Bedside Lamp Brings Between the Sheets Secrets to Light

Mark Wilson — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 18:00:00 EDT

Sometimes the best hiding spot for something is right out in the open—at least that's the philosophy of the bedside lamp, a furnishing that hides an easy to deduce marital aid inside.

Part of the Milan Furniture Fair, the "Love Design" collection explores the idea of incorporating sex toys into everyday home furnishings. Let's just say you should feel lucky that we didn't show you the candelabra butt plug. It'll kill that appetite faster than we can light a candle. [Fast Company and Matteo Cibic via bbGadgets]

Could I Have a Match? Try Vibrators and Nintendo Wiimotes

Jack Loftus — Sun, 11 May 2008 17:00:00 EDT

Remember when it was cool to joke about how the vibrating Wii remote looked, felt and behaved pretty much like a vibrator? No? Well, too bad, because it turns out that the two were more similar than the light-hearted humor suggested. In fact, both tools of pleasure employ technology built from a patent from the same company, Immersion.

Sure, Immersion uses an alter ego, "Internet Services, LLC," as an alias for when it licenses the rights to its "teledildonic gaming devices" patent to pleasure seekers of the flesh variety, but it's still the same tech at heart. Next up: A DIY project that turns the Wii Fit balance board into a customized Tantric sit-and-spin BMI calculator. Who's with me? [Boing Boing Gadgets]

The world of conceptual design often generates products that will make our lives easier and more fulfilling. For newlyweds, Katherine Gray has designed this combination wine goblets-plates-bowls-urinal-dildo kit. Plus when the deeds are done, the container can be used to store the ashes of your loved one.

I guess the world will never know. [yankodesign]

What do you get when you combine one of our favorite toys, the Robosapien, with a dildo? Something both kids and adults can enjoy. When we imagine having sex with robots every night, this is totally not what we're thinking of. – Jason Chen

Is This The First Vibrator Patent?

Jason Chen — Thu, 14 Dec 2006 21:00:39 EST

Thanks to Google's new patent search app, reader Ryan has been able to find what could be the first patent for a Vibrator. It was filed all the way back in 1926, titled "Electric Therapeutic Appliance", and was filed by John Dequer of Los Angeles.

The patent's also been referenced three times in the last twenty-odd years, as patent application titles became less and less creative. From the "Electric Therapeutic Appliance" to the "Mild-temperature thermomassage instrument" to "Apparatus for the threatment of diseases of the walls of opening or cavities of the body" to the most recent, and most straightforward, "Dildo". – Jason Chen
