Sex objects don't look like themselves anymore. While the industry of personal sexual satisfaction is still dominated by glittery phalli and plastic rabbits, a handful of companies that challenge the anatomical form factor have started to emerge. And San Francisco-based Jimmyjane has been one of the driving forces behind this new design of delight. Launched in 2004, the company first gained ...

From the Consumer Electronics Show to the Adult Entertainment Expo, we looked at the forward-thinking objects meant to bring (and create) pleasure. At Switched, we are big proponents of rethinking the way women (and men) can use technology for pleasure, and the days of anatomical, phallic sex objects -- for us at least -- are over.

Here are a few of the other noteworthy things we saw today on our never-ending journey through the wild, wild Web. Brooklyn nerds have come together to raise money for "a cyberpunk fête" celebrating the 15th anniversary of the movie 'Hackers.' (15 years? Doesn't that make you feel young?)

Sure, we got to squeal at the Skweel, and get our finger, er, caressed by the Tenga Flip (better than, say, a ...

The Web is teeming with the unrealized ideas of both students and established designers who set out to produce astonishing renderings and prototypes for unusual products. Unfortunately, due to the lack of time, money, or technology, many of those products never progress from the planning stages to the mass market. But that doesn't mean we can't salivate over them, nevertheless. In honor of ...

While we salivated over the latest, greatest products at CES, TrueCompanion unleashed a little bomb of its own over at the Adult Entertainment Expo (across the way from the gadget expo in Vegas) with the announcement of the world's first sex robot. Depending on your kinky quotient, the Roxxxy TrueCompanion marks an exciting revolution for sex toys or a despicable new low for society. Either ...

Since the early days of advertising, companies have been marketing massage devices to women under the intention of curing or relieving 'feminine illness.' Like a modernized throwback to those bygone advertisements, a new Apple app seeks to cure the female tremors by turning your iPhone/iPod Touch into a "vibrating personal massager," giving you four levels of buzzing bliss for only a dollar. ...

OhMiBod, the folks behind the world's first iPod-enabled vibrator, rolled out another first at this year's Adult Entertainment Expo: A wireless iPod-enabled vibrator. The system uses a discreet transmitter to sync a vibrator (available in a full palette of Nano-matching colors) to a user's favorite playlist.
