Vibrators have come a long way from their historic counterparts. The vibrator, as you may know, was invented by a doctor in the late 1800s who needed a break from using his hands to manually induce “hysterical paroxysms.” Yes, that’s right – women suffering from “hysteria,” a mysterious diagnosis that lumped in such symptoms as “gregariousness,” “sexual desire,” and “emotionality” to indicate that almost any existence for women outside of traditional stereotypical characteristics was pathological.
Greek medics coined the term “hysteria” as they believed a wandering uterus was the source of these feminine complaints. European doctors in the 18th century believed that pelvic massage could induce a “paroxysm” causing the uterus to snap back into place and providing temporary relief to the woman from her symptoms.
This is quite laughable today, of course, however back then, the idea of women experiencing sexual pleasure through any route outside of direct intercourse was implausible. Women lined up at the doctor’s office every few weeks to get their medicine. Dr. Joseph Granville came up with a steam-powered vibrating sphere, which later evolved into a handheld device sold in Sears Roebuck catalogs so women could cure their symptoms at home on their own.
Between then and now, most vibrators have not altered much from the classic wand design made ultra-popular in the 1960s. Bullet-shaped vibrators and palm-shaped stimulators rose in popularity, but aside from updates to the power source and variety of functions, little had been done to upgrade the most popular sex toys in the world. However, recently innovative companies have combined technology and pleasure to update classic shapes that have proved to be tried and true orgasm enhancers.
Using Bluetooth technology and smartphone APIs, many toy companies have worked with software developers and engineers to take pleasure one step further. Today, you and your partner can take your pleasure into your own hands, from anywhere in the world. “Teledildonics” have been in the works for many decades, but only in the last few years have companies succeeded in creating toys that can be easily accessed safely from anywhere in the world.
Why would one need to control their vibrator with an app?
Well, the possibilities are truly endless. The app provides discretion and allows you to entertain each other while you’re in public. Imagine the excitement of using an app-controlled sex toy when you’re on a dinner date. Over candlelight at your favorite restaurant, the waiter may think your date is being rude if they’re on your phone, but you’ll know the truth! They can use smartphone apps to give you a gentle buzz – enjoy cellular intercourse while you make your way through the main course.
Or perhaps you enjoy using a toy while you’re on an airplane. Although most toys are rather quiet, the drone of the engine will surely drown out any noise, as well as muffle your moans. Give the mile-high club new meaning, and avoid those icky, tiny restrooms. Avoid the risk of seeing a boring movie by bringing your remote control toy – or sneak it in to a smutty film theater for a bit of an exhibitionist thrill!
App-controlled toys are also absolutely revolutionary for those in long-distance relationships. Success rates of LDRs are skyrocketing with the help of technology. Increased communication and visibility capabilities are mostly to thank, and we certainly think that the latest technological sex toys are included in that category!
You no longer have to wait weeks, months, or even longer to indulge your fantasies with your far-flung lover. It’s easier than ever to stay- and feel- in-touch with the help of technology. Integrate your digitally operated sex toys into your normal keeping in touch routines. You can video chat and allow your lover to indulge their voyeuristic fantasies while they order you to use a toy exactly where they long to touch you.
You can use the app during phone sex to enhance sensation and imagine your lover caressing you all over. You can wear a vibrating panty during your everyday routines while your lover sends you a love-buzz every hour or so to let you know they’re thinking of you, and that they can’t wait to see you again and strip you down and run their hands all over you.
You can even use synchronizing toys to feel each other’s strokes in real time! New technology sex toys are truly changing the game and allowing long-distance partners to truly stay connected.
Whether or not you’re super-savvy when it comes to technology, you don’t have to be an IT professional to get these apps up and running. If you’re still a bit intimidated, let us break down our top five favorite high-tech toys and how they work.
