The Ultimate Interactive Sex Toy Buyers Guide:
The Best Toys & How To Use Them

Written by: Don Watson | Updated: February 25th, 2020

Technological advances and the various sex industries have always been very intertwined. In fact, many people attribute the adoption of VHS over Betamax as well as DVD over Blu-Ray to be largely connected to which medium is favored by porn companies.

That means it was just a matter of time before sex toy tech meaningfully began to integrate with pornography.

Sure, you could always just use a sex toy while doing everything else normally porn wise, but that's just masturbation with extra steps. We're looking for actual interactive porn. Gimmicks not tolerated, etcetera. 

I've been following the trends in sex toy releases very closely for about three years now and when I started I would consider virtual reality porn or anything really interactive to be in an infant stage.

Recently some good advancements have been made and I'd say the development of interactive porn tech in general has reached an adolescent stage. 

So while I still think there's a long way for some of these toys to go that doesn't mean they haven't already came further than most people who've tried.

Let's go over what kind of content I'm talking about and then the toys that push the limits of teledildonic play:

Why Should You Care About Interactive Sex Toys?

As it stands there are about a half dozen different toys that can be paired to a phone via Bluetooth connection and then completely remotely controlled either by the remote or by content accessed via the phone connection. It's a simple process in my experience where it's just about scanning a QR code after making a Bluetooth connection work.

What has impressed me the most is how specific automatic male masturbators can be in delivering stimulation mimicking a porn scene in real time. Don't get me wrong, two years ago some of the toys I tried could barely keep up although I knew they had the basic strokes figured out. Since there's been constant improvements in general tech (especially battery power), recently these toys are starting to probably have more RAM than what we sent to the Moon in '72.

Interactive porn with the newer toys that have a high fidelity reproduction of movements on screen is a completely new experience. For me, I actually completely disregarded my normal tastes in porn and exclusively went for videos where it looked like the two performers were enjoying themselves and going all out. It takes a lot to get me off my familiar tags on the Hub most of the time.

So far I've seen air pumps, vibrators, autojackers, blowjob machines, and just about every different direction of play added into a toy in some way or another.

Out of all the ones I've tried, these are the ones that seem to always survive my bi-annual sex toy spring cleaning:

The Best Interactive Male Sex Toys

1. The Kiiroo Keon

In my books no toy does the whole Bluetooth shenanigans better than the Keon. A huge part of that is because the toy goes all the way in trying to be a compact and affordable hands free experience. That was a mouthful, but to put things in simpler terms its a machine that jacks you off by actually moving the toy up and down. The proto-Keon was the Fleshlight Launch (now discontinued minus the Quickshot version), the new Keon polishes the design to get rid of some of the messier aspects the original Launch had.

It's way more comfortably shaped, nearly half the size & weight, and inserting the stroker itself is engineered way better with a proper locking mechanism and a much more precise motor. The biggest upgrades over time for this type of male masturbator has consistently been raw battery power as well as how quickly it can reverse on a dime for targeted stimulation.


When I first started there wasn't really a lot of free interactive content, luckily my toy came with a free month for FeelMe videos at the time however I'm not certain that promotion is still in play. They had mostly older scenes and there was kind of a lack for good content.


Now even PornHub has at least 6-8 pages for most of the popular tags out there which ends up being a few hundred videos. Out of any of the toys I've ever used, the Keon keeps up with the action the best.

In my books no toy does the whole Bluetooth shenanigans better than the Keon. A huge part of that is because the toy goes all the way in trying to be a compact and affordable hands free experience.

3. The Kiiroo Titan

Both the Fleshlight Quickshot Launch are pretty much the absolute premier sex toys, but not everyone wants to go straight for the top-of-the-line choice. A much more affordable option, the Kiiroo Titan has nine interior vibrators spread throughout the length of the toy.

These vibrators are meant to work in tandem with manual stroking and have quite a few different settings in and of themselves. As far as interactive content goes what will change is the vibration intensity as well as which vibrators themselves are working overtime. In this way, most of the pleasure is more localized with a matching intensity to the porn scene being watched.

It's definitely not getting any points for realism or any over the top technology advancements. That doesn't mean it's not a worthwhile toy in my books at the same time.

Out of all interactive male masturbators, the Titan is by far the most accessible. With its fair pricing when compared to similar toys and the fact that just about anyone could easily figure out the whole toy in no time, it's the easiest way to try out some VR or interactive content with a little extra oomph.

The sleeve inside is fairly tight and has a consistent ribbing throughout. I enjoy how the ribs move with the vibration intensity but do wish there was more options for controlling airflow. Whenever I need a no-frills, race-to-the-finish type experience the Titan always does me just wonderfully.


The Best Interactive Female Sex Toys

1. The Kiiroo Pearl 2

Toys for women that have access to interactive content are much more scarce than the already hard to find male versions. My wife used the Kiiroo Pearl 2 with our VR headset not that long ago and here's what she had to say:

The Pearl 2 connects easily with the Bluetooth FeelConnect app and there's a fair bit of content that can be accessed free of charge. Since the Pearl 2 is a vibrator the only real differences in settings that can be felt would be how deeply the vibrations run down the body of the toy and how intense they are. 

Pretty much no toy outside of a sex machine will fully replicate the thrusting of sex, so its worth noting that out of all vibrators there are to choose for this job, the Pearl 2 is probably the most qualified.

It has some of the most powerful motor tech in any toy I've laid hands on. The biggest benefits don't even come from using it at max power in my experience. The fact that the toy is so powerful ends up translating into it being very precise in different intensity provided as well as just how much of the toy's motor is fully going.

In practical terms that means the interactive content really does have some of the ebbs and flows of real sex & sexual tension, with some scenes I've watched never feeling exactly the same throughout.

How Do I Connect My Toy To Interactive Content?

I've noticed in my time that the process of setting up the toy for some interactive adult fun is fairly straightforward but there isn't a lot of help provided by the manuals all the time. What's most important is to first start by charging your phone as well as your toy and then downloading the relevant app for your smartphone.

The app with the most compatible toys is called FeelConnect and they've worked with Kiiroo, OhMiBod, and We-Vibe in providing a tech infrastructure their toys can communicate with. While a few other companies have their own separate app it's more than likely that for this purpose you're looking for FeelConnect.

How To Use The FeelConnect App

Once you've downloaded FeelConnect the next move is to turn on your toy as well as ensure that your smartphone has Bluetooth enabled.


Open the sidebar and then select "Connect A Device".

 

You might have to wait about 10 seconds or so before your toy pops up.



If it still doesn't you should double-check that the toy is in Bluetooth mode as well as reset your phone's Bluetooth.

After that it's just one more step until the floodgates of porn that wanks back can fully open: once on a site that supports interactive content, there will usually be a button to provide you with a QR code specific to your session. Press the "Add A Website" option on the sidebar and then scan the QR code provided.

Once that's done all you need to do is pick what you want to watch on your PC while FeelConnect handles the rest.

Switching between already recognized devices and websites is a breeze even while mid-session so there really isn't all that much more to worry about when it comes to making sure your device can properly work with the interactive content. I'm really happy that the library of available scenes continues to grow. I'm not quite sure how they set it up to work but I can also tell some of the newer videos are much better programmed than some I tried when this all first started to take off.

Best Places To Find Content For Your Interactive Sex Toy

It isn't really our style to show off straight up pornography, just the toys that often pair great with them. It's still fairly difficult to track down interactive content that you'd feel comfortable giving money to though, so we figured we'd add a few options so anyone curious can at least get started.

FeelVRPorn

FeelVRPorn as well as the regular FeelMe website is the interactive content provider with the most direct ties to the toy manufacturers themselves behind most teledildonic devices. In fact, FeelRobotics (the parent company I assume) has worked with Kiiroo, OhMiBod, and We-Vibe in the past so its likely they've even provided some of the electrical bits themselves.

Their intimate relationship with intimate toy manufacturers seems to have translated into scenes with a lot less jank than other websites.

By that I mean the motions onscreen are much more closely mimicked with next to no input lag. One of the worst feelings ever is device desync with content, thankfully I've yet to run in any issues whatsoever with FeelVRPorn.

Pornhub Interactive

For all of you who would prefer to give things a try before you buy then of course PornHub Interactive has got you covered. For those who can't ever seem to justify to themselves paying for porn, you can bet your bottom dollar the Hub comes up often in their search history. Well, if Incognito Mode didn't exist it would.

The only issue with relying on PornHub is that videos that cater to your specific tastes might be more few and far inbetween than with some of the paid sites that are continually producing new content. Not only that, lots of the content that does make its way there is somewhat dated and likely wasn't programmed with the power of newer toys in mind.

Still, free really is the best price at the end of the day. Just don't treat PornHub Interactive as the be-all-end-all of VR/interactive enabled porn since a lot of the best stuff probably won't ever get fully leaked onto tube sites.

Conclusion

If you're still having any issues getting your teledildonic toy to properly connect don't hesitate to comment below. I've been through all of the Bluetooth troubleshooting and have connected just about every modern toy to the app myself so I've likely ran into your problem and had to fix it myself by this point.

Nothing has ever fully stopped me from enjoying interactive content, its usually just a five minute delay or so depending on if I can find relevant help on the Internet for it. The main reason why I want to emphatically offer my support to anyone having issues is that there still really isn't anywhere you can go for help with this stuff because its so new and, well, porn related.

Either way, I hope everyone reading this article got the information they were looking for!
