In all seriousness, somebody needs to disrupt internet porn again. If you trying and look for it on google all you get is shitty "tube" websites full of autoplaying livejasmin ads and links that go round in circles. The content is terrible too, either staged "reality" BS , stuff designed to shock more than titilate, unwatchable crap made with a smartphone or weird softcore stuff that tries to be "arty" or "feminist".

I believe https://makelovenotporn.tv/ tries to fill that space a bit. It's definitely good quality and isn't limited to the very softcore movies even if the name suggests otherwise.

Thanks for that testimonial - much appreciated :) Anyone interested can read more about what we're building on our blog: http://talkabout.makelovenotporn.tv/ + email cindy@makelovenotporn.tv and I'll fast-track you into beta (we hope to be able to take the site out of beta next month).

cough Have already urged @scanlime to do this, but anyone else, as and when you hack your vagina - or penis, we're totally equal-opportunity :) - please do submit your (or your friends') #realworldsex video demo to https://makelovenotporn.tv/ (with our revenue-sharing business model, you could make a nice chunk of change :))

What we need is a Kickstarter for this stuff, or some sort of prize or bounty system. I don't even know how long I've been reading about individuals online trying to design Random Vibrators (changing speeds in an un-learnable pattern to prevent acclimation, obviously not as simple as sending random numbers to the motor) and various individuals claiming to have homebrewed the even more legendary Intelligent Vibrator (…

In terms of kickstarters for adult stuff, there's 2 already. http://offbeatr.com/ http://www.passionateproduce.com/ And companies like lovepalz ( http://lovepalz.com ) and vibease ( http://vibease.com , where the hell ARE you in this thread, Dema! I know it's like stupid AM over in Singapore but get on here and market, damnit :) ) are co-opting the "kickstarter look" even though they aren't running as actual crowdfun…

Ahem, don't forget to talk to me and my team about our sex tech startup...:) http://www.xbiz.com/news/156181

Ah yes, pre emptively insulting anyone that disagrees with you. A fine debate tactic if there ever was one. Look, we really really don't need every single Goddamn topic that involves females to turn into an ultrafeminist soapbox. At the very least it seems to attract a certain amount of crazy negativity (see SRS on Reddit), at best it's highly offtopic. This is Hacker News, not Feminist News. Here you're judged by th…

"Unchecked privilege" isn't an insult.

Speak for yourself.

Sure may be. On that note, have there been any non-linkbaity titles on HN in, well, as long as one may remember?

Sure there is, a quick look shows: Scientists See Promise in Deep-Learning Programs Machine Learning: Neural Network vs Support Vector Machine Suite of 300 icons for web and user interface design But you are right that there is a lot of link-baitiness on HN. Doesn't mean we can't wish for better.

Who would have thought this title was link bait?

I'm not a radical feminist in the sense of "intercourse is rape" but hmmm... I think I have body modification phobia - so that would include women getting breast implants - and also exhibitionist phobia and also pull-the-wool-over-your-eyes phobia. (Although quite frankly, I wasn't fooled for long just based on the extremely masculine technical writing. I have never read anything that a woman wrote that looks remotel…

Wait, first you say you're irritated that the OP wasn't "open" about being trans (where, I assume, by "open" you mean "announce it inside the very blog post", cause it's pretty obvious from e.g. the contact page). Then, you say you're annoyed by "queer people making a point about their sexuality". Now, the OP did not make a point about her sexuality in the blog post (1). You complained that she didn't. And then she d…

We all tend to sound like idiots when we're outside our area of competence or familiarity. Realize that the vast majority of people have no personal experience with trans etc. people, beyond what they've seen in the movies / read about.

This is not meant to excuse hatred, but there should be some tolerance for confusion due to unfamiliarity. It's simply not something that most people have spent a lot of time thinking about.

Really cool! Is reverse engineering the wireless protocol easy? I imagine hacking hardware involves a lot more work than software. I also love how she 3d printed out some plastic cases for her toy. I see cheap 3d printers eventually being so ubiquitous that a quick prototype may be just as easy to hack up as a working software program.

How about a web-based design tool that lets you make a custom case, which will then be 3d-printed on demand? Alternatively, you could accept customer uploads of certain 3D design formats.

There's gotta be a market for this.

Why does any article focusing on women's experience have to have someone come along and say 'it's hard for us men'?

I sympathize with that point, but there's more to it than "what about teh menz?" The question is this: is this doing well on HN because HN is full of progressive-minded feminists upvoting a neat DIY project on its merits, or is it doing well on HN because it serves as fodder for the nerd-girl fantasies of a primarily male readership? I really think this is an important point that often gets missed on male dominated s…

Are you literally retarded or just trolling? If the former, go back to jebezel with the other sluts and never come back.
