What does the future of sex look like? Well, aside from hologram porn, sex robots, and dating apps for every single interest, food preference, and place you go, you can start to expect more specialized, high-tech sex toys. But unlike niche dating sites and apps, the purpose of unique sex toys aren't exactly obvious to every consumer. From scented vibrators to ones that sync up with erotic short stories, there are plenty of revolutionary vibrators, dildos, and couples' toys coming your way.
But if you've been to a sex shop, there's a good chance you've seen a "what the eff is this?" toy or two. Sometimes, even after you've purchased it and know what it's meant for, you may still be clueless on how to use it when the time comes. And, is there anything more unsexy than pulling out a three-page instruction manual in the heat of the moment?
That's why we put five new sex toys to the test. We asked couples and Bustle staffers to take a look at these vibrators, couples' massagers, dildos, G-spot stimulators, cock rings, and masturbation toys and tell us what they're really meant for. See below as they give it their best shot:
Here are the toys featured in the video and how they're used:
1. Ora 2, $189
