Sex Toy Trends... Wise Words from The Handy Makers

With Clips4Sale just weighing in with their 2025 Fetish Map of the United States, and this recent article in XBIZ, about what might just be coming up in the adult content world, one wonders if our modern-day surveys, searches and stats might be able to predict sex toy trends.

As even the most casual sex toy user has to know by now, “Toys with app connectivity, long-distance remote control and interactivity with adult content are becoming increasingly common,” is the seeming truth as stated by the above XBIZ piece. And as a surely shaky post-Covid economy pushes folks to more affordable options in all they buy—not just their adult products—quality and cost are also what manufacturers are balancing.

There really are so many factors that influence trends.

JP Wilhelmsen, CEO of Ohdoki, creators of The Handy interactive stroker and The Oh! Vibrator lays out other concerns that influence the creation of new products.

“As the sex toy industry becomes increasingly saturated with low-tech, lookalike products, high-tech innovations are setting a new standard. With the evolution of VR and haptic technology, and more willingness from individuals and couples to further explore intimacy, the future of sex toys is smarter, more immersive, and more dynamic than ever."

Reading this latest report about the just past CES2025 convention, bears what Wilhelmsen advises, with the ‘sex tech’ stigma starting to whittle away with a ‘everybody’s-logging-on-plugging-in-connecting-via-Bluetooth attitude, the way forward is surely on improved teledildonics, more naughty play and an overall safer, smarter and a better facility for fun no matter where lovers are located to each other or what gender they identify as.

Yes, the future looks so bright, we need to wear shades….when jerking off with a Fleshlight or enjoying multiple orgasms with a clit sucker.
