Pornhub launches interactive videos that sync with your sex toys. You'll never need your hands again.
Hold onto your butts, folks. Your Pornhub experience is about to get a lot more...intimate?
The massive adult entertainment platform has just launched an entirely new and very NSFW category of videos that are meant to be used in conjunction with interactive sex toys. They’re the first of the free sites to offer this kind of integration, but it's pretty clear this is the future.
Corey Price, Pornhub's Vice President, said in a statement, “Over the course of the past year alone immersive technologies, particularly teledildonics, have quickly taken the industry by storm and garnered critical acclaim for their ability to provide users with something that teeters on reality.”

Hinge — popular choice for regular meetups
The way this experience works is that each of the videos (for now there are just a few hundred) has a series of pulses that are matched up with what’s happening in any given scene. Those are transmitted wirelessly to your device, which then simulates what you’re seeing on screen, and voila!
The biggest issue at the moment is that it can only be used with two devices, the Kiiroo Onyx and the Fleshlight Launch (which, if you haven’t seen it, is a wildly large and unwieldy device). That means -- you guessed it -- that only men can take advantage of this option at the moment. Boooooooooo.
But don’t worry too much, ladies: There is a plan to introduce female-friendly toys from OhMiBod, We-Vibe, Kiroo, and Lovense soon. So you hopefully won’t be left out in the cold for long. Eventually, the real goal is to add this same feature to their VR videos for full immersion.
Who knew that the porn of the future would be such an, uhhmm, hands-off experience.
