Sex Toys News

The Mojowijo is the very latest in sex toy technology. Billed as the toy that has transformed cybersex, the Mojowijo vibrator can be connected wirelessly to a laptop and controlled remotely, meaning that those forced to say goodnight via Skype could now see their late night calls suddenly spiced up.

The Mojowijo is a sex toy of two parts - one, a traditionally shaped pink vibrator for the ladies, the other, a blue ring-shaped device. Both attachments are fitted to a handle that can be attached to the accessory port on a Nintendo Wii remote control.

Using Motion2Vibration technology, the device is able to transform the movements performed by each user into vibration signals and send them to another selected device, either in the same room or over the internet.

Couples simply dial into each other's laptops using Skype, and the presence of both Mojowijos is picked up. Using the motion of their own remotes, the users can then play with the settings on their partner's vibrator, upping the frequency or taking it down as required. So the more one partner moves their wand, the more the other partner's will vibrate.

Soft, crescent-shaped and Barney-purple, the We-Vibe could pass for an air freshener in its unremarkable plastic package. It's not what most people imagine when they think of a sex toy. Launched four years ago by an Ottawa husband-and-wife team, it's a vibrator for couples that stimulates both partners at once, and outsells its competitors by three to one.

Now in its third generation, the We-Vibe has become the most successful branded sex toy since the Rotating Rabbit gained fame on Sex and the City.

Ex--Nortel Networks engineer Bruce Murison came up with the idea for the device. His wife, Melody, was the one with the marketing brainwave. The Murison's company, Standard Innovation, set out to become a cornerstone of the domesticated, wellness-oriented side of the sex industry.

Standard Innovation now has 25 full-time employees and have been working on new features like waterproofing and a remote control version.

The We-Vibe has always been made from medical-grade silicone, challenging the idea that sex toys are by definition cheap. At $150, the We-Vibe has also found a new market as an affordable luxury for middleclass couples often intimidated by sex shops.

The future of sex tourism lies in robot prostitutes, two Victoria University researchers have theorised.

Management professor Ian Yeoman, a futurist with an interest in tourism, and sexologist Michelle Mars have looked to how red light districts might operate in the year 2050.

The futuristic scenario of sex tourism suggests android prostitutes will reign supreme, eliminating the risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections in an industry free from sex slavery.

Their paper: Robots, Men And Sex Tourism, published in the journal Futures, imagines a sex club in Amsterdam named Yub-Yum.

Sexual tourists will pay about 10,000 Euro for an all-inclusive service from massages and lap dances to intercourse from the scantily-clad sexbots parading around.

The androids would be made of bacteria resistant fibre and would be flushed for human fluids, therefore guaranteeing no STIs are transferred between consumers.

Clients could feel guilt free as they actually have not had sex with a real person and would not have to lie to their partner. [Maybe a little bit of a simplistic view].
