Science, it would seem, can improve just about anything. Over the past 50 years we’ve seen the scientific applications for pop culture take us from boxy black and white television
sets, clunky VCR videocassettes and home appliances that took up nearly an entire room to smartphones, refrigerators that are connected to the internet and cars that can park themselves.
So what about our sex lives? Is there room in bed for science to spice things up? The world of sex tech has entered what many consider to be its Golden Era. Today there are electronics, toys and computer peripherals that have changed the way people connect and have sex with one another as well as how we experience self-love.
Connecting With One Another
Couples have always looked for ways to spice up their sex lives and have more fun in the bedroom. Using sex toys and accessories is the easiest way to add another dimension to your shared sex life and experiment with new sensations, experiences and fetishes.
Couples who get off on competition can now take their competitive streak to new heights thanks to a number of apps that let you track both the frequency and quality of your orgasms. The Orgasm O Meter made for Apple iOs is perhaps one of the most popular, if only because it’s available for iPhone users and has pretty good user ratings. The app lets you manually log data but its real attraction is that it monitors sound and vibration in order to give users a detailed view of how intense their orgasms were.
Of course, these days long-distance relationships are more common than ever before. Thanks to the Internet it’s entirely possible you can meet your true soul mate, that One True Love you’ve been waiting for all your life … only to learn they live halfway across the country or on the other side of the world. For these couples, the company Lovesense has developed a true game changer. The Lovesense Teledildonics range is pretty much what it sounds like – sex toys for Him or Her that are connected over the internet. These devices can be controlled by your partner no matter where they are. Being able to interact with each other intimately – albeit remotely – has changed the way long-distance relationships work and, for some couples, it’s become a true life saver.
Our Bodies, Ourselves
Sex isn’t something you need a partner in order to enjoy. Sex technology for masturbation is working hard to bring self-love into the 21st Century. In the past, masturbatory sex toys tended to be limited to vibrators and the occasional vibrating cock ring. But today, there are toys for anyone and everyone.
Traditional dildos have gotten a major overhaul thanks to products like Hum. The Hum Vibrator is billed as being the world’s first vibe with Artificial Intelligence. Claiming the dildo has AI may be a bit of a stretch but the Hum does respond and change its tempo and intensity based on the users movements. It’s assembled with medical grade silicone, dual motors and a computer that delivers body responsive changes.
But the real advancements have come in the world of male sex toys. The AutoBlow isn’t the only blowjob simulator on the market, but it’s the original. AutoBlow promises to deliver the same sensations as a real blowjob anytime the user wants. The company is committed to creating the best product available and they used feedback from beta testers through their own website. Men from all over the world used the original AutoBlow and delivered feedback that went into creating future models.
The world of sex tech is becoming not only more diverse, but more mainstream as well. Magazines, television shows and even your Aunt Maggie are all talking about sex toys and sex in general with greater ease and a sense of openness. Not only does this signal a change in how society sees sexuality, it heralds the dawn of a new day when it comes to choice and quality for your next sex toy investment.
