'Sex selfie stick gets internet buzzing

An adult toy company has found a way to combine sex with the self-portraiture tool everyone loves to hate. Hey, it was only a matter of time.

Device combines vibrator, camera

Museums may be cracking down onselfiesticks, but theres nobody stopping you from using one to capture the activity in your bedroom.

Some might even say that this very thing is being encouraged right now, based on how much the webis buzzing about the invention of a "sexselfiestick camera vibrator."

Yes, it's true. An American adult toy company has found a way to combine sex with the self-portraiture tool everyone loves to hate.

It was only a matter of time.

The product, developed bySvakomUSA, is officiallycalled the "GagaSelfieCamera Vibrator" (though it's more commonly being referred to by media outlets right now as the "sexselfiestick.")

Retailing for approximately 119.99 (about $225 CAD) at British adult retailerLoveHoney, the vibrator is 100 per cent waterproof "for shower or bathtub pleasure," holds an eight-hour charge, and is equipped an illuminatedHDcamera for "a clear view of internal contours and response during stimulation."

Essentially, it allows a woman to film orgasms from the inside of her own vagina and then upload the footage to asmartphoneor computer, if shes so inclined.

And for those who want to stream live video from their intimateselfiestick, its also compatible with ApplesFaceTime.

"Whether you use it alone or with your partner, get to know your body in its beautiful entirety thanks to the remarkably clearfootablethis camera captures," reads the products description on LoveHoney.co.uk. "Thanks to itsFaceTimecompatibility, sharing the view with your lover couldnt be easier, whether youre sat right next to each other, or miles apart."

The website also mentions that the vibrator is hypoallergenic,ecofriendly, body-safe and completely sold out.

While not everyone writing about the sexselfiestick seems taken with the idea of erotic "endoscopic exploration" (to borrowSvakomswords,)it makes sense that this vibrator is flying off the shelves.

LoveHoneysYouTube video on the product has racked up hundreds of thousands of views since Monday, when The Independent ran a feature on the product, going from just a few thousand clicks to nearly one million by Wednesday afternoon.
