Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. To help celebrate, at this month’s Tech Talk, we discussed disability, sexuality, toys and apps with long-time United Spinal friend and sexuality educator and coach Dr. Mitchell Tepper.
Dr. Tepper shared a lot of great insights about how sex tech and AI help to enhance intimacy and empowerment for individuals with spinal cord injuries, disorders and all wheelchair users. Significant advances in technology have revolutionized the way people can find and experience sexual pleasure, with a wide range of toys and accessories becoming more accessible. These accessibility features include ergonomic handles or grips, larger buttons or controls, and adaptive attachments.
As technology advances, we continue to witness the expansion of exploration and pleasure when we combine technology with VR and AI. The sex tech industry is expanding and seeking to provide not just sensations (like a vibrator, for example) but also emotional relationships.
Here are 10 of the latest developments in Sex Tech and AI that Dr. Tepper shared with the group:
- character.ai is an app that lets you create a character you can interact with as if they are real.
- FEELME is a technology that gives men the illusion of physically interacting with adult content.
- We-Vibe Pivot is a super flexible penis vibrator ring made of silky, waterproof silicone. Fitting snugly between partners, it allows the experience of shared vibrations.
- The Pulse Solo Interactive is a vibrating penis toy with interactive video content connections controlled by a mobile phone app.
- Made for women, the Digit is a finger vibrator with five power settings.
- The Doxy Wand Massager comes in many colors and a few sizes. It is available as a plug-in and a rechargeable.
- Silc Arts offers toys with ergonomic handles. For those who require a better grip, the company also offers Loop Handles.
- Smartee provides easy-reach vibrators and dildos that are especially helpful for people with short arms or big bellies.
- Frisky Bondage Tape only sticks to itself. It may be useful in gripping sex toys or positioning your body.
- OhMiBod is an app-controlled G-spot locater. It is now Bluetooth enabled.
