If using a sex toy designed by an aerospace engineer is intriguing to you, you can be sure your pleasure is in good hands with The Handy. (Well technically it’s a hands-free device, but you get it!). In the realm of male sex toys, few are as sleek, discreet, and compact as this device. Although there are still a lot of stigmas connected to toy use and ownership for men, the Norwegian government is helping to power their success. Enter The Handy, an upscale automatic stroker designed and developed by OhDoki, a Norwegian company that has its headquarters in Oslo, Norway.
The prototype of the Handy masturbator was created in 2017 by a young cybernetics engineer, Alexander Bjorkmann. If you are curious about what kind of background someone who engineers the best masturbator on the market has, we are happy to report that Mr. Bjorkmann used to make remote-controlled weapon systems for a living. Formerly a student of Cybernetics Engineering at Oslo University, this is a man who knows how to complete the mission. Bjorkmann isn’t alone in his craft, he met with co-founders JP Wilhelmsen and Nicolay Bang during the autumn of 2017 and OhDoki was established. In 2018, the founding trio perfected the design, mechanics, electronics, and software of the product.
The thrust speed, which is placed at 10 strokes per second (or an impressive 600 strokes/minute), makes the device the fastest automatic masturbator on the market. The movements are smooth and fluid, and feel just like real sex, thanks to the superb design of the stretchy inner sleeve. When it comes to the Handy’s design, the SweetTech AS team intentionally avoided any sexual or erotic imagery for the final look of their product. At the early stages, before its entry to the market, the founders realized that sexually explicit designs on male masturbator tools could be embarrassing for some users and enforce the old stigmas against sex toys. Hence, the respectable consensus to stick to a simple but sleek look. Currently the Handy masturbating machine is only available in one color, which is charcoal black. Subsequent models may see the device available in more colors.
Beyond the fast speed and noiseless capability of the Handy, probably the most exciting feature of the masturbator is its video synchronization, remote control, and IoT technology. To give the Handy IoT capability, the developers equipped the masturbator with a dual-core processor together with WIFI and Bluetooth functionality. Users can enjoy the device offline, they can connect it to online porn sites, and they can engage in remote sex play with a partner. The possibilities are endless with the Handy. All a Handy user has to do is to share their secret code with their partner at which point their playmate can use their smartphone to tease, play or control the movements of the Handy device from anywhere in the world.
Sex and masturbation mean different things to everyone, from pleasure to self-acceptance and fulfillment to — ultimately — fun. The health aid aspect of devices like the Handy should not be overlooked. From people with health issues to long distance relationships, these toys have a wide market and are bridging the gap between capabilities which were previously unattainable for some. And that’s the Handy’s principle purpose: becoming the best sex-tech available and delivering fun and pleasure while reducing stigma. So much so that the Handy even has government backing from the Norwegian program called Innovasjon Norge, so if you’re looking for the real deal, you can find it in the Handy!
What does the Handy include?
A complete Handy unit comprises the handle (which houses the motor), the sleeve, and the TrueGrip band. The band is what secures the sleeve to the handle, and the handle is what moves the sleeve up and down during masturbation.The Handy comes with a powerful motor with an extremely fast thrust speed. The brushless motor incorporated in the stroker significantly reduces the noise level of the masturbator compared to any other stroker available…doesn’t this sound even more impressive after hearing the designer worked in aerospace, a true pocket rocket design? It should! Not only did the Handy team consider precision stroking technology, they have created a handful of different interchangeable sleeve attachments to create endless variations of sensation. The Handy Dream Sleeve Collection, consists of sleeves with very tantalizing names like, Pearl, Touch, Lotus, Lips, with names like this you can imagine the endless possibilities.
Did I mention the Handy can also be synced with porn movies online? At first, the only sex clips the device could sync with were clips on HandyFeeling.com. However, the company has partnered with industry behemoth AdultTime to allow Handy users to sync with the thousands of high-quality virtual porn movies on their sites. When online, The Handy synchronizes with the action on a flat screen or VR headset, so what you see is what you feel.
The Handy isn’t just a product for people with male anatomy, the excitement could easily be extended to female customers by lending them a hand in exploring new forms of play and connection with their partner, near or far. Dirty Lola suggests that women can replace the sleeve with the right sized dildo for a hands free experience. In addition to being handy for both partners, another caring aspect of the design of Handy’s tech is the capabilities it offers to people with any motor function limitations or health conditions which might keep them from fully accessing pleasurable possibilities.
