Autoblow, the brand behind the first sex toy that uses AI to replicate human actions and the first voice controlled sex toy, has released a short film demonstrating the surprising possible future of human sexual interactions, where pleasure is transmitted not by touch but by thoughts. The story, first reported by VICE, has gone viral globally and has additionally appeared on the NY Post, in the Daily Mail, and across Russia, Slovakia, Indonesia, Croatia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Greece France, and other countries.
Brian Sloan, the inventor of the Autoblow, commissioned a project to use a brain computer interface (BCI) to control the Autoblow AI+ using brainwaves, or in other words, thoughts. The study, conducted by neurotechnology scientists who elected to remain anonymous due to possible negative career implications of working in the field of human sexuality, demonstrated brainwave control of four sex toy actions: starting the machine’s stroking action, stroking slower or faster, and initiating the “finish me” function that selects the AI mode at the fastest speed. Sloan additionally obtained a US patent covering his method of controlling sex toys via brain waves.
During the study, test subjects wore EEG headsets to train a deep neural network to detect brainwaves that related to intended Autoblow commands. Although controlling sex toys using erotic thoughts are the goal of future research, in this study, test subjects mapped thoughts of moving each of their arms and legs to each of the 4 Autoblow functions. An Autoblow connected to Wi-Fi on a nearby table activated in response to commands, and a graphical interface lighted up when each thought command was received.
Autoblow inventor Brian Sloan said, “Until now we’ve only controlled sex toys using buttons and dials which is 100 year old technology. Thinking yourself or someone else to orgasm will transcend the normal human experience, giving us a completely new sexual ability. As the Autoblow and other sexual devices can connect to Wi-Fi, in the future this technology can work equally well for an individual or for any number of individuals linked together by the internet anywhere in the world. And even more exciting is the possibility of giving people who cannot move their body parts a thought-controlled outlet for sexual autonomy.”
