CES 2025 has come and gone, setting the tone for what tech advancements we can expect for the rest of the year. A slew of desktops and laptops are coming around the corner with all the new chips from AMD, Intel, Nvidia, and Qualcomm. And for better or worse, AI continues to mature and integrate into almost every piece of technology. Plus, so much smart home, camera, and audio innovation is on the horizon. Health tech, AR, MR, and VR continue to make steady progress, too.
Speaking of health tech, there’s a subsection that’s been overlooked for a while, and it’s slowly but surely taking a more prominent place in the spotlight—sex tech. Yes, the sex toys designed to tease, titillate, and ultimately achieve the big O. And as the stigma around sex tech continues to wane, we see more innovation in the space, including more interactive play, improved teledildonics, and proprietary new ways of vibration.
Ohdoki’s The Handy
Sure, the name is very tongue-in-cheek, but it doesn’t negate that The Handy from Ohdoki, an automatic interactive stroker, is an impressive device. A sex toy designed for penis owners, the Handy is a brushless motor with a swappable silicone sleeve attachment. Ohdoki even offers a metal arm attachment for a completely hands-free experience. In action, the motor can be set by speed and stroke length, which comes in handy (no pun intended) in case you want to focus on certain areas of the penis. The free companion app allows for long-distance couple’s play, provided both ends have a strong Wi-Fi connection. However, where The Handy truly shines is its wealth of interactive content. There are currently 30,000 pieces of content that consist of traditional adult content, VR apps, and movies that Handy owners can use. And with an open API, the library is continuously growing. And if you want to spice up the feeling, OhDoki has 11 different sleeves to choose from, or you can strap third-party sleeves on for highly customizable, interactive fun.
Ohdoki’s The Oh!
Never let it be said that Ohdoki only thinks about folks with penises. The Scandinavian company also has something for people with vaginas called The Oh!. (Seriously, I’m loving these names!) The Oh! is a “smart sex toy” that uses sound waves instead of haptic or traditional vibration motors. Using the company’s ResoTouch technology, the device utilizes a voice coil motor that uses real-time audio signal processing to control the motor’s vibrations. Like most toys of its ilk, The Oh! can be used for solo or couple play and offline or online play via the free companion app. Speaking of sound, you can also use Spotify and other audio and video content to create a different experience as the device synchronizes to the beat. And if you want to engage in some couple play, you can pair two Ohs! or bring a Handy into the mix whether you’re in the same room or thousands of miles away. However, my favorite part of The Oh! is its design, as it has a premium minimalist look that doesn’t scream, “Look, I’m a sex toy!”
Lovense Mission 2
I own a few Lovense toys. I look forward to upgrading to the upcoming Lush 4 when it debuts later this year. But now that I’ve seen the Mission 2, I wouldn’t mind adding it to my ever-expanding collection. The Mission 2 is a suction cup vibrating dildo designed for G-Spot stimulation that tops out at 6,500 vibrations per minute. You can stick it to just about any hard surface and use it at will. And thanks to its connector, you can position the toy at a 180-degree angle to hit just the right spots. Don’t want to stick to a wall, floor, or chair? That’s cool; use it old-school and keep everything well in hand. But Mission 2 really caught my attention when I learned about its Touch Sense technology, which generates stronger vibrations the deeper the Mission 2 is inserted. To understand how this works, Lovense has Flappy Jumpy, an exclusive game based on Flappy Bird, where you have to keep the character in the air via your thrusts. But where Lovense has always shined is its teledildonic capabilities. The Mission 2 can be used in tandem with recently launched Solace Pro, a sex toy for penises. But that’s not all, as Mission 2 also plays nice with the nipple-centric Gemini or the Gush, a penis ring. Whatever you pair Mission 2 with will respond in real-time stroke for stroke.
Lovesense Solace Pro
I mentioned the Solace Pro in the previous entry. Lovense describes it as an AI-powered oral sex machine. When I saw it at the show, the device used a more neutral SFW (well as safe for work as an oral sex machine can be) sleeve. However, Lovense offers sleeves that simulate more realistic orifices. The Solace Pro offers precision at up to 300 strokes per minute. That stroking action is necessary to sync up with all the compatible VR and traditional adult content. It can also synchronize with music. One of my favorite things about Lovense products is the voice sync action in the free companion app. That means that your partner can stimulate your voice. Think of it as a 21st-century love letter. The toy also has an adjustable desk mount that allows users to adjust the device at a 180-degree angle. However, as feature-rich as the Solace Pro is, the best thing about the Solace Pro, in my opinion, is its ability to pair with other Lovense products. I recently learned that you can daisy chain up to 100 products simultaneously, which is one hell of a party.
Motorbunny PlayMate Fluffer Haptic Relay Plug-in
I’ve been a gamer since I was a wee little girl. But in almost 45 years, I’ve never played a game like this, but I’m eager to try. Motorbunny, maker of straddle-style sex machines, has found a way to make some of your favorite video games a little XXX-rated. Say hello to the Motorbunny PlayMate Fluffer Haptic Relay Plug-in. It’s a USB-C dongle reminiscent of the Nintendo 64’s rumble pack. And it kind of works in the same way. Plug the Fluffer into a PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, or Xbox Series X/S (or any USB-C controller), and it takes info from the accelerometer and haptic information and relays it to up to six Bluetooth-connected Motorbunny devices, including the company’s collection of sex machines. If you’ve ever wanted one of your favorite video games to take your sex level to the next level, the Motorbunny PlayMate Fluffer is the way to go.
