In an interview over at Lemondrop, lifelong sex toy aficionado and designer Chad Braverman of Doc Johnson (hey, that thair might be uh pun) talks about how he got into the biz, what the future of sex toys looks like, and what the deal is what that shaking-orgasm-vibrator we've been hearing about...
My father... founded Doc Johnson in 1976... I got an insider's education on all aspects of the business... It obviously helps to have an understanding of the adult industry ...
The "squirmy" style rabbit vibrator has been around forever. No one has really ever changed it. But we just invented a "throbbing" squirmy called Throbbing Hearts that actually mimics the throbbing sensation a man's penis has during and after orgasm. It's an incredible concept.
I have definitely seen designs that made me laugh, but nothing is created for the sake of being funny. Sex is an incredibly private pleasure. What gets one person off might sound strange to another.
The WeVibe is a great item. Incredibly innovative. I'm most impressed these days with sleek design and new materials. No need to reinvent the wheel completely. But consumers are... looking for higher quality, better materials and better function. I think this is where the future lies in the novelty world. I also expect to see a lot of cross-over with content in a virtual sense. See the action, feel the action. Products embedded with chips that will connect users away.
Where do you think sex toys are headed, people?
