(Although I don't know if the "going back to basics" movement should apply… » 2/22/14 4:22pm 2/22/14 4:22pm

Ever seen a blog post about a weird sex toy designed to simulate the feeling of a vagina and thought, what kind of a lonely fuck would use one of those? The same chairsniffers who buy used women's underwear off ebay? I mean, probably. But also: Male journo-bloggers who are doing it "as a joke." » 1/14/14 6:40pm 1/14/14 6:40pm

According to a hilarious blind item on Radar yesterday, Jay Z and Beyoncé recently visited the New York sex shop Babeland so they could spend $6,000 on sex toys, which should make us all wonder: Did they buy a few really fancy sex toys, or did they buy a whole bunch of cheap sex toys to give away as ironic gifts? How… » 12/28/13 6:30pm 12/28/13 6:30pm

There’s a new racket in Vegas, the city where there just aren’t enough bad decision to be made. Sex toy races, whereby four battery-powered dildos crawl across a tabletop at a speed so slow that participants can feel themselves traveling backwards in time to the moment they decided they’d have a lark and put money… » 5/03/13 10:00am 5/03/13 10:00am

As an April Fools prank, high-class sex toy company Lelo tweeted that they'd soon be distributing an eco-friendly vibrator made of recycled wood pulp and old tires. Foolishly, the fool public believed them. Fools! And not only did the fool public believe them, they were falling over their Toms to shove Mother Earth's… » 4/25/13 11:10am 4/25/13 11:10am

A Spanish anarchist that sometimes goes by the super-catchy name Anticlerical Pro Sex Toys Group says it sent explosive devices hidden within boxes of vibrators to prominent ultra-conservative Catholics in Spain, because nothing screams SUSPICIOUS when you’re an abstemious cleric than receiving a shipment of sex toys.… » 4/21/13 3:00pm 4/21/13 3:00pm

From San Francisco, the sex and technology capital of the United States, which I can say because I live here and I am the apex of both sex and technology, comes a combo vibrator/flash drive that will both get you off and hold an entire season of Arrested Development! Technology, you're the greatest. » 12/20/12 9:15pm 12/20/12 9:15pm

If Brookstone was one of the many of catalogs crowding your inbox this holiday season, you might have noticed that among the pages selling electronic wine openers, heated slippers, and remote control toy helicopters, the gadget chain's infamous selection of "personal massagers" has expanded to include a large selection… » 12/11/12 5:10pm 12/11/12 5:10pm

Thanks to a Scanlime post from entitled "Hacking My Vagina", there are now detailed instructions on how to reverse engineer a remote control vibrator so that its remote interface can be supplanted by an "Arduino-based sonar controller" that a user can activate with any part of her body.

Sometimes it's easy to forget how far mainstream American culture has come since the Puritans landed on the blasted, infertile rock we now call "Massachusetts." For instance, nowadays, we can all speak frankly about...doing it without getting a case of the giggles. We are free to objectify the human body (mostly the… » 11/11/12 4:00pm 11/11/12 4:00pm

Vibease, a long distance massager that can be controlled by iPhone/Android, allows you to "stay intimate with your partner even when both of you are not physically together!"

Yesterday, New Yorkers lined up to get lucky. Trojan — a company best known for condoms — was doing a giveaway; pushcarts were set up and free vibrators were being distributed. Unfortunately,
the sexy promotion drew big crowds, and the endeavor was shut down by City Hall. The good news? The punny writers at the New… » 8/09/12 1:00pm 8/09/12 1:00pm
