It’s a tough job but someone has to do it — Tim Larson, our founder/co-CEO/lead product tester visited CES (Consumer Electronics Show) 2024 and is reporting back on some of the latest innovations in pleasure tech. We’re very pleased to see that adult toy companies are getting the recognition that they deserve; the developers and engineers in this industry are frequently on the cutting edge and it’s only right that they should exhibit alongside their peers.
Sex Toys and CES
In the early years of CES, sex toys were rarely recognized and often overlooked. This is likely because there was no dedicated category for pleasure tech, so they were usually exhibited in categories that weren’t a great fit. OhMiBod, a company that produces remote- and app-controlled toys, was the first to show at CES in 2011 but they were lumped in with “accessories.”
In 2018, the company Lora DiCarlo won a CES Innovation award for a robotic vibrator. There were significantly mixed reactions to this, and CES organizers revoked the award, using the words “immoral, indecent, or profane.” They then revoked the revocation, and by 2020, sex tech had its own place in the health and wellness category.
This is entirely appropriate because pleasure tech belongs at a tech conference, and sex toys are a part of health, wellness, and self-care. We are glad to be able to report on what’s new in this world, and there is quite a lot that is new.
Adult companies are creating products that are both smarter and easier to use. AI and machine learning have impacted every industry, including pleasure tech. Modern sex toys are learning what we like in order to please us better! They are also becoming much better at emulating real-life experiences. Some are even able to sync with VR (virtual reality) adult content. Others, like the new Womanizer Next, have gotten really close to replicating realistic touch sensations.
Tech is not the only thing that’s growing up. Sex toys are entering the mainstream (thank you, Gen Z) and becoming recognized as a normal, healthy part of normal, healthy people’s lives. Pleasure tech is part of self-care for lots of folks and it’s finally being treated as such.

CES 2024!
We are excited about what we saw here and even more excited about what’s coming next (besides us, of course, and we hope you as well). It was difficult to pick our favorites because pleasure tech keeps getting bigger, better, and smarter every year. However, our top three choices from the show are as follows:
MYHIXEL’s Orgasm Trainer
This is MYHIXEL’s fourth trip to CES with their Orgasm Trainer. They’re a Spanish startup. We’re impressed with this device and excited to see more from them. The Orgasm Trainer is intended for people with penises who want to learn how to delay their orgasms and increase their stamina.
This is a large device; it’s larger than Fleshlight’s Stamina Training Unit, which is pretty sizable itself. For those who live in small or shared spaces, this is something to consider. However, the trainer is lightweight and the case is ergonomically designed, so it is easy to hold and feels good in the hand. The interior sleeve feels lifelike, especially when paired with the warming cover.
But the best thing about this device, and what got it to CES, is the app. It features an eight-week gamified training program backed by scientific research and clinical trials. The app also uses AI/machine learning for a completely customized experience. It’s the most fun homework you’ll ever do, and you (and your partner) will appreciate the results.
Svakom’s Interactive CONNEXION Line
We always look forward to seeing what Svakom has to offer, and their booth at this show was no exception. Their new CONNEXION masturbators for people with penises are packed with interactive features. The Hannes Neo and the Phoenix Neo 2 are two in this line. Similar to the (higher-priced) AutoBlow AI Ultra and Lovense Solace Pro, the CONNEXION toys can sync to adult content. This is a subscription-based feature, however, so the lower purchase price may be offset over time.
The toys are also well-suited to long-distance lovers, since they support webcam and chat features. We also appreciate Svakom’s commitment to your privacy. Their app is seriously locked down with encrypted keys for the remote play features. You can feel confident that your private life will remain private even with the high level of connectivity that these toys offer.
Ohdoki’s “Oh!” Vibrator
The Handy stroker from these folks is one of our favorite masturbators, so we were excited to see what else they had in their booth. We like that this company manufactures all their products in Norway to maintain a tight grip on quality control, and they believe (as we do) in normalizing sex toys as part of healthy adult life.
The Oh! vibrator is for people with vulvas. Its appearance is deceptively understated, sleek, and classy. This sex toy features ResoTouch technology that stimulates through sound waves, with a voice coil motor that uses real-time audio signal processing. There is a wide range of pre-programmed patterns ranging from gentle through extremely intense, and users are able to completely customize their experience. Because this toy uses sound waves instead of mechanical vibration, it’s easier on the hands, especially for long sessions. It’s also very quiet and small, which makes it discreet.
It is also interactive, which means that you can sync to adult content or your favorite music for a completely immersive experience. It will also sync to other Ohdoki products, like the Handy, so you can share an intimate experience with a partner whether they are in bed with you or across an ocean.
Wrapping Things Up
We loved seeing all the pleasure tech at CES 2024, both because, well, we really like sex toys, but also because seeing sex toys taking their rightful place at a major mainstream event feels like an affirmation of everything we’ve been working for. We’re looking forward to 2025 and beyond!
Happy vibing!
