News hit this week that tech giant Apple has approved its first-ever iPhone porn app…in the EU. Famous for what Steve Jobs called the company’s “moral responsibility” in keeping adult content accessibility from iPhone users, it seemed, at first, this news signaled a change in Apple’s policy. Might we see iPhone users locked into their screens more than ever before? Or even folks downloading their sex toy remote control apps via their iPhones to enjoy a little tickle and jolt?

The app in question, Hot Tub, allows its users access to adult sites like xHamster and Pornhub. It is available in the EU via the AltStore.

Apple's Not Happy

A deeper dive into this news reveals what this XBIZ article calls Apple’s “begrudging approval" of the Hot Tub app being downloaded. In a statement released last week, Apple said, in part, “…we certainly do not approve of this app and would never offer it in our App Store. The truth is that we are required by the European Commission to allow it to be distributed by marketplace…” But the EC can (and has) surpassed Apple’s policy to provide Hot Tub an entry having adopted the Digital Markets Act or DMA. Implemented by various governments three years ago, the DMA requires Apple to allow its users the freedom to download apps from alternative app stores.

Again, what further changes will Apple have to endure? As we are all well aware of (and have been using) cell phone porn download app capacity, adult toy net connectivity, remote Bluetooth capacity, is not only the wave of the future…it is the hot sauce of the now!

When we all want greater connectivity to our toys, the capacity to share teledildonic experiences with remote partners and all the other possibilities coming via AI and our mobile connecting to it, this ‘infiltration’ of Apple, sets us all dreaming.

  • A New Twist To An Old Game: The TENGA SPINNER SPN-003

    The TENGA SPINNER SPN-003 delivers a unique twist on male masturbation. Pretty much taking up the job of spinning the second you insert yourself into the long jelly-flexi tube, the all-new internal coil here adds immeasurable pleasure as you execute each stroke. You have to be fully invested (inserted all the way) to get the most out of this little machine's jerk-off assistance, but it will get you off in no time if you keep your thrusting steady and firm.

  • Co-starring with Lulu Chu's Main Squeeze

    Who wouldn't want to get up close and personal with a beautiful Chinese porn star? The Lulu Chu Main Squeeze stroker is a male masturbator rendered in that high-end line of jerk-off sleeves based on the pussy proportions of a famous adult star. With a textured interior, set in a hard-shell case, an oh-so-twistable airtight cap that adds wonderfully to the unit's suction, a side 'squeeze plate' feature so the user can add or decrease pressure as he sees fit, and the ability to disassemble for a quick clean up, you get a lot for the price of this toy. Co-starring with Lulu has never been better. And let's face it, this is as close as any of us is ever likely to get to fucking a porn star. Why not have at it with this well-made, soft and welcoming life-like vagina sleeve.

  • Gettin' A Hand...From The Handy

    Enter the world of state-of-the-art, motorized Scandinavian male masturbation with The Handy. From its big black box discreet packaging to the heavyweight apparatus that holds the cup-like ribbed sleeve that connects you to the unit via its 'TruGrip' band, really what doesn’t this jerk-offer do? Online you can hook up to the 'Handyverse' (QR Code included with the instructions) and synchronize the machine to video and VR headsets. In this mode, you can also have a partner manipulate your strokes and speed via remote control. Offline, it becomes a highly versatile masturbator with a bunch of speeds and vibration modes. And with no battery running the motor, you just plug the Handy in, then yourself, and away you go. While this might not be the easiest machine to fit on yourself, and it does tend to get a little heavy the longer you are in it, you pay for what you get here....one of the higher-end motorized male masturbators on the market today.
