In a move that’s sure to turn heads, Gwyneth Paltrow has taken her lifestyle brand, GOOP, into uncharted territory with a line of astonishingly expensive sex toys. Known for her penchant for the extravagant—think $956 toilet paper and $4,000 juicers—Gwyneth recently introduced a $15,000 solid gold dildo that’s making waves. The pitch? “For women who demand the ultimate in luxurious indulgence,” this exclusive massager is marketed as the pinnacle of luxury. After all, why settle for a basic plastic vibrator when you can indulge in the opulence of gold?
Of course, not everyone can—or should—drop $15,000 on a sex toy. For those who prefer a more reasonable investment while still wanting to keep things interesting, there’s the Duet 8GB Lux. This unique gadget not only vibrates but also functions as a flash drive, allowing you to store files on it—because nothing screams “romance” quite like a vibrating USB stick! Priced at $219, it’s a quirky alternative that might just pique your interest.
If neither of those options is your cup of tea, how about a $400 necklace that doubles as a vibrator and nipple clamps? Yes, it seems the line between fashion and function has blurred, with GOOP pushing the boundaries of what we consider a “toy.”
Insights from GOOP’s Sex Issue
For those on a budget—or who prefer to invest their money elsewhere—GOOP’s Sex Issue offers some intriguing insights. They’ve consulted a naturopathic expert to provide advice on safer lube options and the potential toxins found in conventional products. Dr. Lila Reyes, N.D., emphasizes that if a lubricant is safe to eat, it’s typically safe to apply. Among her recommendations are organic coconut oil and aloe vera gel—natural alternatives that are free from preservatives.
Safe Sex Practices
As the conversation continues around safe sex practices, the topic of condoms inevitably comes up. While they are deemed necessary for protection against STIs and unwanted pregnancies, Dr. Reyes cautions about the chemicals in many brands. Ideally, look for options that are vegan, paraben-free, and free from various additives. You might even find some of these at a local pharmacy.
