Imagine the frustration you experience when you get a cool new tech gadget and then can’t get it to run any of its software. Now imagine that you’ve bought the coolest interactive sex toy, but it won’t sync up with the POV (point of view) video you want to enjoy it with.
The people at FeelXVideos.com feel your pain. Their $14.95 monthly membership site supports interactive sex toys (‘Teledildonics’) like The Handy and those made by Kiiroo, like Keon and the Onyx+. The site now has over 3000 videos, with more than 150 new videos added monthly. Participating porn stars include Lisa Ann, Romi Rain, and Tanya Tate, among others. FeelXVideos.com also sells the teledildonics devices it supports.
Along with FeelVRPorn.com, FeelXVideos is owned and operated by Datoro Media. “We like to say that we are revolutionizing the way people interact with porn,” said company founder and CEO Ivo Abels. “Our main niche is interactive porn and our focus is on the quality of the content that we provide for our users.”
FeelXVideos.com bills itself as “the largest selection of high-quality, x-rated interactive porn videos anywhere online.” But what really makes this website stand out is its dedication to making sure its content works on users’ interactive sex toys. In other words, FeelXVideos takes customer satisfaction very, very seriously.
To achieve this goal, FeelXVideos starts by ensuring that its content syncs up properly with its supported interactive sex toys. This is achieved by adding ‘subtitles; to the videos that instruct the connected sex toy how to act in line with what’s being shown onscreen. “We are very careful with the quality of our subtitles,” Abels noted. “We do it manually with a team of subtitlers, so that our videos sync perfectly with a large number of high-tech interactive sex toys.”
Selling supported sex toys is a second way to ensure customer satisfaction, as well as to generate extra income. “For us, it makes sense to offer supported interactive sex toys, especially since we tested all of them with our videos to make sure we rule out every possible bug,” said Abels. “Tech support is very important to keep our clients. We answer every question our users have and we take all of their desires into consideration.”
FeelXVideos’ video library is a mix of its own custom-created content and non-exclusive content licensed from other distributers. “The diversity of our content is something that makes us different,” Abels told YNOT. “Our users have a big role in our content selection as well. They come with suggestions that we always listen to.”
This said, not all porn plays well with interactive sex toys. “First of all, there has to be penetration,” said Abels. “We cannot subtitle videos that do not have penetration because with no stroking, the sex toy cannot move. Next, POV videos work the best. Most of our videos are POV because this is the main requirement of our users. The third important element is the engagement of the porn stars. The interactive porn videos that work best are the ones in which the porn star involves the user in the action. If the porn star looks bored and the action feels forced, that video won’t do the trick.”
One final challenge is subtitling videos that have more than one male in them, because “the sex toy can only copy one thrusting movement,” Abels said. “In the coming feature this might change and our users might be able to choose in a FMM threesome for example, which one of the two males they want their sex toy to copy.”
Looking forward, Ivo Abels foresees a great future for FeelXVideos and its focus on supporting interactive sex toys, as consumers start to understand how they work and shed their misconceptions about these products.
“Probably the biggest misconception about interactive sex toys is that they cannot copy the reality, and users will not feel like they are right there into the action. This changes once they try it for the first time,” he said. “Another misconception is they fear it is too complicated to connect a sex toy to our platform. This is not true: We have a guide and information that can help them through every step so that they can successfully complete the connection. They can also contact us on our support or our social media platforms and we always answer as soon as possible.”
