Get in the Mood with Vibease’s Sexy App Updates

Long-distance sex platform now supports live video calls and phallic vibrator.

Vibease adds Esthesia rabbit vibrator to its sex toy app platform

Vibease, one of the leaders in teledildonics innovation, has added two updates to its erotic audiobook and sex toy platform.

Meet Esthesia

The first is Esthesia: a phallic vibrator that provides both G-spot and clitoral stimulation. Composed of soft silicone, Esthesia, according to Vibease, is an improvement on the classic “rabbit” design.

It launched in February and stems from a partnership between Vibease and another sex toy company.

Like the company’s namesake remote sex vibrator, Esthesia can be paired with the Vibease app. The app lets lovers send touch and sexy stories to and from anywhere with an Internet connection. They can create their own unique vibratory patterns that sync to action in their custom made voice recordings or opt for solo action by linking vibrators to pre-recorded erotic audiobooks.

Opening up the Vibease app to new products marks a change of direction for the sex tech company.

“We now make Vibease as a platform for other sex toys. We provide the technology for other companies to make their sex toys become smart,” Vibease co-founder and CEO Dema Tio told Future of Sex.

“It’s a great partnership. Other vibrator companies can focus on manufacturing and selling and we can focus on building great apps. We can focus more on building great apps and make sex toys event smarter.”

Seeing and feeling

The second update adds voice and video calling to the Vibease app.

Using the Android or iOS apps, which work similar to Skype, registered users can now not just remotely control an Esthesia or a Vibease they can see their partners’ expressions while they do so.

Being able to have real-time calls definitely enhances the user experience, and is certainly a desirable feature for long-distance sex.

The above updates follow Vibease’s efforts to develop a male version of the Her software, as in the 2013 Spike Jonze film,

A past patent problem

It’s also worth noting that Vibease was one of six sex tech companies named a defendant in arecent patent lawsuit. The legal action was brought by last year by TZU Technologies which holds rights to the remote sex patent (nicknamed both the ‘268 or the Hassex patent).

This month, Vibease agreed to a settlement with TZU Technologies of an undeclared amount. It may have been a cost effective way for Vibease to move on, instead of continuing with its counterclaim that the patent in question is invalid.

TZU Technologies, as Ars Technica points out, appears to be a patent troll operation: a company set up primarily to claim ownership of a type of technology just to sue other developers. Instead of entering into a costly legal battle many companies choose not to fight in court but pay a settlement to put the matter aside.

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.
