Relax with this innovative combination of sex tech and soothing tunes.

Sweet Tech has announced a partnership with FeelXVideos to create a special ASMR interactive video for their Handy penis stroker.

Popular for its calming or stimulating effect, Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) is said to be triggered by specifically-designed sounds or visuals. Proponents also claim it can cause or enhance sexual arousal, dubbing it ASMRotica.

In the case of FeelXVideo and Sweet Tech, their cooperation was spurred by International ASMR day on April 9th to release an interactive version.

Hosted by FeelXVideo, its SFW sounds and imagery are coded to cause the Handy stroker to respond, producing a remarkably unique and surprisingly stimulating experience.

To help Handy owners understand interactive sex tech, they’ve released an ASMR unboxing and set up YouTube video starring adult entertainer Summer Fox.

In a barely-whispered voice, she demonstrates its various functions. I covered many of these in my recent Handy review for Future of Sex.

For those seeking a decidedly more explicit variety of interactive ASMR, FeelXVideo has hundreds available to check out. They even discuss its appeal and how they’re working on delivering more of them to their customers in a blog post.

Spending time with these or the Handy and FeelXVideo video is the best way to see if ASMR works for you.

Even if it doesn’t, it’s exciting to see an adult content producer and an innovative sex tech manufacturer teaming up to try something new.

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.
