AI is Coming, And So Will You
We spoke with Brian Sloan, the man behind the legendary AI-enabled suction stroker, Autoblow. Its companion toy, VacuGlide, uses suction to milk men to orgasm even if they start with a totally flaccid member. With 3 sizes of strokers to suit any member, plus the Autoblow’s library of hundreds of porn videos to sync with, the system is so powerful that even its own inventor slapped a warning label on it.
The scourge of ED is something that should not be dealt with using pills and pumps, but experience. The Autoblow allows the unfortunate/setback masturbator to experience the glory of being slowly brought to rigidity by sensation. The first machine to get at all close to the loving/caring hand of a human partner.
The attention to detail makes one think that a tortured horny genius has been toiling away for them. Half a dozen independent rings all working together for the singular goal of making your day.
The synchronization with your favorite porns feels so good it’s dangerous. Like opiates, shark cages or skydiving equipment, it’s not that the device itself is dangerous, but it invites you to a world you won’t want to leave.
The Turing test for artificial life is whether you can tell the difference between the robot and the human. What do you call it when the reason you can tell the difference is because the robot is BETTER than the human?
Portland-Based Spartacus Offers Sustainable Leather & Vegan Fetish Gear
Sex education is more than just learning where the ovaries are and what the fuck a seminal vesicle does. It’s also for learning what turns your wheels, what drives you. And by talking to Roger from Spartacus, I learned that I have a wild, primal desire to slap a lambskin-covered cane against the thigh of the next guy who bails on plans to pick me up from the airport.
But if your thing is tying up your subby good boy/girl, and also you don’t want any animals to suffer for your playtime, they’ve got you covered with vegan PU restraints, as well. I’ve gotta say, even as a generally vanilla Dominant-leaning dame, the soft grip of Spartacus restraints had me wanting to explore my submissive side.
If you’re into pain, you want it from your Dom/partner, not your equipment. Spartacus has designed for that.
Torture your sub, not innocent animals.
It’s interesting to see a wholesome vibe to BDSM. Something I’d never have considered wholesome before.
Blush Makes Sex Toys Accessible, Sustainable, Aesthetic, Affordable
Even though I’m attracted to some men, I’ve never enjoyed looking at or touching balls. I’ll do it, but I have to mask the sigh with a moan. Until now. Meet the DaVinci from Blush, a hyper-realistic, dual density, sliding skin dildo with veiny, squeezable balls. Y’all. Las Vegas is full of temptations for most people. Some have to use their self-control to walk past the slot machines and not blow the kids’ college fund. I had to use mine to resist popping some Flintts Mints and taking the DaVinci up to my room. Its wet-look texture gave me the illusion that I’d already slobbed on it, and made me want to keep going. Somewhere, there is a psychologist who specializes in both game theory and human sexuality who could explain why my brain did what it did. But right now, therapy is not what I need. DaVinci is.
The one slightly heavy part of the expo was thinking about how all sex toys eventually reach their end of life, and need to be discarded. Obviously, that environmental impact is not insignificant, and that’s a real boner killer. Good news: Blush’s Gaia line is biodegradable without compromising on power or aesthetics. All buzz, no kill.
In addition to aesthetics and sustainability, accessibility was a theme at Blush’s booth. This wand is designed for people with mobility issues or anatomic differences to more easily reach the vulva. Most wands are stick-straight, and even with flexible heads it can be hard to find a good position. But Blush thought of that, and the result is delightful.
What more could you ask from one line of sex toys? Their beginner-friendly butt plug comes in a form factor small enough to stick a bunch into a fishbowl, and because they’re made of clear jelly, they’re soft and approachabl e, making anal seem less like taming a wild beast and more like a short hike with a nice view.
Artists, material scientists and sticklers for realism can come to a horny agreement over the DaVinci line of products.
Dildos have always been stylized versions of penises, until now. No longer does the smooth silicone shell remind you constantly that this is not a real penis. Suspend disbelief and enhance the fantasy with skin that slides like the real thing, a shaft with just the right amount of rigidity/pliability, and balls that are honestly more fun than actual testicles.
How often have you really wanted to forcefully push around your partner's testicles but refrained for fear of hurting him?
Best of all, these balls don’t sag in summer.
I truly cannot explain how trippy this replica penis was. If it weren’t for the slightly rubbery skin texture I’d have thought I was beating my own dick. No other toy was anywhere as close to replicating actual genitals.
Nobu Exemplifies Artistry & Resilience
A warehouse fire took out Montreal-based sex toy company Nobu’s inventory. And then they started over. But you wouldn’t know it just by talking to them . “We’re three girls growing our boss’s business,” said Alexandra Bouchard of her colleagues Becky and Karolyne.
And the feminine joy is reflected in every Nobu design, because fun and connection are exactly what sex and masturbation are all about. From E-girl bondage to pastel tentacles and nautical themed grind plates, Nobu makes seemingly extreme kinks like creature dongs and glass butt plugs seem accessible and less intimidating. I’d never thought of anal play as “cute,” but Rainier just laughed and told me to grow up .
Many companies feel as if they’re scientifically trying to turn sex into numbers and designs inspired by profit or marketability. Nobu truly feels like they’re including personality and fun in your pleasure. Dare I say…whimsically?
Mapalé Proves Size Inclusivity Can be Luxurious
It’s not every day you see a plus-size model strutting down a runway. And honestly, most of the plus-size lingerie I see on OF models is, well, kinda basic.
Mapalé is a Colombian-inspired, Miami-based lingerie brand with offerings ranging from resort wear to BDSM, and in their racks you’ll find that they have developed some of their luxurious lingerie in patterns up to 3X. And we’re not talking about packaged “queen size” Halloween tights. Embroidered bodysuits for the season. Bridal. Kinky. This artistry proves that craftsmanship is still alive and well, even when fashion in general is in its Temu era.
