I estimate that at least half of the sex-tech entrepreneurs I’ve written about over the years are men who say they invented their product or service at the prodding of their wives and girlfriends. In many cases, the women keep their day jobs to support the household and prop up the business, and the men [...]

Kinect goes Wiiiiiiiiiiii, Wiiiii, Wiiii, all the way home — to home base, that is
December 29th, 2010 · 10 Comments
Sure, the hand is dismembered, but if you’re into the game, you won’t even notice. If you have a powerful enough imagination to hook yourself into a game like this (and I do), a little thing like a Thing avatar isn’t going to toss you out of the scene.

Hey baby, wanna come over and … fold my socks?
October 28th, 2010 · 2 Comments
It’s a little bit Rube Goldberg for both of the purposes people are talking about, but who cares. It’s a robot! (And reminding me of a Big Bang Theory episode about a robot arm…)

It’s just like old times! Porn in the mail
September 14th, 2010 · 2 Comments
I don’t know if where I live is considered “remote” or “rural,” but I do have to drive into town to pick up my mail. I try to get to it once a week so that mail doesn’t languish too long. Usually, They give you 10 days to respond to annoying stuff like insurance expiration [...]

iPhone + FaceTime + OhMiBod = Cybersex under the covers
August 19th, 2010 · Comments Off
Debby Herbenick gives the iPhone 4 and FaceTime video chat a turgid, throbbing thumbs up as a cybersex platform. I’ve been taking another look at the current options for teledildonics, so of course my first thought was “sounds great, and will it work with the OhMiBod?”
I figured it would, as the OhMiBod toys vibrate [...]

Toy Review (NSFW): Body Heat Vibrator from Pipedream
May 22nd, 2010 · Comments Off
Let me start by saying that the heat functionality makes up for a lot in this new vibrator from Pipedream Products. But it doesn’t make it worth $160 to $300 retail. Maybe $80, and definitely $60. But not $300.
Click here to see all the stats from the manufacturer.
For my first test, I chose the high [...]
US$100 says grandmas and grandkids won’t be the first to use the robot hand
April 27th, 2010 · Comments Off
Professor Liu Yunhui leads a team in Hong Kong that has produced an internet-enabled robot hand. Connect the hand to a network and it will perform movements on one end of the connection based on the commands it receives from the other end.
In other words, it’s another consumer-level entry into the realm of internet-enabled [...]
G Ki Hits the Spot, Mostly
March 3rd, 2010 · Comments Off
The G Ki g-spot vibrator hit the shelves about the same time the argument about the g-spot not existing hit the headlines. I missed most of the furor, though, as I was busy testing the G Ki instead of responding to bait like, “The controversial G-spot has no genetic component and therefore probably doesn’t exist,” [...]

3D porn doesn’t have to suck
January 15th, 2010 · 2 Comments
In the aftermath of the Adult Entertainment Expo last weekend, one of the rumbles making its way through the bloglands is “are we sure we want to see porn in 3D?” Or, on the performers’ side, “I’m damn sure I don’t want to make porn in 3D! HD is bad enough!”
Objections range from the glasses [...]
Debut: Sqweel Oral Sex Simulator
October 13th, 2009 · Comments Off
LoveHoney sent me a sample of this toy and it’s waiting for me at home. I’m on a business trip for my day job, so I don’t have first-hand experience to share with you yet.
It’s interesting and cute, a home version of the intimidating, industrial, and totally hot Chainsaw Masochist at fuckingmachines.com.
I’m annoyed by [...]

A caveat about webcams, body image, and sex
April 6th, 2009 · 1 Comment
I recently got a new laptop, and it has the little webcam thingie embedded in the frame around the display. And oh what an unflattering image it creates! When I angle the screen for best productivity, I end up shooting video from below my chin. This not only gives a nice up-the-nose perspective to anyone [...]
