Innovative strokers, state-of-the-art massagers, haptic tech marvels, and more
A lot’s certainly changed in the six years since the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas awarded the 2019 Innovation Award to the Osé vibrator, made by Lora DiCarlo’s sextoy company, and then almost immediately rescinded it. Then, thanks to a groundswell of overwhelmingly negative publicity, publicly apologizing and formally restoring the award..
2025’s recent event featured an impressive number of innovative products, including several from well-respected manufacturers such as Lovense, Ohdoki, Motorbunny, and others.
Hello, Sensera
A relative newcomer to the industry, Sensera took home an Artificial intelligence honorable mention for its vulva-focused sextoy which they enthusiastically refere to as a “sexual wellness device.”
Made primarily out of medical grade, body-safe silicone, the Sensera comes with three interchangeable capsules containing specifically formulated lubricants, automatically dispensed when the toy’s array of sensors and built-in AI indicates when they’re needed the most: either to enhance user pleasure or just to make the experience more comfortable.
Ohdoki’s The Handy
Known for its advanced sextoy products, Ohdoki’s updated Handy stroker turned more than a few heads, particularly its optional new, heavy-duty articulated mount for a flexible, thoroughly hands-free experience.
The Handy’s interactivity has also been improved, boasting smartphone app compatibility for supported adult content, increased to over thirty thousand different videos across many platforms, and also to wirelessly join two Handy’s together.
Hopefully, The Handy’s newest model has addressed some of the precious one’s issues, like its lack of an onboard battery—meaning it has to stay plugged in to work—and how annoyingly difficult it was to get it and its smartphone app to talk to each other.
Feeling the G’s with Motorbunny
Another familiar respected sextech company, Motorbunny’s unique approach to haptic gaming made quite a few headlines.
Basically, a USB-C accessory for PlayStation 5, Xbox X/S, or Nintendo Switch controllers, when attached, the PlayMate Fluffer Haptic Relay Plug-in relays the player’s actions to any of Motorbunny’s five, Bluetooth-enabled pleasure devices.

As Gizmodo put it, “If you’ve ever wanted one of your favorite video games to take your sex level to the next level, the Motorbunny PlayMate Fluffer is the way to go.”
Ohdoki: Something for everyone
Clearly not a company willing to pass on a good—and pleasurable—opportunity, Ohdoki also unveiled The Oh!, a unique vulva-owner’s toy that, rather than using mechanical vibrations, instead employs ultrasonic waves to hit its owner’s, shall we say, high notes.
Similar to other smart sextoys, The Oh! is wirelessly operable from its companion app or can be set to respond to the user’s choice of music. As with The Handy, it’s unsure if The Oh! exclusively uses Wifi or Bluetooth as well.
As I don’t yet have one to carefully examine and review, the Oh! appears to be less elegant, perhaps less easy to use, than toys from other companies. But, as they say, the proof is in the pudding, so it may end up being an effective and enjoyable plaything.
Lovense, Lovense, and more Lovense
A personal favorite, Lovense garnered a lot of what seems to be a great deal of much-deserved attention for its smart-sensor equipped, touch-responsive Mission 2 and the Solace Pro, an impressively high-speed AI-supporting stroker.
Readers may already be familiar with the Solace Pro, as we gave it several enthusiastic thumbs up for its butter-smooth connectivity, well-put-together desk bracket, and while boasting an extremely fast stroke speed, felt more like a flesh-and-blood sexual experience and never once like having stuck oneself into a mechanical device.
CES 2026—we’ll see
It might be six years between Lora DiCarlo’s extremely poor treatment by CES officials, hypocritical considering the organizer’s other problematic policy decisions such as ostracizing sextech developers while at the same time allowing scantily clad booth babes to show off their wares, however this year’s event appears to be at least a partial step in the right direction.
Moving forward we hope that CES won’t repeat its past mistakes with regard to sextech businesses, especially in light of the market’s projected billion-dollar growth between now and 2029.
We can only wish that over the next year, CES, like many other trade shows, will finally recognize the financial, psychological, and sexual empowerment the industry has to offer—and not stick their heads in the sand or surrender yet again to anti-pleasure hysteria.
