On a recent trip to Berlin, Alex Lomas’ acquaintance posed him a challenge: Can you find a Bluetooth-enabled butt plug in the wild, and can you turn it on without its owner’s help? Lomas, a penetration tester with the British cybersecurity firm Pen Test Partners, pulled out his phone, consulted the detection app LightBlue, and quickly identified a Lovense Hush, purportedly “the most powerful vibrating buttplug on the market,” that Lomas says was nestled in the rear end of a stranger. What’s more, that Hush was vulnerable, open to hacking by anyone who knew how.

As the world hurtles toward total app-connectivity, the gap between what our devices could do and what the law can address widens, particularly with teledildonics—or, sex tech that you can control remotely, over the internet. A sex toy hacking situation like the one Lomas identified isn’t likely to occur outside a lab, but linking a vibrator to the internet opens up the possibility that it might, and we should be ready to discuss it.

Sleep tight.
 
Someone posted a video of a guy using his phone to control his girls vibrator in a restaurant. Its kinda hot.
 
In the Bright World of the Future, many of us will be embedded with circuitry to allow conscious control of the autonomic nervous system and other other parts of human physiology normally only accessible after years of yogic meditation.

Alas, embedded circuitry can be hacked. Imagine your own body, hacked, taken over by hostile or humorous agents. Y'know, like demonic possession, or the alien controllers in SilverBob's VISITORS, only now it's nerds with souped-up game consoles, punching your buttons, playing with your homeostasis and hormones and emotional biochemistry.

Hacking sex toys? Ha. No, hack the whole person. That's so entertaining.
 
I've downloaded the app and will look for anyone with a butt vibe on the way home in the subway.
