There is a sex toy that’s the most expensive in the world, and it’s supposed to bring the user absolute luxury.

Gone are the days when you have to either go manual or run to Victoria’s Secret to buy your gadgets, as not you can purchase a whopping $1,800,000 limited edition dildo from an artist.

Throughout history, there has been a lot of weird and wonderful ways that people get off, such as the insane sex chair that King Edward VII had specially made so that he could be pleasured and pleasure multiple people.

Then, there was the raunchy discovery of the 2,000-year-old sex toy, which, according to a study published in February 20 last year by Antiquity, is believed to be the ‘first known example’ of a dildo used by Ancient Romans.

The phallic-shaped wooden object, measuring 16cm, was found next to shoes and accessories, and it certainly looks like a penis, even if it wasn’t intended to be a penetrative tool.

Anyway, we’ve moved past these ancient things, and now you can enjoy the most luxurious dildo and feel like royalty.

The Pearl Royale Sculpture was designed by Colin Burn, who wanted to include the same level of luxury that you have in your home, but for sex toys.

He said on his website: “From my observations it seemed society could not reconcile such luxurious items for the act of sex.”

The Royale sculpture was created ‘to encourage discussion and question society on the value we place on the sexual experience’.

Burn continued: “I was of the mindset if we accept genuine luxury into other aspects of our lives, then why not the sexual experience.

“It had to be outlandishly lavish with a high level of status, so the term fit for a king or queen was foremost in my mind. I wanted to create a unique piece of jewelry art that would hold its own and could proudly sit along side the worlds finest crown jewels.

“Ultimately for me it symbolizes how we should Treasure the Erotic.”

This limited edition piece, which is only one of three made in the entire world, is a ‘pure platinum, diamond, & pearl sculpture ‘ and claims to be ‘the most luxurious vibrator ever created’.

Now, I already know that women who are looking at the layer of diamonds and crossing their legs tight, but don’t worry- apparently, it doesn’t scratch (even though you can’t convince the internet of that, of course).

The website states that it’s ‘crafted from pure platinum its pave’ and channel set with over 70 carats of flawless white diamonds, royal blue sapphires, rare pink diamonds, plus lustrous South Sea pearls’, and they are set flush to the outer later, meaning that nothing is sticking out to harm your insides.

It’s supposed to represent royalty, but I’d never want to find this in Buckingham Palace.

Hilariously, Redditors feel the same, and once they found out about this piece, they had a great time coming up with jokes.

One person said: “I can’t imagine using and realising a few diamonds are missing.”

Someone then replied with a hilarious twist on the ‘diamonds in the ruff’ saying as they wrote: “A diamond in the muff.”

Another person made a remark about the British Royal Family, writing: “The Buckingham Phallus at your service of her (or his) Majesty’s request.”

A user then took aim at Burn, commenting: “That’s how you know this thing was made by a man.

“It may not have sharp edges, but that thing has got to feel cold when applied to the business area.”

Maybe this is for a specific audience…you know…the type who can actually afford to buy it?

Babygirl hasn’t even been released on this side of the pond yet, but most Brits are already well aware of the exhaustion she felt from repeatedly feigning pleasure.

Fans in the UK have to wait a little bit longer to find out what all the fuss is about when it hits cinemas here on 10 January, but our US counterparts have already seen it.

The reviews are already rolling in, with people praising Kidman’s performance alongside Harris Dickinson, 28.

The pair have taken on the leading roles in Halina Reijn’s new flick, which delves into the murky waters of power dynamics and sexuality within a professional setting. Kidman stars as high-powered CEO Remy, who begins an affair with her much younger intern Samuel (Dickinson) and they act out some pretty kinky stuff.

Her husband Jacob (Antonio Banderas) hadn’t been pleasing her between the sheets and she has never been able to climax with him…which is where Samuel comes in.

The intern shows her exactly what she’s been missing out on for all those years – again and again and again.

So it’s no wonder Kidman had to pause filming to take a break from all the orgasms, as she said it got to a point where she ‘didn’t care if she was never touched again in her life’.

“It was so present all the time for me that it was almost like a burnout,” the Australian actress said.

We’ve heard all kinds of details from her in the last few weeks, including how she was left with bruises ‘all over her body’ after shooting the sex scenes.

The Eyes Wide Shut star also dished the dirt on how these intimate moments were filmed, what her husband Keith Urban thinks of them, and how thinking about the shots makes her ‘blush’.

So, after all this hype surrounding Babygirl, people have got pretty big expectations – especially about that milk scene, which was inspired by real-life events.

Thankfully, those who have watched the film have been applauding the ‘easy chemistry’ between Kidman and Dickinson, so the relationship between them is apparently very believable.

And in a new interview with BAFTA, the duo explained how they forged this dynamic between them – and how the rest of the film crew helped, too.

Describing those who work behind-the-scenes as ‘unsung heroes’, Kidman heaped praise on cinematographer Jasper Wolf for his ‘delicate’ approach to filming the sex scenes.

“There was just an enormous amount of trust there,” she said. “So [Wolf] just focuses on what we’re trying to create, and he will dance around that, he will light accordingly. He was just a joy.

“You can be doing all these things, but if you don’t have the camera there in the right way, with the right lighting, with everything, then you’re not going to have it.

“It won’t exist. You may as well be doing stage.”

Dickinson was in firm agreement and explained that ‘even the boom operator’ was instrumental in getting the risqué scenes done right.

“In some of those scenes the crew were reduced to facilitate a more intimate environment,” the Triangle of Sadness star said.

“It felt like there was times where you’re really all on the same energy.”

Kidman then chimed in: “And so there’s times when you feel incredibly vulnerable and exposed and raw.

“But then there’s other parts that are very exciting and hopefully they’re capturing those.”

The Babygirl co-stars both admitted that filming in New York in freezing temperatures was ‘brutal’, but in the end, they reckon it ended up adding to the emotion of certain scenes.

Kidman continued: “It penetrates the performance. You know, you will either be shivering or shaking, or even when we’re outside when smoking a cigarette together.

“And there’s this kind of palpable energy, and then when you have to keep each other warm, even when we were swimming in the pool.

“You have to come together. When you use the environment and you don’t fight [it], I think that really helps the performance.”

She then explained that the pair ‘rehearsed a lot just by talking’ and would raise suggestions for tweaks to the script with Reijn after finding a natural flow between her and Dickinson.

Dickinson added: “The script was changing, like we were feeding back to Halina along the way, and she would sort of try stuff with us and then we would change it and adapt it to what felt right.

“We did long takes. You know, we had scenes that were sometimes six pages, where we had to just do it all the way. And that’s fun, I think.”

Kidman compared their approach to ‘theatre’ performers, suggesting they were able to exercise a bit more creative control over their characters.

Now, there’s just over a week to go until Babygirl lands in the UK, and we can finally see if their extensive efforts paid off.

Florence Pugh has spoken out about her chemistry with Andrew Garfield in their newly released film We Live in Time.

The movie came out January 1 in the UK, and features the titanic acting pair as Almut and Tobias.

The film follows their lives in fragmented non-linear moments, telling the story of their relationship whilst jumping around it sequentially.

We Live in Time has received various plaudits from critics, in particular the strong chemistry and performances from the leading pair and the handling various tones of the film.

As a film, it has moments of genuine comedy alongside utterly heartbreaking twists. In addition to that, though, it has brilliantly portrayed sex scenes, in which the pair share great chemistry.

Their chemistry led to them for one scene to be so in the moment, they ‘didn’t hear cut’ during filming.

Garfield sat down with Josh Horowitz in New York recently to speak about an intimate scene with Pugh, where neither of them heard the cameraman shout ‘cut’, so as the professionals that they are, the actors kept going at it.

He explained that it was a ‘closed set’, where the director was in a different room and there was only a camera operator named Stuart in there with the actors, who had to perform the passionate sex scene.

Garfield explained: “The scene becomes passionate and we get into it as it were and we go a little bit further than we were meant to.. it’s feeling safe and we just kind of… go from the next thing to the next thing and we’ll let this progress and we’ll just carry on.”

However, it reached a point where The Amazing Spider-Man actor looked up and realised that Stuart was stood facing the wall in the corner of the room, waiting for them to finish.

It’s a great example of professionalism from the actors, who kept going as they didn’t hear to stop, while speaking to the on-screen spark between the actors.

Pugh spoke about this and the Kelly and Mark show, as the hosts pointed out that she even had ‘chemistry with a door knob’.

Noting that she’s been asked the question a few times by the press, she said: “Ultimately, we don’t really know what chemistry is, other than the fact that you’ve got two energies that are working together – and he’s such a talented actor, and I’ve always admired his work, and when I saw this movie opportunity of whether I would do it.

“I just was so unbelievably thrilled to know that I could have the opportunity working with him in this way.”

The Oppenheimer actress went on: “I think when you have two people that are completely invested in being great for one another, I guess that’s probably what happened, we had such an insane experience shooting this movie and creating this life with these lovers.”

Going on to say that it was ‘wonderful’ to hear that people have enjoyed the film, Pugh also said she was ‘excited’ for wider audiences to be able to experience the flick.

We Live in Time is in cinemas now.
