Is the next big step in teledildonics digital fellatio?

Say what you want, but you have to give the folks at Camsoda [NSFW] a round of applause: one, for a really clever concept and, two, for having the cojones to refer to their new BlowCast [NSFW] as “the iTunes of Blowjobs.”

Why? The webcam site is selling digitally recorded oral sex from its adult performers.The virtual fellatio can then be played back and enjoyed via an interactive sex sleeve.

Many folks have written about recent teledildonic breakthroughs, including us, and we’re all almost getting used to the idea of linking one or more sex toys together via the Internet, but CamSoda clearly looked at this and had a lightbulb moment.

Why not have some adult entertainment stars use their oral sex skills on one of those smart toys—and then let their fans enjoy the pleasure from home??

Ta-da: BlowCast!

To be fair, Engadget points out that CamSoda wasn’t technically the first to have this light bulb: RealTouch Interactive had a similar idea until they vanished down a rabbit hole of legal and technological headaches.

But now it looks like CamSoda will take off, and then some, where RealTouch didn’t.

One lesson the company learned is not to try and invent everything from scratch. Where RealTouch tried to create its own hardware, Camsoda [NSFW] instead have partnered with interactive toy maker Kiiroo.

Using Kiiroo’s Pearl—the “for her” sex toy—CamSoda webcam model’s give their oral best. The recording can then be played back, through the camming site, to Kiiroo’s “for him” device: the Onyx.

An awesome opportunity

As reported by Rolling Stone, CamSoda star Charley Hart says of BlowCast: “I think that [teledildonics] is such an awesome opportunity that they can get it and they literally feel what it’s like for me to give them a blowjob, for them to have sex with me.”

CamSoda is offering cheap intro pricing: free for the first month and after that a virtual oral session will cost just $1.

Whether or not BlowCast really does up the game in teledildonics is yet to be seen, but it’s pleasant to hear that at least Charley Hart sees it as a positive step, and not just technologically: “I just hope with all of these advancements, we open up new avenues for communication and education and acceptance and less shaming in the areas of sex and pleasure and what turns people on.”

M. Christian

M.Christian (they/them) loves nothing better than exploring the intersections of sex and technology—and speculating on the future of both. A highly regarded erotica writer they have six novels,12 collections, 100+ short stories, and 25 anthologies as an editor to their name. Their non-fiction regularly appears in many sites, but they're most proud of being a regular contributor to Future of Sex.

Of their erotic fiction, Tristan Taormino said that “M.Christian is a literary stylist of the highest caliber: smart, funny, frightening, sexy—there's nothing [they] can't write about… and brilliantly.”

Reflecting their unique ability to sympathetically and convincingly write for a range of genders and sexual orientations, their stories have appeared in multiple editions of Best American Erotica, Best Gay Erotica, Best Lesbian Erotica, The Mammoth Books of Erotica, and others. Their collection of gay erotic fiction, Dirty Words, was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award.

While a majority of their stories have been collected into books like Dirty Words, their fondness for combining sex and science fiction is clearly evident in collections that include Rude Mechanicals, Technorotica, Better Than The Real Thing, Skin Effect Effect, Bachelor Machine, and Hard Drive: The Best Sci-Fi Erotica of M.Christian.

As a novelist, M.Christian’s versatility is on full display with Running Dry, The Very Bloody Marys, Brushes, Painted Doll; and the somewhat controversial queer BDSM/horror/thrillers Finger's Breadth, and Me2.

M.Christian has worked on the industry’s production side as an Associate Publisher for Renaissance E Books and as a Publisher for Digital Parchment Services. The latter dedicated to celebrating the works of science-fiction legends such as William Rotsler, Jerome Bixby, Jody Scott, Arthur Byron Cover, Ernest Hogan, and James Van Hise.

Covering topics like BDSM safety, sexual education, senior sexuality concerns, queer and gender issues, plus reviewing a variety of sex tech products, M.Christian’s non-fiction has appeared on sites like Kinkly, Tickle.Life, Sexpert, Queer Majority, Sex for Every Body, and—of course—their ongoing work for Future of Sex.

If there’s anything M.Christian enjoys more than writing, it’s teaching. A featured presenter, sometimes with their friend Ralph Greco Jr, at national sex and BDSM events, they have lectured on kink play (with an emphasis on safety), polyamory, boosting sexual creativity, and erotica writing--for beginners or those wanting to go pro.

M.Christian is a cohost on two popular sex-education podcasts: Love’s Outer Limits with Dr. Amy Marsh and Licking Non-Vanilla with Ralph Greco, Jr.
