The World’s Best Sex Toy for VR Porn: The New AutoBlow A.I.

The Indiegogo After Dark collection has now raised over $1.6 million for 15 campaigns and over 18,300 backers. This includes both In-Demand and crowdfunding now products. But the story about Indiegogo and Sex Toys goes back several years. Probably the best-known example is interactive VR sex toy the Autoblow device and its successors: the world’s most realistic robotic oral sex simulator for men.

 

Autoblow was started by Brian Sloan. He went to law school for a career but during his personal odyssey, he hit an interesting fork in the road. He realized that being a lawyer at a law firm was not so much fun. So logically he became the “entrepreneur of the autoerotic,” as one publication described his transformation. Since then he has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars online and countless media mentions that help promote his unique device.

Rewards-based crowdfunding has become the vehicle of choice for Autoblow and many other products along the same line of business. Indiegogo, in its economic wisdom, has now formally recognized the phenomena with their After Dark subcategory. The global sex toy industry has grown into a $15 billion business. Technology and improvements in shipping have helped to pave the way. No need to sheepishly purchase a product in a local fetish store as devices are delivered discreetly to your doorstep within days. According to StatisticBrain,

 

Vibrators & Dildos are at the top of the list but the variety and creativity of devices are improving. With the era of Virtual Reality just around the corner, VR Gear will certainly make the leap from First Person Shooter games to a different type of FPS. Smartphone controlled devices where users can remotely control, and interact with, their partner’s devices have already become a popular item. Now Indiegogo is well positioned to exploit this growing consumer interest. Check out these popular hi-tech VR sex toy: Kiiroo, Autoblow2, Flesh Light, Vitafun.
