Sex Toys Of The Future

Today’s self-pleasure options are not only more prevalent than ever and more precise in the way they function. They’re also considered less taboo by mainstream society and have been given some huge upgrades in the last few years. If we’re living in an imminent domain, then this is where most men want to stay.

Just a couple of decades ago, however, men could only dream of the items they can now run out and buy at the store. There were a bunch of “Wouldn’t it be nice…” conversations flying around until one fateful day, the market’s best sex toy innovators began walking the walk.

By creatively utilizing society’s collective technological advancements, the end result has become an entire industry filled with superior, futuristic pleasure devices that come in all shapes and sizes.They also say that girls just want to have fun, but guys are looking for some excitement, too (especially when it comes to sex and masturbation).

Apparently, the high-tech sex toy makers of the world have heard their desperate mating calls.

In just the last 10 years alone, innovators have started coming out with products that rival the real thing while being extremely easy to use and maintain. Such as realistic sex dolls.

At first glance, one might think that dildos and vibrators still reign supreme. But upon closer inspection, anyone can see that technology is revolutionizing the way men (and women) enjoy getting off.

Imagine a world where you can strap on your VR headset, crank up your smart bodysuit and have virtual sex with someone on the other side of the globe. It sounds like the setting for a sci-fi porn flick, but this remote sex haven is closer than you think.

We’ve already explored how vulture lungs and steam powered dildo’s got our ancestors off in the history of sex toys, so now it’s time to look forwards. What does the future of sex toys hold?

Where do you currently keep your sex toys? In the sock drawer? Do you have a dedicated goodie cupboard? While 78% of women masturbate and a third of British women own a sex toy, many of us still feel too embarrassed to admit it.

Now picture an insta-worthy living room with a coffee table proudly displaying an arty magazine, a cactus, and a beautiful, artisanal, teal-coloured dildo…

According to our sexperts, advances in sex tech will be accompanied by a more open and accepting attitude towards sexuality.

Do Sex Toys Have A History?

The real history goes back 30,000 years to these phallic batons from the Upper Paleolithic period. The early sex toys were made of bone and ivory and teeth. They were classified by archaeologists as flint-shaping tools and found in Germany and other parts of Eurasia during the Ice Age.

There is debate. You have archaeologists debating and saying, “Oh, they have marks on them and could be used to shape flint.” But there was no reason they needed to sharpen flint on something shaped like a penis. And then you have ancient Greeks and Lysistrata, the Aristophanes play where women give up sex. The overarching theme in the history of sex toys is that it’s filled with male fear and regulation of them, though I’d note that not all cultures have this fear. For example, the Japanese had a playfulness toward dildos, and drawings in the 17th and 18th centuries showed the ideal conjugal bedroom as having sex toys.

What Does The Future Of Sex Toys Look LIke?

 Automated masturbation machines

You can stop pumping your penis with your bare hands until your shoulder is on fire thanks to this remarkably user-friendly innovation. Now serving as baseline technology, these fully automatic masturbators were once the pinnacle of mankind’s imagination because of their integrated motors and powerfully convenient, hands-free functionality.

Of course, men had to start adding their own unique customizations to the idea and eventually, we ended up inventing even more crazy stuff.

Tailor Made Sex Toys

The future isn’t just about high tech gadgets: it’s about having greater control over our sex toys.

Imagine a vibrator with a range of personalised settings: whether you fancy something slow and sensual or a quickie during your lunch break, you can tailor your dildo to give you exactly what you need.

Voice recognition technology will play a big part in the future. “I foresee vibrators that are voice-activated – responding when asked to change speeds, thrust force, etcetera,” says LaQuita.  Makes Alexa look pretty boring by comparison, eh?

Could sex toys one day even become integrated into our bodies? Bryony Cole, founder of media and research company Future of Sex, thinks that in 30 years we might not even distinguish sex toys as separate entities.

“The rate of innovation in bio-hacking and body modification means some innovations, like Rich Lee’s LoveTron9000 – an implant embedded behind the pubic bone so that the penis vibrates – may be more common” Brony says.

If vibrating penis’s aren’t your thing, how about a smart bed which can hug you, whisper sweet nothings in your ear and stimulate your nether regions?

Teledildonics

Strapping on a VR headset is great, but what if you want to be even more immersed in your porn? Well, that’s what the emerging industry of teledildonics is for! This sci-fi sounding piece of tech is something people have been thinking about for a long time, with the term first being coined in 1975, but only now has the technology caught up enough to actually be able to offer it. Essentially, teledildonics refers to sex toys that are able to receive and then transmit a sense of touch through the internet. There is then two main ways this can be applied…

The first way teledildonics can be used is quickly changing the way long distance relationships work. The days of phone sex are almost over, as more and more sex toys and companies adopt this technology. The idea is that partners can buy two compatible toys and then link them up over the internet so that the sensations transfer between one another. For instance, imagine using a vibrator and any movements you make with it instantly being transferred to the stroker your partner is using on the other side of the globe! The second way this technology can be used is alongside porn. Websites like FeelMe offer a massive range of videos compatible with teledildonics toys, meaning you’ll be feeling what you are seeing on the screen. This even works with live cam models, where performers have connected devices to allow you to interact with them like never before.

Robotic Dolls

ROBOT sex dolls are increasingly big business and manufacturers are claiming their products are so lifelike people are even marrying them.

THE latest generation of sex dolls are being touted as the most lifelike yet — able to listen and answer questions using sophisticated voice recognition software and move like a real person. The voice recognition is no different to a smart phone, but this model also has facial expressions, unlike standard silicone heads.

The UK’s first sex doll brothel opened earlier this year – though in Italy one was shut down. Here’s everything you need to know about the growing phenomenon. 

What are sex robots?

Robots already build our cars, clean our houses and make our food – now manufacturers are offering life-like, moving dolls for “private fun”.

Sex robots are essentially realistic dolls that have sophisticated movements that closely mimic humans so that they can romp. 

Sex bots are hyper-realistic with features such as built-in heaters to create the feeling of body warmth.

They also have sensors to react to your touch.

One company is even developing a head that can speak, smile and sing for its robot sex dolls, while sex doll Harmony is the first to offer an “emotional connection”.

Back in the day, the closest thing men had to enjoying a genuinely “realistic” session was to use a sex doll. Unfortunately, old-school models were almost laughable. But then things started getting super accurate sometime around the mid-2000s, and now we have a remarkable selection of extremely life-life sex bots at our fingertips.

Features such as skin-like materials, self-warming orifices, full-body detailing, texturized canals and internal pulsations are only the tip of the iceberg. Some of today’s most futuristic dolls can learn whatever names you give them and even hold their own during erotic conversations.

Plus, they don’t require cab fare when you’re done (or a romantic dinner before you begin).

Experts say these specialised robots will start to appear in ordinary homes in the next decade, as lonely humans look for love. In Australia, there are already several websites selling realistic sex dolls, not of the robotic kind, but dolls made from TPE, TPE (or Thermoplastic Elastomer) is almost brand new, compared to silicone. It is a mixture of rubber and plastic and damn these dolls look real!

Virtual Reality

Just recently, industry big dogs introduced a revolutionary sex product that demonstrates just how far we’ve come since the first days of self-gratification.

By harnessing a curious combination of motion sensors, electro-stimulation (e-stim) and other applied sciences, our sex toy market now features the world’s first pair of virtual reality gloves–a particularly perverted innovation that allows users to “feel” their favourite partners and/or performers in real-time. There’s VR, of course, and there’s one called iFuk that has a male masturbator, and you put it on and then put on the DVD, and it mimics the sex you see on screen. In general, there will probably be more sex toys for men, more VR toys for both, and sex robots. And my hope is that there will be more stuff for queer people, and sex dolls for women.

No partner? No problem! It’s just a matter of time before celebrities will license use of their faces for sex dolls, or VR scenes, so you’ll be able to have a simulated experience with your favourite celebrity.

And when combined with an automatic or interactive masturbation machine and some good VR goggles, the experience is difficult to differentiate from the real McCoy.

Virtual reality is pretty self-explanatory. It’s using advanced devices such as VR Goggles in order to simulate something that isn’t actually real. It has emerged in the past couple of years and has found exponential success in fields such as Architecture and Gaming.

Even if VR technology has been with us ever since the 30’, it has truly lived up to its name in the past couple of years. We’ve all seen those goggles with the switching pictures when we were kids and the filthier version that was made for adults.

But, it was only a matter of time before we figured out how we can use this amazing improved technology to fulfill our “other” needs. Since the emergence of modern VR goggles, we have tried ever so vigilantly to get filthy with it.

Versatile Use

One of the biggest trends right now, and one that I hope only continues to improve, is versatile toys. This relates to a few different aspects of design, but the main idea is that these are toys that are designed without a specific use in mind. Instead, they can be used in a variety of different ways on a variety of different body parts. This allows for toys to not be gendered or only compatible with specific body parts and means that you can find a method of use that is most pleasurable for you. I love the idea of these products because everyone’s bodies are different and thus can receive pleasure in different ways, and spending $100+ on a sex toy (which you can’t typically return after use) to only find it doesn’t work with your exact measurements can be ridiculous. These toys are also particularly good for people with disabilities or mobility issues who may otherwise struggle to use traditional sex toys.

Tips for sex in the future safely

When using any new or high-tech sex toy, be sure to:

1. Read the manufacturer’s instructions and warnings very carefully.
2. Always keep plenty of water-based personal lubricant on deck.
3. Never forget to clean up after yourself when you’re done using your device.
4. Talk to your partner about his or her wants and needs before selecting or using an interactive machine.
5. Remember, even products that look and function similarly aren’t always made the exact same, so try not to assume anything.
6. Only purchase your products from a well-known or well-respected merchant to avoid getting ripped off.
