Remote Control Vibrators

When most people think of “vibrator apps” or “smart vibrators”, they often are thinking of vibrators that can be remotely controlled from an app. These products, often coined as the unsexy term teledildonics, have been around for over a decade and are becoming more and more plentiful, especially since the patent for remote control vibrators expired in the last year.

Some examples of popular remote control vibrators are the We Vibe 4 Plus, Lovense, Lioness, and Vibease. They’re sometimes used by couples who are long distance or want a new spin on public play by using the vibrator in public. Remote control vibrators are also very popular with camgirls, where they’re able to use the vibrator on a livestream video for an online audience, and viewers can even pay them to remotely control the vibrator’s intensity.

VR Pornography

VR porn is also a very popular topic when it comes to the future of sex. Still in its infancy, companies are experimenting with VR to provide new, titillating sexual experiences for their customers. More recently, VR has also been combined with some sex toys so you can feel what you are seeing in virtual reality. Fleshlight has been producing some of these experiences in partnership with Kiiroo.

The Future: Orgasm Tracking, Improvement, And So Much More

Smart vibrators have mostly been about remote control vibrators, but they can be waaaaayyyy more than just that. After all, we’re in 2019 and we have all sorts of magical gadgets and gizmos, so there should be more ways to explore and have fun with sex and tech.

The leader in this category is, well, us. TheLioness Vibrator is the only vibrator out there that uses precision sensors and biofeedback so that users can understand how factors likealcohol, stress, medication, and eveninjuriesaffect their pleasure. People who have the Lioness have used it in avariety of ways— from using it as a sex diary to track and improve their own sexual satisfaction to experimenting withnew techniques, to evenimproving sex with your partner(with and without the vibe)... or, you know, just having fun. And yes, you can also use it as a remote control vibrator if you so choose (and also see arousal and orgasm in real time...).

With the power of data, there’s so much more the Lioness can do beyond just orgasm tracking and being the “Fitbit of Vibrators”. Because the Lioness Vibrator is entirely built from software from the ground up, its setup looks far more like a modern smartphone than it does a traditional vibrator. We can change almost anything in terms of base functionality or add entirely new functionality that use Lioness’ broad set of sensors.

What that means is you can enjoy new experiences with the product you’ve already bought with a simple update. You can do everything from see your arousal and orgasm in real time, use Lioness as a remote control vibrator,look at more aggregate data,make art from your orgasms,download your own data for personal use, and much more. We've even had pop starscreate music with their own orgasm data... so, they sky's the limit. We’re continuously working on new features and functionalities that our customers ask about… so watch this space. 😉

It took a lot more work to do, but given how much everyone wanted it, and just the concept of your vibrator getting better over time even after you get it, we thought it was worth it when we made Lioness. It also makes the future of sex much faster-paced and more exciting than churning out one product and feature at a time, which can take months or even years per product. You can access all the newest sex technology with a simple app update from your phone.
