THE VIBRATOR
When we said never measured, never improved we meant it. Sexperiments are designed to help you find what does (and doesn't) influence your orgasms and arousal. Every month, Lioness users will come together to try and see if their orgasms data changes based on specific techniques, tools, and lifestyle changes.
In other words, we're inviting you to take part in spicy science projects for adults.
1. Join our community on the latest sexperiment
2. Set your hypothesis
3. Do "it" for science
4. Get AI-powered results on your data
Sexperiments will help Lioness users harness the power of their pleasure.
It’s been shown that novelty is an integral element of a fulfilling sex life — but the same benefit can be extended to masturbation. So if you really want to masturbate better, try something new!
By taking part in these experiments, Lioness users will learn what makes their orgasms feel better, how to explore their body, and to view masturbation as more than just a one-off session.
At the end of each Sexperiment, Lioness users will receive personalized data and analysis based on their hypothesis, session logs, and baseline data. They will also receive an exclusive badge that cannot be earned outside of each Sexperiment.
Anyone with a Lioness Smart Vibrator and a baseline session can participate — they just need to opt in using their Lioness app. From there, set a hypothesis,, tag your sessions and mark your orgasms to see how your arousal is influenced!
Absolutely not! The personalized data that you see at the end of each sexperiment is for your eyes only. If and when we share aggregate data, it is always anonymized.
Whether you’re a seasoned Lioness user or just not into group projects, participating in Sexperiments is optional. You can even opt out of Sexperiments if you change your mind after opting in.

New month, new Sexperiment!
In the spirit of all things spooky, Lioness users spent the month of October experimenting with pleasures they couldn’t see.
Here’s what the data says about blindfolds and orgasms:
For the first time ever, we had a tie! With only 14% of users reporting they never masturbate with their eyes open, the remaining 86% was equally divided between "Often” and "Sometimes.”
Lioness users were given the same three choices for this hypothesis as they always are: Get Better, Stay the Same, or Get Worse.
Here’s how they voted, with 55% of users predicting their O’s would Stay the Same:
Fun Fact: 5 out of the 7 sexperiments we’ve done so far have seen an overwhelming majority of folks hypothesizing their arousal won’t change. CBD and Edging have been the only experiments thus far where users thought their orgasms would improve. But in all seven experiments, data showed some element of improvement for arousal and orgasm — whether it was orgasm length, peak force, or star rating.
Lioness sessions tagged as "blindfolded” yielded some interesting results! Here’s what we found:
In a surprising turn of events for over half of Lioness Sexperimenters, blindfolds definitely improved orgasms and arousal from a data perspective. More time spent masturbating and stronger force during orgasm are just two indicators that perhaps there’s merit in covering your eyes during masturbation and sex.
Each month, Lioness users who participate in Sexperiments get access to full global data results AND their own personalized insights from their own sessions.
As a sex educator, I’m in a lot of online, sex positive forums and spaces. After all, these are the places people are asking the most important questions related to sex (not to mention sex is pretty much my favorite topic in the whole wide world).
One topic that comes up quite often is the topic of porn. It seems the internet is really divided on the subject and cannot agree if it’s normal, if it’s cheating, if it’s ethical, and more.
So join me as I get into the world of pornography and some definitive answers to your burning questions!
Yes! Not only is it normal to watch porn, but it’s normal to read it, to listen to it, and to even make your own. (You didn’t really think taking nudes was anything other than DIY porn, did you?)
We’ll get a bit more into what each of those encompass, but the bottom line is this: pornography is a normal and common sexual tool. It’s arousing, it’s enticing, and it’s indulgent. So if it gets you off, let yourself enjoy it.
The most important thing you can do as a pornography user is make sure you’re consuming ethical porn. And before you roll your eyes, hear me out.
The truth is that not all porn is created equally. Here are some ways to gauge whether what you’re consuming is ethical based on the type of content you’re consuming:
There are three types of porn you can consume if you want to give naughty content a try:
Absolutely! If there’s anything you learn from reading our Sex Guides, let it be this: sexual arousal, orgasm, and pleasure are unique to each of us. The ways in which we engage ourselves sexually are vast, and there’s no one thing that's going to work for all of us.
Porn is not immune to this truth. Some people are going to watch porn and be wholly unaroused, while others may hear it and be turned off or read it and have trouble engaging in it at all. Whether you’re aroused or unaffected by exposure to porn, it’s generally a normal reaction either way.
No, porn isn’t just for men. But if you’re a woman and you think porn is just for men —or if just hearing the word alone feels off putting —you’re not alone. So much of mainstream porn is geared towards cis-het men, that many people with vulvas often fall into accepting that it’s simply not for them or find that it’s not very arousing when they do go in search of it.
This experience is so prevalent, in fact, that an entire genre of porn was created to make porn feel more accessible —pornography for women.
On some sites, this means more romance and kissing. For others, this means intentionally representing various body types and relationships. All of it, however, tends to decenter male pleasure (unless you’re into that) and emphasizes female pleasure and female agency. (We are big fans of platforms like Afterglow and Dipsea, if you’re looking for suggestions. Both do a wonderful job creating erotic content for people without penises and queer people.)
This is a great question to ask — and a really common one. Fortunately, the answer is no, you’re not going to get clinically addicted to porn.
But wait! You read that story about that woman on Facebook having no sex life because her partner wouldn’t stop watching porn — like, he was doing it when he was driving, right? Surely that’s a thing that happens to people?
Well, yes and no. More often than not, the problems associated with using pornography are better described as one of two things:
Regardless of compulsive pornography use or moral incongruence, however, porn addiction remains too heavily debated to be considered a legitimate reason not to at least try porn. (And if you are still concerned and have a trusted therapist or doctor to discuss your concerns with, talking to them first may help you make the choice as well —just remember this opens up the door for their own biases to influence their advice.)
First of all, get excited! Porn is a really hot, fun, and accessible sexual tool that you are allowed to explore with enthusiasm.
When you’re ready to really give porn a try, think about the type of sex you like having, or the type of sex you wish you could have and seek it out. Whether you’re listening to your porn, watching it, or reading it, starting with things that you already know turn you on can make it easy to settle into the fantasy you’re engaging in.
At worst, you’ll find that pornography just doesn’t work for you. At best, however, you’ll open up a world of exploring sexual fantasies and kinks that you may not have found otherwise, taking your pleasure to new heights.
There’s an internet rumor that says caffeine makes orgasms 50% stronger —and the Lioness pride put it to the test during the month of September.
Grab a cup of joe and dive into the data with us!
This month, Sexperimenters were prompted with a simple poll:do you drink caffeine before flicking the bean?And their answers suggest caffeine is not being used as much of an aphrodisiac, with only 16.1% of participants saying they consume it often before masturbating.
Lioness users were given three choices for this hypothesis: Get Better, Stay the Same, or Get Worse.
Here’s how they voted, with only 34% predicting their O’s would get better:
The results of this Sexperiment are pretty fun because “better” is truly in the eye of the beholder with these ones.
While Lioness users rated their caffeine orgasms at 3.6 stars out of 5, the time to orgasm dropped significantly! Average latency during baseline sessions was 5 minutes 44 seconds, whereas average latency during caffeinated masturbation was 2 minutes 45 seconds!
This Sexperiment also gave the following results:
If you’re looking to get in, get off, and get out of your masturbation sessions quickly, caffeine seems to be a good way to do it. If staying a while and taking your time are your thing, however, skip the caffeine.
Ready to join Sexperiments? Get your Lioness and join us in October when we’ll be blindfolding ourselves for science. Will removing sight improve our orgasms? We’re determined to find out.
