"A Series Of Controversial Dildonics": Think Globally, Fap Locally

San Francisco's annual Arse Elektronika events sees the sexiest of the geeky (or the geekiest of the sexy) trying to outnerd each other with fabulous sexual inventions that are impractical, implausible, and exactly what you want for Christmas. It's also a great way for tinkerers of this sort to experiment with new and wacky ideas. Like, say, a vibrator that's hooked up to the U.S. Geological Survey and only buzzes when there's an earthquake somewhere in the world: you just plug it in, turn it on, and ... wait for a completely unpredictable natural disaster! Only trouble is that when your own "Big One" finally arrives, it's tempered by the realization that a building might have collapsed somewhere with people trapped inside. Talk about a buzzkill.

Getting An Inside Look With The EyeDildo

Desperate to show the world an up close and personal home movie, but a little too lazy and/or technologically disinclined to build your own dildo cam? Get your hands on the EyeDildo, a pretty little toy with a built in camera and cables to connect to your TV so you can see the action in real time! And if you're curious to see how it works without having to find your own test subject, these two lovely ladies are more than happy to demonstrate. (Why you'd be that turned on by extreme cervical closeups is another matter entirely. But hey, to each his/her own!)

If you're still prodding yourself with a giant robo-licker kicking yourself for missing San Francisco's Arse Elektronika conference last year, not to worry: there's a new call for papers for this year's installment. We hear the theme this year is "Do Androids Sleep With Electric Sheep?", though frankly we think the answer is fairly obvious. (monochrom.at, via slashdong.org; thumbnail via VSC)

Scientists have developed a new computer system that can create 3D images that you "feel" with a special glove. Yes, the virtual handjob is within our grasp. (Come on, we were all thinking it.) (newscientisttech.com, via prometheus6.org)

Sex Toy TechWatch: Introducing Twitterdildonics

In case merely looking at sexy furniture pics was leaving you a bit frustrated, you might be interested in this interview starring Fleshbot Gal Friday Violet Blue (we're not sure which version), who went booty-to-booty with Slashdong's qDot at SXSW in Austin last week to unveil his latest teledildonic invention: the Twitterdildonic sofa, which uses a text feed from the already buzzworthy Twitter miniblogging service in conjunction with a software-engineered Rez Trance Vibrator to create the world's "first augmented reality couch". Even though he modestly calls his new tech mashup "completely useless", qDot has supplied the source code for anyone who wants to rig up one of these to replace that old Barcalounger in the living room—though all it takes is one look at Violet's face while she's sitting on the prototype during the interview to convince us that IKEA needs to start mass production on these things immediately. Who knows—it might even make sitting there looking at boring celebrity sex tapes all evening something to actually look forward to! More »

Porn Vegas Dispatch: Virtual Holes and Virtual Sticks

We're always excited about gawking new sex toys and tend get a little drooly about any type of shiny new interactive technology, but sometimes this shit is just plain weird. Segment, Inc's still-in-development (and woefully named) Virtual Hole and Virtual Stick—his and hers, for the loving long-distance couple—fall into this technolust/puzzling category. More »

"A Perfect Fake" on YouTube

We admit that we're a little behind on our Canadian television documentaries (we blame TiVo) which is why we missed out on the airings of "A Perfect Fake," the story of man's attempts to find companionship and orgasms through artificial means. Fortunately, the fine users of YouTube (of course) share with us some of the highlights of this mesmerizing (and occasionally spooky) tale. We go to Japan after the jump for a look at men and their dolls and then introduce you to the Cadillac of "wanking devices." More »

Project Sex Toy 2006

Of the ten submissions chosen as finalists last week in Babeland's Project Sex Toy 2006 competition, we're especially intrigued by the Octopussey: an "eight-armed silicone sex toy that can become whatever you want it to be" that tickles us as much for the endless pervy permutations it promises as for the fact that it reminds us of one of our favorite "Drawn Together" episodes. (Then again, that Duette vibrating pleasure ring looks pretty snazzy as well. Sure beats trying to retrofit one of those old fashioned joy buzzers when we're feeling a little lonely.) More »

Virtual Hottie 2

Although it won't be released until next month, you can take a sneak peak at the next generation of the sex simulation game "Virtual Hottie" via a selection of screencaps and a trailer on its newly launched website. Apparently the new version will include the capability to interact with a mechanical "Virtual Sex Machine" masturbatory device that pleasures you (assuming you have the right anatomical equipment) while playing the game. (Didn't that used to be called "the hand"?) No word yet on any of the customization features we hoped to see when the first iteration of the game was released a while back; guess we'll have to wait until the developers release a trial version before we can hope to see our long-held fantasy of pleasuring a virtual Linda Hunt on a tropical beach become a reality.

"Sex in Video Games" @ SxSW

While the rest of Team Gawker was busy explaining web technology and looking for techie gossip at SxSW in Austin last week, we here at Fleshbot spent our time trying to scare up some tail ... er, of the digital variety, that is. Thanks to the friendly folks at the "Sex in Video Games" panel moderated by Clickable Culture's Tony Walsh, we came away with more interactive sex tips and resources than you can shake a joystick at. After the jump, read our summary of the past and future of in-game sex as discussed by some of the experts in the field, and get sticky via a selection of links to sexy games you can play today.- J.

Ken's Twisted Mind

If you picked up a copy of Timothy Archibald's "Sex Machines" book, you may already know a little bit about Ken's Twisted Mind, an online emporium of all sorts of erotic gizmos from the Anaconda to the VersaCock—but do a little digging around what must be the largest selection of sex machines for sale on the web and you'll find a lot more dirty surprises for your perusal. Not that anyone would probably ever need more than one jigsaw-modified fuck toy or drilldo, mind you ... but we can dare to dream. V. Blue More »

Sex Toy TechWatch: Je Joue Programmable Vibrator

With a price tag of $400, the new Je Joue deluxe programmable vibrating device better deliver on its promise of being "the ultimate in sensual self indulgence" as per the claims of its manufacturer ... and who better to let us know whether it's worth seeting aside the funds from your sex toy budget than the indefatigable qDot of Slashdong, who subjects its accompanying cross-platform "PleasureWare" software suite to close inspection and likes what he sees: "Now that I've actually done a smidge o' homework, I think they may be onto something here. At least, assuming you're female." (Our favorite part? The fact that the phrase "Lazy Sunday" shows up on the display screen in the 3D demo on the website; we assume this refers to the name of one of the "grooves" used to operate the device, but we know there are more than a few potential customers out there with an Andy Samberg fetish for whom that setting will have a particularly special meaning.)

Sex Toy of the Week: The JackHammer

We have to admit that we weren't quite sold either when we saw a prototype of The JackHammer at the AVN Expo last month; despite its manufacturers' claims, it didn't seem terribly sturdy to us, and we were having a hard time imagining how comfortable a pogo stick-mounted dildo would actually be. (Like edible underpants, it's the kind of thing that sounds better as a concept.) Now that they've added a (rather explicit) video demo and some photos of the device in action to their website, however, we're starting to get a better idea of its potential—and even if it's not quite "the best SexToy's experience since the SexToy's invention" as claimed, it's something we'd definitely love to get our hands on one of these days. Not to mention other parts. More »

Alien Dildos

For anyone who's already experienced the dubious thrills of dildos shaped like animal parts or religous icons and is looking for more frontiers to explore—or if you've simply fantasized about what Sigourney Weaver might've experienced had those extraterrestrial shipmates of hers been hungry for something else besides human flesh—this new line of sex toys might be of particular interest. We're especially intrigued (read: terrified) by the "Brutus" buttplug model; as much as we look forward to making contact with alien civilizations someday, this is one space being we hope we don't make contact with anytime soon.

Sex Toy TechWatch

We've got some good news and some bad news this week, but we should be able to keep all you sexy techies happy in the end (so to speak). The bad news: there's a new full frontal assault on browsing porn at work. The good news:the iBuzz, a vibrator for your iPod. All that and more after the jump. More »

Machines and Sex

While it's largely a scholarly work, Sandy Beach's essay on machines and sex has enough illustrations and links to raise your hentai hackles and arouse your inner android-lover. From the earliest tools to the latest in teledildonic technology, she traces the history of machine-induced pleasure from its roots to its possible future. (Personally, I find the use of 1-bit graphics is a huge turn on.)- J. West More »

The Sex Machine Diaries

When imagining where sex machines come from, I envision Frankenstinian lairs with giant Jacob's Ladders buzzing behind rows of imposing glass beakers, staffed by nearly-naked babe-a-licious lab assistants bearing jars of stiff dildos labeled "Abby Normal". But according to photographer Timothy Archibald's new blog, I'm a bit off; while the babes are there in quantity, the situational reality is more like modified Makita drills and spotty cable service. Either way, do peruse the excerpts and photos from his book and travels around the U.S. seeking out sex machine inventors, and yes, it does include naked babes. V. Blue More »

Nintendo Revolution Sex Toy?

Our friends at Slashdong take a long, hard look at the new Nintendo game controller and decide that the buzz (heh) about its potential use as a sex toy all by itself is sort of, well, silly: "I can't for the life of me understand why a boxy vibrating remote triggered this off. I mean, hell, both the current xbox and PS2 controllers have nice, round grips, ergonomically fit for your hands, which means curvy enough to fit other places. But for some reason, people on the internet like shoving right angles in their hoo-haa." Sometimes, a vaguely phallic-shaped electronic device is just a vaguely phallic-shaped electronic device.
