Sex tech creators, entrepreneurs, and researchers are pushing sex tech forward – the sources of their inspiration are as diverse as the creators themselves.

The Lovense Calor is the newest stroker for penises, which can connect with other toys and interactive content, as well as providing warming and depth-control.

Lovense and 3DXChat have announced a partnership that brings the device maker's interactive toy capabilities to the Windows-based 3D virtual sex game.

Sextech hacking refers to the modification of existing sex toys, and, with ever-increasing open-access resources out there, it's more accessible than ever.

While there are some worthwhile futuristic experiences available to anyone today, there are still a few problems common to many smart sex toys.

A sex toy manufacturer has claimed to be the first to provide a calorie counting function on its apps, but it's not a claim it should be proud of.

The OhMiBod Esca2 is a collaboration that brings interactivity powered by Kiiroo to this egg-shaped device. But is it worth the $119 RRP? Find out here.

Kiiroo's Cliona vibrator isn't particularly gendered in packaging or design. Strong vibrations, and simple controls make it a potentially great first vibrator.

Kiiroo's Esca2, the follow up to its original Esca, brings additional features for users, and a battery life that lasts up to six times longer than the first.

OhMiBod's new app uses biofeedback to control connected Bluetooth-enabled personal massagers and vibrators.

The Kiiroo Titan is a relatively small, lightweight teledildonic device that can be used on its own, in manual mode, automatically, or with synced interactive porn content. At $149 retail, is it worth your cash though?

In 1998 – before Google, Facebook, or before any of the internet giants became giants – a patent was filed in the US by a company called HasSex that covered “a method and device for interactive virtual control of sexual aids”. That patent has now expired, but there could be more trouble ahead.
