Because we’re quarantined, massive New Year’s Eve gatherings are considered in poor taste. 

However, that has not stopped leading long- distance sex tech company Lovense—via announcing the ability to use the company’s suite of pleasure devices in online orgies with up to 100 participants—from ending the year with a bang.

Yes, you read correctly.

Lovense’s iOS and Android-downloadable Remote App has been updated with a “Group control” feature, allowing users to arrange online orgies with up to 100 participants simultaneously synced. 

Let’s get it on virtually…

In regards to the announcement, Lovense CEO Dan Liu said: 

Many people are locked in their homes, limited in human contact, and experiencing loneliness or boredom. I am confident that the Group control feature comes at the perfect time and will please a lot of people.

To engage in the “orgy,” Lovense toy owners registered in the Lovense Remote App can create or join up to 50 separate group-controlled sex sessions.

Participants can then either set the vibration power and frequency to control other toys in real-time or download existing patterns uploaded by other Lovense Remote App users.

People-pleasing during the COVID era has led to significant innovation for Lovense.

Foremost, in August, the company officially released Lovense’s Media Player.

The Windows-based media platform blends remote-synced stimulation with watching 2D and VR pornography, plus home videos, music clips, or favorite movies.

As well, just in time for the end of 2020, the company released the Ferri, a purse-sized panty-vibrator (that stays in place with a magnetic attachment), aimed at remote-controlled clitoral stimulation.

Plus, Lovense’s Max, Max2, Nora, and Mission toys were already equipped for unique long-distance sex functions. If a user engages in solo play while linked to another user (or now, users), other toys can react in real-time to a self-controlled and self-pleasuring user, creating a replicated sex event.

The need for 100-person orgies may seem extreme. However, recent studies highlight a half-decade long extended vaccination period that could delay the regular occurrence of COVID-free interpersonal intercourse. Thus, the potential for whimsical sexual behavior to become a potential option exists.

Nature Magazine’s conservative estimates state that COVID-19 vaccines will take four years to vaccinate citizens worldwide. As well, roughly 90% of epidemiologists surveyed by the New York Times in November  2020 suggest that non-socially distanced, indoor, unmasked interactions involving romantic touch would be highly unwise to consider for at least three of the next four years.

2020’s interminable quarantine has led to online engagement for sexual purposes that have been more harmful than joyous.

Websites like OnlyFans have come under fire for many concerns regarding their content creators’ financial sustainability and abusing the platform’s seeming lack of regulations.

As well, portals like FetLife are linked to racist and sexist demagoguery. Moreover, a seemingly unimpeded rise in cyber-sexual assault via deepfake technology is occurring. 

“We will continue to develop our services, offering our users more and more interesting and useful options,” says Lovense’s Dan Liu.

Ultimately, it’s the potential for unintended benefits of this announcement that are the most significant. 

Lovense’s announcement best highlights the potential for positive developments in the online sexual conversation. An app-driven orgy—more than a wild night in lockdown—represents the desire to create safe and consensual sexual spaces.
