Sex Toy Hackers?

Two years ago this UK-based report was published revealing the “Risks and Psychological Harms Presented by Consumer IoT Products.” One of those products was sex toys. The research gave examples where hackers managed to infiltrate certain chastity devices ‘locking wears in,’ beyond just what their partner was teasing them with.

Talk about holding somebody for ransom!

Given what we all could encounter in anal beads, clit ticklers, or even a cock ring we might take to wrap around ourselves, or our lover, here are the 5 Best Rules For Assuring Sex Toy Safety In The Modern Age.

1. Body-safe materials

In our modern times, sex toy purchasers and players don’t have to worry too much about what a toy is made of. Almost all are constructed from hypoallergenic materials and are Phthalate-Free. But it’s always good advice to make sure when reading all about the toy you are about to buy/use that it is made of the latest, body-safe stuff or that whatever it is made of is not something you are allergic to (latex comes to mind in this case).

These days, there is even a wide variety of glass dildos and acrylic paddles on the market. Adult toys made of these materials are oh so easily cleaned and because they aren’t porous generally stay free of nasty little germs (and glass can be heated and cooled… wow!)

2. Take advantage of modern power

These days lots of powered adult toys are powered simply by plugging into a USB port. There are even advances coming for weightless batteries to be used in adult toys, making their power sources even easier to deal with. And the motors in our modern-day naughty playthings charge to ever more long-lasting life, so you can keep your vibrator humming for as long as you need it to.

3. Buy from a reputable seller

With so many sex toy manufacturers and retailers online and just as many reviews about them, you really can’t miss who is making what well…and who isn’t. Always choose from a line with a good reputation or that has been in business for decades.

4. Careful with how you're connecting

The above UK report noted that hackers infiltrated remote controlled sex toys via some of those toy’s Bluetooth Apps. Be careful to only use encrypted connections and never share information like passwords or anything else with anyone you don’t play or have sex with.

5. Clean, clean…and clean some more

Be it from two decades ago, or just now, cleaning your sex toy, by whatever means the toy’s manufacturer suggests (and you will almost always find instructions for this in any toy you buy) is tantamount to keeping your toy in healthy working order. In turn, this will keep your naughty bits healthy and in working order.

What a wonderful modern age we live in, where anybody can get off in any which way they like, with a whole host of wonderful little gadgets and gizmos. And applying just a few safety rules and some common sense you and yours can stay sex healthy for many years to come.

  • TENGA ARTE WEAVE

    One of the mini masturbators in the Tenga Arte line, the company’s WEAVE male jerker offer is fluffy and stretchy, perfect for encasing one’s erection and delivering all the extra stimulation for getting the job done. A thick cap-of-sleeve (bigger guys are only going to get so much of themselves into this thing) the chunky thick texture of the Weave offers whatever you want by fitting comfortably around your dick and offering as tight or as loose a tug as you manage with how tightly you squeeze. The Weave offers a more luxurious knitted pattern sensation than the other TENGA ARTE toys. It features a clear outer tube and inside sensation nubs rendered in what the company calls dual overlapping layers of "elastomer." Easy to clean by turning the Weave inside out and washing it, TENGA packages the thing with a unique and completely hygienic drying stand. If one is looking to add just that extra little bit of magic to one's solo tickling and doesn't like motorized vibes or big bad Fleshlights, this little TENGA wonder is for you.

  • DYSO Impulsion Review: Quite the Machine for Quite the Session

    DYSO calls their Impulsion a “next-generation sex toy.” It features a 360-degree rotation, nine vibration modes, and eight rotating, all using body-safe materials and cutting-edge tech. But this jerk-off machine, resembling the handle-end of a lightsaber, is a heavy-duty (and heavy to hold) masturbatory sleeve set in a case. With an hour-and-thirty-minute charging time (and the charge lasting almost as long), this sex toy will give you exactly what you want. It's extremely customizable as you can adjust the experience, for however long you last. Certainly priced on the high-end of things, but still not so sky-high as some other motorized masturbators are. One needs to remember that in the end, this toy from DYSO is providing a squishy masturbatory sleeve inside a heavy case that is turned, twisted, and powered by a motor. If this is the kind of thing you’re into, DYSO delivers cock-rumbling fun with the Impulsion.
