Technology and sex make for wonderful bedfellows. The adult novelty market is booming with the synergy of the digital age. Some say technology has tainted us sexually, what with online porn, affair-friendly chat rooms and unprecedented access to sexual information in general; however, for all of the innocence that’s been lost, we’ve gained some real advances, too.
Here are some digital developments in the world of sex. Do any of them tickle your fancy?
iBuzz: Now you can rock out to your favorite music and come to the same rhythm. The iBuzz from Love Labs connects to your MP3 player, so it can vibrate to everything from Al Green to Notorious B.I.G. to Sade. The vibrating bullet stimulates your or your partner’s most sensitive parts. The louder the music, the more powerful the vibrations. A soft silicone cover encases the bullet and a silicone attachment allows you to go hands-free during intercourse. Air guitar, anyone? It also works without music when you just need some peace and quiet (and orgasms). Visit http://www.lovelabs.co.uk/.
Happy Kitty: If you think sex toys are the same old, same old, you may feel hopeful again with the Happy Kitty. Veteran vibrator users will notice a totally different kind of sensation and new users may find it’s a good place to start. Rather than vibrating, the Happy Kitty uses “Flo Vibe technology,” or a gentle suction motion that is made for the clitoris. The inventor says it’s a lot like oral sex. Sorry guys, right now it only works for simulating on the ladies! Visit http://www.kittymassager.com/.
Teledildonics: In a long-distance relationship? Then teledildonics may be just what the doctor ordered. Forget phone sex. Teledildonics allow you to hook up a sex toy to your computer that is remotely controlled by someone else-someone at another computer, far, far away (or close, if you want to spice things up a bit with your live-in love). Teledildonics provide the benefits of cyber sex, in that you are using words to turn each other on. But you also get to control each other’s physical stimulation. The future has arrived!

Virtual-reality sex: Monkeys are learning about “brain orgasms”-literally. Researchers are working on simulating sex, without another monkey or any genital stimulation at all. It all takes place inside the brain and is as close to the real thing as you can get. Experiments on humans may be in the future. Sex without people? Or touching the genitals? Hmmm, that might be taking it a bit too far. It’s a little too Woody Allen and his Orgasmatron, in the movie Sleeper. We still need each other, digital age and all.
