  • Lovehoney Blowmotion vibrating, pulsing, sucking, and warming strokers reviewed: Are they worth it?

    Whether you’re looking to add a bit of extra excitement to solo sessions or spice up foreplay with a partner, male masturbators are an increasingly popular choice for penis-owners who want to bring toys into the bedroom. These strokers are also growing in sophistication, adding additional functions like vibration, suction, and automatic stroking. While companies […]

  • Kiiroo Control review: a clever $49 Bluetooth stroker add-on for interactive and solo play

    The stroker market has come a long way over the last decade, with brands like Kiiroo leading the charge in interactive devices that up the ante when it comes to masturbation. As a brand known for its connected toys that sync across distances, Kiiroo’s latest gadget – the $49 Kiiroo Control – takes things a […]

  • Luxus LuxHer & LuxHim couples’ vibe review: Good ideas, buzzy vibes and gendered marketing all miss the spot

    I had high hopes for Kiiroo’s new Luxus brand. The concept of synchronized toys for couples isn’t new, but when done well, it can genuinely enhance intimacy during penetrative sex. At $149, this isn’t an impulse purchase for many people, so I was curious to see how Luxus would differentiate its take on connected couples’ […]

  • Womanizer Vibe review: Possibly the quietest vibe on the market, but not the best

    High-end woman’s sex toy brand Womanizer is known for its clit sucker an air-pulse stimulation technology. So this product, the Womanizer Vibe, has gone in a new direction. This is Womanizer’s first ‘lay-on vibrator’, which means this toy is good for grinding on hands-free and rubbing on other erogenous areas like nipples, too. It features […]

    Lovense Osci 3 review: A smart blend of oscillation, warmth, and customization

    Long-distance relationships are hard. From missing your person (or people) to finding it hard to connect sexually across the miles, numerous challenges arise from living far away from your partner(s), whether the situation is temporary or permanent. Lovense, a company that has been sitting at the cutting edge of sex tech since it started life […]

    Stay connected: Best remote sex toys and apps for couples apart

    Let’s not sugarcoat it: long-distance relationships are challenging. Although communication has evolved since the days of snail mail, and we can maintain emotional intimacy through messages and phone calls, staying physically connected is really hard — and not in the fun way! My first long-distance relationship suffered due to a lack of intimate technology, but […]

    We-Vibe Wand 2 review: Outstanding intense and rumbly stimulation

    Wands have been around since the 1960s, having undergone various iterations, but ultimately offering the same strong-handled, bulb-headed device, designed for deep-tissue vulva stimulation — though all genitals and erogenous zones can benefit from its deep vibes. It’s been several years since We-Vibe, a company that initially rose to fame for making wearable clitoral vibrators, […]

    MysteryVibe Legato review: Great concept, disappointing experience

    I’ve been working in the sex toy space for a long time. What this means is that I’ve seen every copycat, slight reinvention of the wheel, and thousandth version of a very standard product under the sun. While there are a few external vulva-stimulating toys out there, such as the $135 U Self Love simulator […]

    AI dating apps promised to fix our love lives, but they might be making things worse

    ai dating apps ruining romance
    From AI wingmen to chatbot dating coaches, technology promised to revolutionize how we find love. But as dating apps lean heavily into artificial intelligence, users are discovering that algorithms can’t replace authentic human connection – and many are logging off for good.

    Realdoll, Realbotix, and why the sex robot industry is splitting from companion robots

    Realdoll & Realbotix
    When you’re trying to sell wholesome customer-facing robots to hotel chains, owning the world’s most prominent sex robot brand becomes a problem. That’s why Realbotix is quietly separating its two ventures – even though both promise to cure loneliness.

    Sex robots should be designed to give consent, says law researcher

    sex robot consent
    A Dutch legal researcher is proposing that AI-powered sex robots should be designed with explicit consent features—not because the robots need protection, but to reinforce healthy attitudes about consent in human relationships. The idea could become reality under upcoming EU artificial intelligence regulations.

    Sam Altman says other companies can make ‘anime sex bots,’ OpenAI won’t

    Open AI CEO says the company won't ever make sex robots, but that other AI companies will
    While ChatGPT can discuss almost any topic, OpenAI is drawing a firm boundary around sex robots. CEO Sam Altman has confirmed the company won’t enter this growing market, citing concerns about vulnerable users developing unhealthy attachments to AI companions. It’s a revealing moment that shows how major tech companies are wrestling with the ethical implications of increasingly human-like artificial intelligence – especially as competitors rush to combine chatbot technology with physical robots.

    Meta retrains AI chatbots to prevent ‘sensual’ conversations with children

    meta chatbot retraining
    Meta is training its AI assistant and chatbots to not have inappropriate conversations with children, following the exposure of an internal document showing that the company allowed its AI to engage in “romantic” and “sensual” conversation with minors. A Reuters report showed that these kinds of chatbot conversations were permitted, with an internal Meta document […]
The BIGGEST & the BEST

We’ve been here since 2016(and we’re not going anywhere!)

There are an awful lot of tech news and review sites out there, but SEXTECHGUIDE was the first (and is still the biggest) to look squarely at the intersection of sex and technology. Did we mention we’re totally independent too?

That means you can trust that the extensive effort, research and insight that goes into our work is all aimed at making your life just that little bit easier, not increasing the bottom line.

SEXTECHGUIDE launched in 2016, ahead of the sextech boom, to bridge the gap between sex and technology reporting. Through focusing on timely news stories, mixed with a balance of impartial reviews and thoughtful opinion pieces, SEXTECHGUIDE has led the way for reporting on this nascent technology niche.

As well as on our own site, you’ll see our articles, brand and reporters in many places around the web, through expert interview, article syndication and appearing at industry events.

If you have commercial or advertising enquiries, please get in touch. We do not offer sponsored posts.
