The Sex Tech Revolution: What Sex Toys Will Look Like by 2030

Welcome to the future of feeling good. As of 2025, the sex tech industry is worth over £33.8 billion worldwide, and it’s growing fast, really fast — around 12.6% every year through 2030 (Statista, 2025). What used to be a hush-hush topic is now pretty much a part of everyday wellness, and tech is playing a huge role in that shift.

The biggest game-changer? Smart toys that think for you. From vibrators that learn your patterns to strokers that move and adjust in real time, we’re no longer talking about basic vibrations. AI (Artificial Intelligence) and app-connected toys are letting people customize their experience in a whole new way. Items like the Autoblow AI Ultra use real data to feel just like the real thing — it's actually a robot for your meat and two veg, and yes, it's a real thing.

This rise in smart tech also means toys are looking a lot more polished. Most now come in discreet, modern designs that wouldn’t look out of place next to your phone charger. You can find them in Apple-style stores and even mainstream online shops like RaptureWorks, with collections for vibrators, male sex toys, bondage gear and more. 

Even better? These sex toys are built with real people in mind — all ages, all genders, all bodies, all vibes (pun intended). With brands like Lelo, OhMiBod, and Autoblow leading the charge, these once basic toys are turning into smart, inclusive gadgets you actually want to use — and talk about.

So by 2030? Expect less “adult store” awkwardness and more tech-savvy fun — because the future of sex toys is smart, inclusive, and already here.

Smart Toys, Smarter Pleasure: How AI Is Learning What You Like

We’ve got smart fridges and smart watches — and now, smart sex toys too. In 2025, sex toys don’t just buzz anymore. They’re made with AI, so they learn what feels good for you and change how they work while you’re using them in real time. These devices have special sensors to track how hard, fast, or soft you like things, helping give you a better orgasm each time you use them (Future of Sex, 2024).

One example is the Kiiroo Titan, a male vibrator that has nine super powerful vibrating motors and reacts to how you move and grip it. You can even connect it to partner toys or watch interactive videos with it. Kiiroo says 68% of people who use the Titan feel stronger orgasms after just a few times, due to the toy’s real-time feedback technology (Kiiroo, 2025).

Another one is the Lelo F1s V2X. It uses something called SenSonic™ technology, which sends deep sound waves and reads how your body responds. It changes how it feels based on what your body likes best. Lelo calls it a "pleasure trainer" because it helps you learn what feels good using real biometric feedback from your body (Lelo, 2025).

Pretty insane right?

So what’s next? Industry experts think that by 2030, these smart toys might connect to modern wearables like Fitbits or smart rings. That means your sex toy could know if your heart is beating fast, if you’re stressed, or even what mood you’re in — and change how it works to help you feel better. A toy that knows when you need some comfort? That’s real future tech.

With more remote control vibrators and male vibrators being made, one thing’s clear: orgasms are becoming more intense, smarter, and more tuned in to you.

Love Without Borders: The Future of Long-Distance Connection

Love can be tricky sometimes — but staying close doesn’t have to be. In 2025, long-distance sex toys (also called ‘teledildonics’) help people feel connected, even when they’re far apart. Whether you live in different cities or on different continents, these smart sex toys let couples feel each other in real time, from anywhere.

Top brands like OhMiBod, Lelo, Kiiroo, and Hot Octopuss all make amazingly cool ways to stay close. The OhMiBod Fuse rabbit vibrator connects to an app, so you can link it with your partner’s — or even with live videos. It has lights and sensors that react to touch, making it fun and super personal. 

For something a little more low-key, the Lelo Tiani 3 is a wearable massager made for couples to use during video calls or across time zones. Want stronger vibes? Try the Hot Octopuss Pulse Solo Essential or Kiiroo Couples Sets—they bring big power and seriously smart tech for both alone time and partner fun.

Now, the tech behind these devices is getting way smarter than just matching vibrations. Haptic gloves — like the ones made by HaptX and Eros VR — are being tested to copy how real touch feels through devices. They’re still pretty new, but scientists are working hard to make them real (HaptX, 2025).

And by 2030? We might see toys that work with AR (augmented reality) and VR (virtual reality). Imagine seeing your partner or adult star as a 3D hologram, with real-time movement and even full-body suits that let you ‘feel’ them. It sounds wild, but it’s already starting.

Teledildonics isn’t just about fun toys — it’s how love keeps going strong in the digital age. And the best part? It’s only getting better. Way better.

Better for You, Better for the Planet: The Feel-Good Future of Sex Tech

Sex toys in 2025 are about more than just how they feel — they’re also about what they stand for. People want things that match their values, like being kind to the planet and including everyone, no matter their body, gender or identity. It’s an important issue in this day and age.

More people now want eco-friendly sex toys that are safe and don’t harm the Earth. The Womanizer Eco is one example — it uses special Biolene® shells that break down over time, along with recyclable boxes. It still works great, just without the harmful waste (Womanizer, 2025). People are also choosing toys that are free from toxic stuff like phthalates — and companies are finally listening. It’s not only great for your body, but for the environment too.

Being inclusive is also becoming normal (thankfully!). More toys are being made for all kinds of bodies, including trans, non-binary, and disabled people. For example, the Bump’n Joystick was made by people with limited movement, and brands like Handi Health focus on making pleasure easier for everyone. This is a really fantastic idea, as the industry we could say has been slacking slightly on these kinds of products.

People are also exploring their gender in many cool ways — with Cross Dressing gear, like the Gender X Stand to Pee, the Alter Ego Open Vagina Brief, or Wearable Breasts. These aren’t just for fun — they help people feel more like themselves. Plus, they look and feel great!

And what’s next? By 2030, people will want toys that are carbon-neutral, with labels showing how they were made, where, and by who. Kind of like the labels on your food — but for sex toys. You’d want to know what you’re putting into your body – whether food or otherwise!

In short, sex toys are growing and expanding in many positive ways. People want them to feel good, look good, and do good too. And the companies that understand that? They’re leading the future — one smart toy at a time.

Built to Last (and Look Good): Why Premium Toys Are the Future

In 2025, luxury sex toys aren’t just fancy — they’re seriously strong, pretty, and better for the planet. People want toys that don’t just work for one night, but for many years. Some even say they’d keep them forever.

A great example is nJoy’s stainless steel butt plugs. These amazing creations are heavy, powerful, and super strong — kind of like the cast iron pans of the sex toy world. They last a long time and are easy to clean. The nJoy Pure Plug 2.0 is one of our favourites because it works well, feels great, and will never wear out.

Stainless steel dildos are also a big deal right now. Toys like Le Wand Swerve and the nJoy Pure Wand not only look beautiful, but perform well too. You can warm or cool them like other stainless-steel sex toys, and you can be sure it’ll last a life time. They’re so pretty, some might even display them as art! Similarly, the Crystal G Wand from Le Wand also fits into this category.

LELO makes all kinds of super high-end vibrators that last a long time, too. They’re shaped to fit the body, made from safe materials, and can be recharged instead of thrown away. This is way better than using batteries. Their items even come with lengthy warranties — showing they’re made to keep working, and you’ll only have to buy once.

Away from dildos and vibrators, fun brands like Pipedream are improving. They’re known for their amazing hyper-realistic feel, and male masturbators like the Pipedream Extreme Fuck Me Silly Man and Bubble Butt are now made with better materials than before, so they last longer. There are some seriously real feeling toys out there, just take a look at Fleshlight and RaptureWorks collection of pocket pussies.

Looking ahead to 2030, people might start calling these toys “heirloom pleasure tools.” That means they’re made to last a lifetime, and maybe even get passed down (in some cases). Toys will be made from polished steel, smooth silicone, or even handmade and custom designs. Shoppers want fewer things — but they want those things to be really good. So the future of sex toys is all about strong, beautiful products that work great and stick around.

Where We’ve Been, and Where We’re Going

Looking ahead to 2030, one thing is clear: sex tech is moving at 100 miles an hour — and it’s not just about cool gadgets anymore. We’re seeing smart toys that learn what you like, toys that help couples feel close even when they’re far apart, and brands that care about the planet and people. The future of pleasure is smart, connected, and kind.

In 2025, luxury sex toys aren’t just shiny or expensive. They’re made to last, using strong materials like stainless-steel and super soft silicone from top brands like LELO and nJoy. These products look perfect and work even better. At the same time, more people are choosing eco-friendly and inclusive toys, helping everyone feel welcome and cared for.

To show how much has changed (and what’s coming next), we made a little infographic that shows 120 years of sex toy evolution.

👇 From Vibes to Virtual — 120 Years of Sex Toy Innovation 👇

You’ll see how the very first vibrator in 1902 led to today’s app-controlled vibrators. We also highlight cool changes in materials — like silicone and stainless steel — and how the market is expected to grow to £61.5 billion by 2030.

This isn’t just a small trend anymore. It’s a big, exciting movement — and the next big leap in pleasure might already be in your nightstand drawer.
