The Wii of porn. And I do mean wheeee!

"Is watching porn on a TV screen or computer monitor boring? Are you finding it's just not as fun as it used to be? Well, the folks at the Adult Entertainment Broadcast Network have got something for you! Presenting the Real Touch, the new sex toy that brings porn alive!"

I imagine that's something like what the sales pitch for AEBN's Real Touch would go like. Actually, to see the real sales pitch, check out this video:



In a nutshell, the Real Touch is a toaster-sized device that you hook up to your computer and then stick on your wang. The device syncs with specially coded movies, replicating the action seen on screen, so it feels like you're actually... y'know... doing it. It uses the same haptic technology that makes our cellphones and video game controllers vibrate. I interviewed AEBN founder Scott Coffman yesterday and he told me the device is his company's big play against the movement to free porn (perhaps even more so than Hollywood, the adult industry is hurting from piracy). The Real Touch, which will sell for $150 US starting this spring, is not exactly something you can replicate for free, he said. Moreover, Coffman has ambitious plans for the device: "I'm hoping Real Touch does for AEBN what the Wii did for Nintendo. We’re hoping to change the model," he said.

It's funny, but I can't help but think about something quasi-similar being done by D-Box, a Montreal-based company. Although D-Box's motion-synced chairs have nothing to do with porn, the company is also trying to bring interactivity to movies.
