A new smart sex toy aims to empower and destigmatize women’s sexual health, all while tracking your body’s responses to help you achieve the best orgasm.

The $230 Lioness vibrator uses an array of sensors to detect changes in temperature, contraction, and positioning, allowing it to create a personalized profile of a person’s sex drive.

And, once it’s gotten to know its owner, Lioness can also make recommendations based on the feedback.

HOW THE SMART VIBRATOR WORKS Embedded sensors will collect data while a person uses the device ‘as normal,’ and will record up to 20 sessions. Then, when the vibrator and app are on at the same time, the data will sync. The app can then make suggestions on different aspects of the sexual experience, including recommended foreplay time. It also aims to help users understand how their sex drive changes in relation to their menstrual cycle. Using the app, Lioness users can adjust the vibration strength and even share the data with a partner. Advertisement

The Berkeley-based firm explains that sexual well-being is just another component of healthy life, on par with eating, sleeping, and breathing.

Lioness works using built-in sensors and an accompanying smartphone app, according to the IndieGoGo page.

‘Inside this vibrator are embedded sensors that can measure your arousal and orgasm states so you can learn different things about your sexual health, like how it correlates with things like the time of day or your mood or your menstrual cycle,’ explains Co-Founder and Lioness CEO Liz Klinger in the IndieGoGo video.

The launch of the campaign was met with immediate success, reaching the initial goal in just four days.

As of April 10, Lioness has been funded more than double the original figure, with a current backing of $109,754.

But, if you’re one of the people wondering, ‘Wait…will there be a Bluetooth in my vagina,’ the firm says the answer is no.

Once a person begins using the smart vibrator the Bluetooth will turn off, as many people are not comfortable with the idea of it being on during the activity.

Coupled with the integrated technology, the design of the vibrator itself aims to optimize the experience.

It is body-safe, rechargeable, and water resistant according to the page, and gives users a ‘new mindset of ‘what else should I try?’’

‘The fact is, female pleasure has been far more elusive than male pleasure,’ said Sarah Merrill, a sex researcher at Cornell University in a testimonial on the page.

‘This product could provide a service to women by addressing a large gap in the knowledge and practice of female sexuality.’

Lioness completed beta testing in February, and production will be underway as of this coming May, with shipping set to begin at the end of the summer.
