This upcoming year's inclusion of sex toys is on a one-year trial basis, and sextech products will be part of the Health & Wellness category. The CTA made clear that products must be innovative and include new or emerging tech to qualify. In other words, a standard vibrating dildo won't suffice for the trade group, neither will an overpriced, run-of-the-mill sex doll . They're hoping to be wowed by new sextech revolutionizing the industry.
While we may not be on the board deciding who gets to exhibit their emerging products, here's a list of six sex toy companies (and their inventions) we'd like to see prominently displayed at 2020 CES, set to run January 7-10, in Las Vegas.
1. Camasutra Industries
Camasutra is a 3-d porn sex company that is supposedly " unparalleled in realism ." Using hundreds of cameras, Camasutra records porn stars in various positions, doing all the sexual things. When viewers reach out, they can touch them, meaning the avatars image projected on the VR headset will respond or move.
Camasutra Industries is also working with a teledildonics company to sync sex toys with the avatar movement in real time. Meaning if the avatar is moving up on down, that will be felt in the masturbator sleeve. Or when she stops to take a break from fellatio, you'll also notice that whatever blowjob machine you're using will have paused too.
2. The Motorbunny BUCK
Remember that time you got drunk at your friend's bachelor party and rode the mechanical bull at Saddle Ranch?
Probably not, since you likely had more than a few beverages, but lucky for you, there's an opportunity for you (or your vagina-owning partner) to try again. The Motorbunny BUCK is the world's first and only hybrid saddle vibrator and thruster machine.
Unlike the original Motorbunny, the BUCK replaces the "twirl" function with two separate thrusting motions targeting parts of the vagina (or anus) that no other saddle machine could touch.
3. The Autoblow AI
Set to be released "late summer," the Autoblow AI differs from it's predecessor, the Autoblow 2+XT, in a few different ways.
First, the Autoblow AI will have a total of 10 different types of blowjobs with changeable speeds. Second, it will have a final mode that utilizes machine learning to never give the same blowjob twice. That's something we haven't yet seen in a sex toy to date. If your device only goes up and down the same exact way every time you use it, you're going to grow bored of it sooner rather than later, Autoblow creator Brian Sloan previously told Men's Health .
Third, theres also an organic way to edge using the Autoblow AI. We have three modes and those modes have different levels of no activity during the blow job. It helps to prolong the experience, Sloan said.
4. Giddy
There hasn't been a new form of erectile dysfunction treatment in over 20 years, until now. Giddy recently released its wearable ED "cock ring" (although that really doesn't do the product justice). The Giddy is an FDA-registered Class II medical device you wear around your penis.
Unlike other ED prescriptions, there are no weird side effects, nothing gets ingested, and it doesn't require injections (like Trimex). Best part is, no prescription required!
5. Brazzers' ASMRotica
The porn giant recently partnered with the infamous NYC sex club New Society For Wellness ( NSFW ) to premiere the first "audiorgasmic" theatre experience, ASMRotica . Reading erotica inspired by their most famous scenes, adult stars Lisa Ann, Abella Danger, Brigette B, and Abigail Mac whispered sweet somethings into a binaural microphone producing an autonomous sensory meridian response, which stimulates listeners without touch.
6. OhNut
When we asked Bryony Cole, CEO of The Future of Sex , a company that works to promote real world sexual connections in a non-pornographic manner, about which products she'd like to see featured at 2020 CES, she said, "OhNut, which addresses the issue of painful sex, which 75% of women report suffering from, with stackable set of silicone rings to control depth of penetration."
Like many sexual wellness companies addressing female sexuality, OhNut successfully raised its first funds via a crowdfunding campaign, validating its market and solidifying a fanbase.
The opening of tech-based sexual products at CES is massive for the industry of intimacy and desire. It's going to spark a new generation of adult products and will make the category more accepted among other technology shows. It's going to be a brave new world of orgasm-inducing toys along with innovations that address sexual discomfort, health prevention, disability, and assault.
Soon, hopefully, we'll be able to live in a world where the Hitachi Magic Wand is finally marketed as something other than a back massager.
