A Brief History of Automated Masturbation
Wed, 09/26/2007 - 16:25 — ToyTalk
If you've been following the labRat blog on the development of our amazing sex toy, an interesting topic came up in the last LabLog entry on electronics. Namely, what are the possibilities once we connect the male sex toy to a computer?
So i did a little research. . .
There's a movement that's been floundering, in the sex toy industry, for over a decade. Early concepts were meant to allow a partner to adjust the speed of a sex toy over the phone (presumably accompanied by some hot and steamy "are you naked?" talk). Thus coined the term "teledildonics" - now an umbrella term for all endeavors to provide remote control to any sex toy; male or female.
Back in the 90's Steven Hirsch had the idea to create a male sex toy in the form of a full body suit (with vibrators and sensors placed in strategic locations), and control the suit externally using videos with embedded code that could signal changes in on-screen activities and relay data to the suit. The project totally flopped, largely because his "sex toy body suit" was completely ridonculous. The accompanying movies turned into a successful business though. Vivid Video have since produced such gems as "I love my ass" and "Debbie does Dallas. . . again".
A couple of years ago i attended a dorkbot presentation in San Francisco. The galla affair was centered around the induction of a whacky sex machine into the New York museum of sex.
A model was set to demonstrate the device controlled by the fabulous Violet Blue 3000 miles away, in San Francisco. Common to most teledildonics ventures, the event was inundated with technical problems. Once the projector was finally prodded to life with a broom handle we could see a pixeltated close-up of a cold lifeless phallus nudged against an unidentifiable patch of flesh, and frustrated ramblings of the inventor trying to jump start his machine in the background.
The crowd began talking amongst themselves, and pretty much shifted their attention away from the screen, aside from the occasional "zoom out! zoom out god-damn you!" until the crazed sex toy inventor realized the machine was not plugged in. As is often the case with foreplay gone bad the moment was lost and the demonstration became irrelevant. I honestly can't remember if they ever went through with it.
Have a look at labRat's tech update on the implementation of this stuff into our own male sex toy.

Crazed sex toy inventor here. For the record, the machine operated correctly and piloted the young lady to orgasm....once it was plugged back in. It was a frustrating event as I was not onsite at the Museum when the demo was happening. I was in my parents living room in Des Moines, Iowa visiting after being in Chicago for the Shibaricon convention. I was on IM with Violet during her talk, on the phone with the Museum, and in contact with my other teledildonic machines in Tampa. Talk about telepresence. Pulling my hair out.
What happened was when they snapped the gratification unit in place it unplugged the teledildonic subsystem. Newbies with a 700 pound sex machine. I should of figured. The machine has been online and fucking people for 7 years now...never a problem until in front of an audience. Performance anxiety.
Long story short. Net Michelle got off. That is what it was all about.

uhhh. . . i suppose "crazed" may not have come across as a compliment. . . Sorry about that.
The story was meant purely for entertainment purposes, and was no doubt influenced by several years of beer-enhanced story telling.
I'm no stranger to the power of Murphy's law in a live presentation, and your undertaking is orders of magnitude more ambitious than what we're working on with Rubbot. So, as far as my version of the story strayed from the facts or painted you in an un-flattering light i do apologize.
Good luck with your future "crazed sex toy inventions" and keep pushing the envelope!

You should incorporate some software so that you could watch videos while using this.
not only will this be a fun sex toy for men, it'll be fun for us ladies too!!
and how is a gal supposed to use a donut shaped object? just kinda wondering.
i suppose i could see it as some sort of interesting sex toy for couples.
that is hilarious. it sounds like teledildonics has a long way to go before guys have a sophisticated sex toy
Define sophsticated. Man, who wants to be tied to a computer? I would rather adjust the speed myself - sophisticated to me is a machine that will do all of the work while I sit back and enjoy.
that chick in the chair with the crotchless space-suit looks pretty sophisticated to me
yea. she'd do the trick
Her name is Rubber Doll.
