Device promises longer, more stimulating sexual experiences.

Sex tech company MysteryVibe, known for its unisex Crescendo vibrator, has announced the release of the Tenuto: a brand new type of smart vibrator.

In contrast to the Crescendo, Tenuto was created from the ground up specifically with male pleasure in mind.

Designed and built for men

The Tenuto looks vaguely similar to other male-specific sex devices, but with some all-important differences.

First, it boasts six separate vibrational motors that can be controlled through a smartphone app or by controls on the Tenuto itself.

Second, motors are intentionally placed to stimulate particular areas of the male anatomy. The ones located around the shaft of the penis, for example, are there to encourage blood flow and can also stimulate a female partner’s clitoris during penetrative sex. The motors around the perineum and the base of the penis, meanwhile, are there to generate more intense orgasms for the primary user.

A different approach to male pleasure

Tenuto’s approach to giving men sexual excitement stands out from the crowd.

According to MysteryVibe co-founder Stephanie Alys, vibration technology “has the power to intensify pleasure and stimulate blood flow for both partners, but is barely used in male pleasure products.”

Regarding the motivation behind developing the smart device, she said:

We wanted to build a product that would add power to the man, while simultaneously helping a woman to orgasm. Tenuto gives couples the ability to experience the future of sex.

Sleek design

Taking almost two years to develop, UK company Seymourpowell helped design Tenuto. According to MysteryVibe, the new device was inspired by both robotics and the “sleek design of Apple.”

MysteryVibe is currently taking pre-orders for the Tenuto, with August 2018 set as the expected delivery date. People who pre-order the device will get a nice bonus: a price reduction from $129 to $85.

M. Christian

M.Christian loves nothing better than exploring the intersections of sex and technology—and speculating on the future of both. A highly regarded erotica writer he has six novels,12 collections,100+ short stories, and 25 anthologies as an editor to his name. His non-fiction regularly appears n many sites, but he’s most proud of being a regular contributor to Future of Sex.

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

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

While a majority of his stories have been collected into books like Dirty Words, his 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 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 sextech products, M.Christian’s non-fiction has appeared on sites like Kinkly, Tickle.Life, Sexpert, Queer Majority, Sex for Every Body, and—of course—his ongoing work for Future of Sex.

If there’s anything M.Christian enjoys more than writing, it’s teaching. A featured presenter, sometimes with his friend Ralph Greco Jr, at national sex and BDSM events, he’s 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.
