The Future of Pleasure: How Technology is shaping Today’s Sex Toy Trends
If you’ve watched Barbarella or Sleeper one too many times and have been anxiously awaiting the future of sci-fi sex robots and orgasm machines, your time is now. Today’s most exciting sex toys are using technology to push the boundaries of play, both alone and with a partner.
Music-Activated Toys
If you want to make a concert or night of clubbing extra enjoyable, you can don the Club Vibe 2.0H from OhMiBod. These vibrators come with two parts, including a clitoral stimulator tucked neatly away in a black lacy thong, and a wireless remote device with a built-in microphone. This mic picks up sound and translates it into synchronized pulses in the vibe. There’s a manual function if you want to hand the reins over to a partner, who can croon a tune for your pleasure. OhMiBod also makes a vibrator that connects to your iPod, so you can create a customised playlist that goes as fast or as slow as you like. The SaSi is a similar music-triggered product that remembers what you like and can be programmed to suit your needs.
Cybersex 2.0
Staying satisfied in a long distance relationship can be trying at times. Skype has been a godsend for long distance lovers, enabling mutual masturbation with video chats. However the latest sex toy gives cybersex a new lease on life. The Mojowijo vibrator is a device that can be connected via wireless to your laptop and then controlled remotely by your partner. There’s a pink vibe for the ladies and a blue wand with a ring shape on it for the gents, both of which are fitted to a handle that you can connect to your Nintendo Wii remote control. Both partners connect to one another using Skype and can then use the motion of their own remotes to control the settings of their partner’s vibrator. This allows direct physical interaction with your partner at a distance, the one thing that cybersex has been lacking.
USB Devices
Today’s best sex toys do double duty, as you can see by taking a look at the Duet Waterproof USB Rechargeable Vibrator. Not only can this USB storage device fit the bill for those looking for discretion at the office, but it holds up to 16 gigabytes of files and is rechargeable by USB. Store your files and then get down to real business. Many new vibrators on the market can be charged by USB, including the Intense Vibrating USB Bullet and LELO Mia USB Lipstick Vibrator. These are available through websites like Vibrations Direct and other top sources.
3D Porn Experience
Pornography has followed the big screen trend of 3D with its own subscription services, such as the “Bad Girls in 3D” brand. They offer a full 3D package, including a TV, computer, software, 3D glasses, and a monthly subscription of films. More and more production companies are jumping on board with three dimensional experiences for home viewers.
As technology continues to advance, it will be interesting to see how it is incorporated into adult products for a mainstream audience. Expect to see more fully integrated and realistic experiences using robotics and internet technology in the sexy future.

what about a music masturbator for the fellas?? they be hatin’
I hear, ya! I’d totally support that! Dudes get the short end of the stick when it comes to toys.
The guys definitely needs more toys! When I see toys like the music activated toy from ohmibod, I am blown away at how fast technology evolves and how music notes send vibrations to a woman who wants to jam out while getting in some personal time.
I think that we do need more toys for men there isnt a lot of them out there
