LoveNuts vibrator review: do we need a connected sex toy?

Published on Aug 8, 2017


LoveNuts is a great first vibrator for someone looking to shy to pick up a more obvious in your face product. 70% of women need clitoral stimulation to reach orgasm so starting off with a vibrator focuses on just that, is a good idea.

The video chat app is a nice touch, it works well had no lag and the stream itself has good call quality. However, we do think that it could over more than minimum security encryption since it the nature of the content is known and could make LoveNuts a target for hackers.

The product itself feels well designed and premium and if you’re in a long distance relationship this might just be the perfect device to help narrow the divide. However, if you’re not looking to increase intimacy with someone far away and your bed side table is already well stocked we might give this a miss.

Europe’s First Sex Doll Brothel

Published on Dec 11, 2018


Are sex dolls the future of prostitution? Joel Golby heads to Barcelona to visit the centre of this strange battleground for the future of sexual politics.

On one side, there's Europe's First Sex Doll Brothel that's opened up with Serge Prieto, the Sex Doll CEO, presiding over his legion of lifeless dolls. These dolls share a building with real life sex workers who compete for the attention of Barcelona's paying public.

On the other side of town, there's the first signs of a sex doll resistance from a competing traditional brothel whose owner, Stephan, wants to maintain control of the market.

Overlooking this turf war in the hills is the world's leading sex robot inventor, Sergi Santos, who along with his wife, the self-titled G Spot Maker, is pushing sex doll technology to its limits.

I went sex toy shopping in India: sex rated

Published on Jan 16, 2019


Sex is largely a taboo subject in India, where vibrators, dildos, and other sex toys aren’t just rarely discussed, they’re tightly regulated. Still, the devices have been quietly sold in the country for years, and a growing number of Indians are using them, giving rise to a wave of designers, companies, and vendors who are trying to fill that demand—and, at the same time, encourage sex-positivity in a culture that’s long been resistant to it.

On this episode of ‘VICE INTL,’ VICE India's Rytasha Rathore dives into the country’s burgeoning sex toy market, visiting a street vendor who sells them, sitting in on an online sex toy company’s focus group, and meeting with experts who tell her what the future of sex toys in India might look like.

This transition will give rise to a host of new ethical and behavioral questions.
