Thrusting toys are back. At $239 the Lelo Ina Thrust is the priciest of the four we compared, and our reviewer could still feel vibration through the handle and wanted better ergonomics for the money. Full roundup on SEXTECHGUIDE.

Realdoll's next generation will include its first male AI-focused sex robots, president Sue Ennis told us, plus handheld devices of male anatomy that sync with the AI's memory. She says the industry acted as if cis women and gay men did not care. Full story on SEXTECHGUIDE.

Pulsar says it trained the F1's motion on more than 50 hours of video of human hand technique, over 40 movements, and it runs from a browser rather than an app. Kickstarter has suspended the campaign. Full story on SEXTECHGUIDE.

SVibe supplied the unit. Our reviewer scored the Snail Jovi Arc 5.4 out of 10: a third ring makes it slightly steadier, but it still slips because the silicone is as floppy as before, and the single motor is loud at the top settings. Full review on SEXTECHGUIDE.

The Glint's base reads skin contact, so a partner's harder thrust drives stronger vibration across 5 levels. The same sensor can fire up a second Lovense toy, and session logging is off by default. Full story on SEXTECHGUIDE.

Jack'd is putting $20,000 behind queer filmmakers of color, two $10,000 prizes, one picked by a jury and one by app users. Films show in the app from 2 November to 3 December 2026. Submissions close 5pm ET on 21 October. More in our October dating roundup on SEXTECHGUIDE.

Kiiroo's Julio is sold on realism. At full thrust it reaches just under 20cm, where studies of average erect penis length tend to record 13 to 14cm. It is $89, has five built-in patterns, and syncs to video and to cam-site tips. Full story on SEXTECHGUIDE.

The Duet runs two voice-coil motors driven independently, with the phone sending waveforms over Bluetooth instead of preset patterns. Intiwave's CEO says frequency and amplitude can move separately on each channel. Kickstarter opens 10 November. More on SEXTECHGUIDE.

Womanizer's new Snap is the smallest Pleasure Air device it has made, 58mm long and packaged so you might take it for headphones. Pleasure Air is meant to work without contact, but the nozzle still sits against the surrounding skin. Full story on SEXTECHGUIDE.

The first SX Tech EU in Berlin ran a hackathon and startup pitches, and a 2021 pitch winner took €50,000 at the wider Wolves Summit contest. There will be no 2027 edition, and founder Ola Miedzynska is stepping down. More on SEXTECHGUIDE.

The Lovense Lush 4 has a stronger, rumblier motor than earlier Lush models, and a tail that stops around the pubic bone with only the faintest vibration reaching the tip. We scored it 7.4 out of 10 at $259. Lovense supplied the unit. Full review on SEXTECHGUIDE.

Blush's AI character Rowen now has an 8.5 inch body at $299.99. The AI part is a scannable code in the box, what it unlocks is not spelled out, and nothing syncs the chatbot to the device. We have asked Blush for detail. Story on SEXTECHGUIDE.

Devin's site says its vibrator's audio "responds to your arousal in real time". Its own FAQ says body-responsive features are "still being developed and tested". The device is $249, estimated to ship in 2027. Story on SEXTECHGUIDE.

Warwick and Loughborough academics want driverless taxis redesigned to put you off having sex in them. Part of the evidence they brought: 297 amateur porn results for "public transport" in a January 2026 search. Story on SEXTECHGUIDE.

Handy sync on Stripchat has left the private room. One tip now drives every connected device in a public chat at once, and Ohdoki says it costs nothing beyond the device itself. Story on SEXTECHGUIDE.

The Womanizer Next Duo gets depth control right, then wraps it in 195mm of device and seven buttons. Our verdict landed at 5.6 out of 10. Womanizer supplied the unit. Full review on SEXTECHGUIDE.

For $5, Stud or Dud runs your date through courthouse documents, bankruptcy filings and tax liens. The person you search never finds out, and its own terms say it is not a background check. Our September dating round up is on SEXTECHGUIDE.

Lelo's F2S Double Sonic has a Humanize mode that deliberately varies the timing and intensity of its vibration rather than holding a steady pattern. 13 modes, 5 of them app only, at $279 against $199 for the F2S it follows. On SEXTECHGUIDE.

SexLikeReal rebuilt Build Your Own Journey as a full video editor inside the site. A creator with more than 250 Journeys on the old system called the new interface "way too complicated by comparison". SLR says a code editing mode is coming. Story on SEXTECHGUIDE.

Twin We-Vibe motors, strong and rumbly, in a body our reviewer found hard to grip and buttons that need real force to press. The Arcwave Zing scores 4.4 out of 10 at $149. Arcwave supplied the unit. Full review on SEXTECHGUIDE.
