It was banned from attending the ever popular Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, but this year sex tech was allowed back in and created quite the buzz in the showroom.
These erotic devices were showcased in the health and wellness section of the Sands Expo and included hand-free vibrators, a live sperm cam and even a booth that let attendees build their own sex toy.
Organizers were so impressed with the success of sex tech this year that they are considering moving the section from a small corner to a prime location in the Las Vegas Convention Center, a source told the New York Post reported.
Creators say their products are about empowerment for women, something they claim has often been overlooked in tech – and especially at the historically male-dominated tech trade show.

The vibrator is equip with a USB-connected circuit board that lets users program vibration patterns via a web app, according to PC Magazine.
Each person received a kit that included the circuit board, motor with vibration arms, silicone cover for the motor, body case, and caps and button covers.
These sex technologies and others were allowed back to CES on a one-year trial, following criticism of many female founders.
The historically male-dominated tech trade show has come under fire over the past years for having an all-male lineup of speakers and for previously allowing scantily clad ‘booth babes,’ fostering a ‘boys’ club’ reputation.
Besides allowing sex tech, CES organizers brought in an official ‘equality partner,’ The Female Quotient, to help ensure gender diversity.
