Gwyneth Paltrow's published her guide to adult toys...

Two points that need addressing before we continue - yes, the list naturally includes a 24 carat gold toy which costs $15,000. And, yes, this list does appear on her 'Goop' website... It's too early in the morning to expand on the latter point, but its obvious should you let yourself go there.

The article, entitled 'Not so Basic Sex Toys', lots of black paraphernalia including a vibrator that resembles a claw, some scanties to make your bum look bigger - should you require help in that regard; a black feather tickler; lots of massage oil; and array of "pleasure sets" (including a "light BDSM starter kit"); a ring for "him and her"; and Agent Provocateur whip (a snip at $535); and the star of the line up - the Lelo Inez "gold dildo" which will set you back a few sponds. Don't worry, it comes with a 10-year guarantee.

Of course, there are some practical items on the list, such as 'Lelo Toy Cleaning Spray' (a bargain at $9.90), and a waterproof vibrator. There's also the multifunctional Kiki de Montparnasse Droplet Necklace ($395). “A discreet vibrating necklace that turns into nipple clamps.”

For those of you not willing to part with ridiculous sums of cash for your thrills, Gwynnie is also offering something for free - a card game called Weapons of Mass Seduction that you can print out and play for absolutely no charge.

However, if you simply can't exist without all the items on the list, you can purchase all 18 must haves for about $17,500 (15,000 euros).
