Adult Tool Kit by Michael Reynolds and Jeff Zimmerman
For the more adventurous, these blown-glass "high-fashion sex toys" incorporate accessories like horsehair tails and a candle holder.

Grandfather Clock by Bastiaan Buijs

For men, Buijs has designed a fleshlight-cum-furniture piece to combat the idea of "a sad lonely man with a blow-up doll". The bright pink torso can be mounted like a vaulting horse, and users are expected to openly display the object in their homes. Find out more about Satyr »
