Why is sextech also a geek
Sex toys are also technological products. Whether it is environmental protection, artificial robots or technological innovation, they are no different from other industries.
In recent years, sextech has become one of the most innovative industries not only in bedroom beds, but also at many large technology exhibitions.
But many people do not realize this because of the influence of traditional prejudice, and look at the sex industry with colored glasses.
" Geek" covers a wide range of pop culture and new technologies, and is all-encompassing, from the Internet, the Internet of Things, space exploration and pioneering technology, to fans of role-playing games and cool movies. Sociologist David Perron said in his book "Cultural Geek" that the term "geek" was originally a slightly derogatory meaning, meaning obsession, indulging in a field, and later "geek" soon became the label of "extreme culture", encompassing (almost) everything.
Sex toys VS smartphones are not as different as imagined. In the era when almost everyone in the world owns a mobile phone, smartphones are no longer the label of "geeks". On the contrary, sextech involves many cutting-edge fields. Such as AI artificial intelligence, robotics, virtual reality.
Sex toys are more and more similar to smartphones and other wearables, and vibrators with designs resembling luxury goods have come straight from the FIAC exhibit.
Sex toys have already changed the figurative phallus-shaped design, and the aesthetics have gradually turned to sleek and streamlined shapes with a sense of technology.
It’s hard to tell F1S V2 male fleshlight cup from the smart speaker from the appearance . The famous Swedish sex brand design director worked for Sony Ericsson, this is not a sole case. The founder of China's "x Monster" brand graduated from Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts and worked in a well-known IT company for design work.
The semantics of eroticism has gradually shifted from eroticism to design and technological innovation, tearing off vulgar labels, helping to make it easier for the public to accept, and attracting many young users, such as college students.
In recent years, many erotic brands have won the prestigious Red Dot Design Award and have become an important industry applying the latest technology. Of course, they also face the same problems in other technology industries. Whether battery-powered or rechargeable, sex toys are energy-intensive, and solutions must be found to minimise their impact on the environment. For example, regarding the recycling of batteries and circuit boards, to avoid the used vibrator being thrown into the landfill, there is a French sex brand that provides recycling services for used products.
There are of course some technological attempts, solar vibrators, and several Blush products are made from bioplastics (which are biodegradable under industrial conditions), have replaceable batteries, and are fully recyclable. The Oohcean brand has launched a vibrator designed from plastic waste recycled from the beach.
Of course, like the smartphone industry, some netizens commented that the environmental protection initiative of sex brands is "greenwashing", but it is better to have specific attempts than to do nothing at all.
In recent years, Boston Dynamics robots have attracted the attention of the world, and there are also robotic applications in the field of sexual technology. The Lora DiCarlo brand has always been known for its biomimicry, a branch of robotics based on imitating living things. Lora DiCarlo won the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) Innovation Award in 2019. There are also Real Doll's sex dolls that use materials that are extremely close to the human body and are enhanced by AI, which is no different from the robotics of other high-tech companies.
Now sex toys can be directly connected to the Internet, music on demand, and erotic magazines. Recently, the decentralized metaverse has become a technology hotspot, and several sex brands have already tried it.
