2025: What It Looks Like for the Sex Toy Industry
Here's a story set in 2025.
It's 2025, five years after the global COVID-19 panic.
In the world of sex, there was a big increase in sales of fancy sex toys in 2023. These are basically high-tech sex toys.
Remember, the brain is the most important sexual organ. So, things like fancy reality apps and long-distance sex toys have actually helped relationships despite social distancing. This led to new sex toys designed to keep couples close even when they're apart. These devices let partners connect in ways that weren't possible before, keeping the spark alive no matter where they are.
By 2025, sex toy makers are really stepping up their game. They're making more toys than ever. They see the potential for long-distance sex toys, so they're making smart ones that can make you feel close to someone far away. These cool new toys are all over big online stores like Amazon, AliBaba, and Wish. Everyone's jumping on the bandwagon, showing off their latest toys for every taste and budget.
This change is pushing companies to focus more on this new market. DINGFOO, for example, now makes smart sex toys that work with their platform. Their influencers can sell these gadgets to their fans for an even better experience.
It's pretty funny to see big companies getting into your home with high-tech gadgets that can also be used as sex toys. One popular item online is a solar-powered vacuum cleaner that can be turned into a sex toy with different attachments.
We're living in exciting times, that's for sure.
Here's a typical day in the virtual sex toy industry:
I start my day by checking my phone for messages from my dating apps. It's partly out of boredom, but mostly because I want to connect with people. One of my apps urgently tells me I've got lots of messages overnight. One of them is from Anthony, a guy I met from Lithuania. He's nice, polite, and, best of all, generous. He's kind of like my sugar daddy now, which is new for me, but getting gifts and attention doesn't sound too bad.
Today, he's sending me a new sex toy that just came out. It connects to the main sex and dating apps, so you can have fun all day long. It's different from other toys because it can sense your mood and give you good vibes when you're stressed.
I'm really excited about this gift.
The message says, "Good morning, Tracy. You were naughty last night. You deserve to be punished for your behaviour." It adds, "Hope you like this little gift - can't wait to use it together tonight."
"Oh Ant, you know me too well!" I reply. "You've inspired me to put on new underwear this morning…" On the app, my avatar tries on a sexy lingerie set. I send the AR image to my lover in Lithuania.
He replies right away. "You look amazing, love. Charge it to me, and feel free to pick up a few accessories for our nightly rendezvous too." Following his request, I add items to my avatar's cart. The actual accessories will arrive at my place in a day, but for now, my avatar waits in her virtual world.
Last month, he gave me another sex toy. This time, it's a vibrator with a wireless earpiece and an app that plays sounds matching a custom sex scene. It's my favourite so far. It's not super high-tech, but it lets me create my own sexy scenarios with any partner I want. Oh, the fun we've had! It's like playing Sims again. Adventure, passion, and desire at our fingertips - what more could we ask for?
