.
As Jen May, VP of Marketing at the sexual wellness site Lovers, explains, “We’ve been receiving requests from our customers and our associates for non-traditional shapes with more unique features.” That’s how the brand’s Creature Cocks dildo collection was brought to life, eager to shower the good people in sexual fantasies that “explore new non-representational options. Not everyone is interested in a phallic shaped toy.” Sometimes, you need to fuck a unicorn horn, or a werewolf foot.
