From the sibling tryst on The White Lotus to that condom scene in Benito Skinner’s Overcompensating, there are seemingly few taboos Hollywood won’t touch these days. Yet on the consumer side, a stigma often still exists when it comes to adult toys. Even though celebrities like Christina Aguilera, Lily Allen and Katy Perry have all put their names — and images — behind sex toys, there remains some healthy skepticism into how these devices work — and how they can actually be of benefit.
That’s why adult toy manufacturers are taking a different marketing approach for the holidays, promoting their devices as must-have tools for physical and metaphorical “connectivity,” and pushing vibrators as pickups for cuffing season.
One of these manufacturers is We-Vibe, whose recently launched Chorus Pro vibrator comes with a buzzy promise: to help couples re-connect. Posed to be the brand’s biggest drop of the year, We-Vibe’s new flagship device has shared pleasure at its core through real-time feedback. This is achieved by letting users sense exactly what their partner is experiencing — receiving a matching vibration in the hand remote as in the toy.
The experience is also incredibly intuitive as the Chorus Pro’s Haptic Squeeze Remote lets users control the 10 levels of intensity through a simple squeeze. For added (shared) intensity, the toy has two synchronized motors that create unique wave-like pulses — called Fusion Wave Technology — deepening the sensation. And the device does not discriminate against long distance lovers. Since it’s app enabled, the Chorus Pro allows couples to play together or remotely, with the same completely customizable experience no matter the mileage.
From this innovative new launch from We-Vibe ($229) to Kourtney Kardashian’s Lemme Play Daily Intimacy Gummies ($22.50 $29.99), brands and public figures alike are making it easier and more acceptable than ever to talk about sex.
