Revolutionising Intimacy: How Advanced Sex Toys are Enhancing Sexual Experiences

It seems like everything these days is becoming smarter, from our phones to our homes and everything in them, even our fridges! On the flip side, for the longest time, the most high-tech thing about vibrators has just been the fact that they vibrate at all, especially if there are multiple different patterns and intensities to choose from. These days however, the latest and most advanced sex toys are capable of connecting people with each other and with their own personal pleasure in all-new ways — this includes helping couples stay in touch over long-distance relationships, enhancing solo play with virtual reality, and using machine learning to teach smart sex toys how to perform for maximum enjoyment!

The Evolution of Sex Toys: From Basic to High-Tech

In recent years, tech innovations in intimacy have created advanced sex toys beyond our ancestors’ wildest dreams (and we do know that they were dreaming of sex toys since they were apparently carving dildos from siltstone almost 30,000 years ago). As fun, as it is to believe, Cleopatra’s bee-powered vibrator is sadly nothing more than a myth, and the first electro-mechanical vibrator was actually invented around 1880. This vibrator predated the electric iron and vacuum cleaner by at least a decade and was originally powered by a generator the size of a fridge! Fast forward a century or so, and the invention of the rabbit vibrator (now featuring an external clitoral stimulator). The rabbit took the world by storm after it was featured in an episode of Sex And The City in the mid-90s, catapulting intimacy technology and sex toy acceptance into the mainstream.

Today, we have sex toys that are app-compatible to give people the power to control their toy from their phone or a partner’s, opening up new avenues of play like custom vibration modes, real-time control (such as adjusting vibration strength and patterns with a tap of the screen), and letting a partner control the toy from anywhere in the world. The fun doesn’t end there, though…

The Impact of AI & Virtual Reality on Sexual Wellness

In more recent years, the AI and machine learning movements have swept through the field of male sex toys to create masturbators that are compatible with VR and AI-generated content. In the case of VR (virtual reality), users don VR equipment like headsets or goggles to immerse themselves fully in a 360° scene as though they are actually there. The visual stimulation alone of seeing your favourite pornstar up close and personal in the most realistic POV (point of view) ever can be fantastic, but pair it with a toy that’s synced up to their movements, and the experience becomes even more engaging! Studies also show that virtual reality porn can produce a more positive experience than viewing from a monitor or screen, and VR porn is quickly gaining popularity when it comes to people finding ways to bring their fantasies to life.

Of course, not all porn is VR-compatible since the process of making VR porn is different and more cumbersome for both the crew and the actors compared to filming regular porn. This means that there may not be any VR scenes of specific stars a user wants to see, or only limited interactive content libraries containing VR porn.

That’s where AI (artificial intelligence) comes in, and it’s set to be the next game-changer in the porn industry. Some of the latest advanced sex toys available at Sexyland come from brands like Autoblow® and Kiiroo, which use AI to sync their toys’ functions and performance to porn videos in real-time. This lets users experience whatever is happening onscreen for themselves, which is sure to spice up any solo handjob to new heights…

Autoblow has their own video sync library, which is updated weekly and already contains hundreds of hand-picked erotic videos from consenting amateur performers on Pornhub. Setting up their Autoblow AI Ultra masturbator unit with the library takes just seconds and doesn't require any technical know-how, meaning users can spend less time dealing with complicated instructions and more time living out their favourite porn fantasies!

Kiiroo offers a FeelAI subscription service, which turns any adult video into interactive content so users don’t have to search for syncable content for their toy to replicate and can just jump into any porn scene they like. For additional ways to play, Kiiroo’s high-end Keon masturbator range has advanced Bluetooth and app-compatible capabilities that offer more ways to play, including long-distance with a partner, or synced to 2D animated, VR, and even webcam video content so you can watch live streamers and experience their movements as they’re making them! Kiiroo has also partnered with several porn stars, such as Britney Amber and Victoria June to create stroker sleeves that are moulded from their bodies and interactive content for users to enjoy the sleeves with for an unbeatable immersive experience.

What are the latest advanced sex toys available at Sexyland?

We’ve covered Sexyland’s AI-enhanced and virtual reality sex toys, but some of our other toys offer different kinds of interactivity, such as the Svakom Neo range. These toys not only offer long-distance control to anyone you choose, but also have an interactive webcam to easily livestream your pleasure directly to a partner or a larger audience for exhibitionists, streamers, and cam performers.

And of course, let’s not forget that some of Sexyland’s all-time bestselling toys have been app-compatible from the get-go, like the Lovense Lush 3 and Lovense Ferri Panty Vibrator, which have long-been popular with couples looking for discreet ways to spice up date night. Lovense’s Max 2 Masturbator and Nora Rabbit Vibrator also deserve a special mention here thanks to their Long Distance Sex mode, which causes the toys to react to each other’s movements while two partners use them, even if they’re on the other side of the world from each other!

Almost all of the We-Vibe® range is app-compatible to allow for hands-free setting adjustments, which is quite, ahem, handy considering the placement of the vibrators on or in the wearer’s body can make hitting the control buttons tricky in certain positions.

Even the cult-favourite Satisfyer Pro 2 is now app-compatible, and there’s an onboard library of narrated erotic stories to lose yourself in while the Air Pulse sensations blow (and suck) you away…
