I recently stumbled upon a rather shocking piece of sex toy news…
Sculpture in Berkeley, California…
…has ceased operations.
shit.
For those of you who don’t know who they are, these guys are the creators of some pretty amazing soda-lime glass dildos.
Although many people are intimidated by the idea of placing glass products where sunlight doesn’t reach them…
They are one of the few that actually sell quality (Materials, production methods, etc.).
damaged This is probably the first thing people worry about. However, they go out of their way to ensure that their products are harmless to the human body (under normal use) – Test toys were even thrown to the floor to test their structural integrity.
Cool.
In addition, the fact that they Pay great attention to environmental protection Everything, right down to the packaging, is another plus that sets them apart.
Getting one of these is an investment.
It’s also a quirky piece of art that you can make your own (no two pieces are exactly alike) and hang on your mantel, people Didn’t realize you were weird about this at all.
You can’t get them at all no longer!
No unicorn-like swirls of curls, no glitter or marbling, not even a tour of where they’re made. The only place you’re likely to find them is in any commercial sex shop that buys toys for resale.
My opinion is Why Are they closed?
(I actually sent a polite email asking why, but got no reply)
They didn’t say it outright (just said they were “moving on”), but I’m guessing they had the same problems as every other small business – and I’m not talking about the 99% of crap you find on Etsy.
I bet it’s because I can’t huge Sex Toy Market Can Be Mass Produced Hundreds or thousand Number of products per day – regardless of quality – in some far-flung countries its workers may be charged less than minimum wage.
nonsense.
There aren’t enough people willing to support these places to keep them going—the time and money spent by people who care about making stuff that doesn’t give us cancer in our orifices or mutate us into Japanese perverts.

As an artist, I can totally relate to this struggle.
I can relate to when someone tries to buy something at a discount from Amazon and I want to shove my pen in their eyes everything.
However, I could be completely wrong.
Maybe they just want to do something else or move into other fields. Maybe they have personal problems and can’t run their own business. Who knows – everyone is keeping quiet about it.
So, now there is one less player on the field.
One more item missing from my Christmas list.
What was the point of this impromptu eulogy?
I have no idea.
I can say, “Go out and support the little guy.” But honestly, there isn’t a lot left now – and I haven’t even counted the 99% of crap on Etsy that’s made by people who have no idea what they’re doing and just want to make a quick buck.
I guess the only thing I can say is this…
if you have…
Don’t drop it.

If you have more news on why they closed, I’d love to know.
