STARTHAM, N.H.—Sex tech manufacturer OhMiBod celebrates its 15th anniversary this month, and to commemorate the occasion it has launched a "Love Language" writing contest seeking short stories, poems or other written submissions on love and intimacy.
OhMiBod was first known as the creator of the original music-driven vibrator—also called the iPod® vibrator—offering the ability to sync to mp3 players and allow users to “feel the music” by pulsing along with the beat and rhythm of their favorite songs.
“Creating the original OhMiBod was about more than finding a fresh take on adult pleasure products. We also wanted to create a socially acceptable vibrator that would help break the stigma around the human right of self pleasure. Nothing about our mission has changed,” said founder Suki Dunham.
The OhMiBod Classic was followed by products such as the Club Vibe, Freestyle, blueMotion and Lovelife lines, which garnered honors ranging from the prestigious Red Dot Design award to “Best of CES” and lead to collaborations with other sex tech innovators. The company also created OhMiBod Remote, a mobile app that allows users to connect with one another and share intimate experiences from anywhere in the world.
Frequently showcasing these products and functionality at the annual International Consumer Electronics Show has allowed OhMiBod to bring sex tech into the mainstream. OhMiBod was the first pleasure products manufacturer at CES, making its debut in 2010.
“Our inclusion at CES has played a pivotal role in our becoming not only a global brand but also the engine driving the evolution of technology for sexual health and wellness,” added Dunham. “Fifteen years ago, we could not have foreseen the positive impact our products and philosophy would make on people around the world. It is a humbling reminder not only of how far we have come but also how hard we and others in the industry have worked to deliver sex-positive products that help people explore, discover and grow their passions, while also improving their physical and mental health.”
The "Love Language" contest invites storytellers to pen pieces on intimate connections either romantic or platonic, with a friend, lover, partner or oneself. Prizes include a $1,000 writing scholarship, OhMiBod products and online exposure. To learn more click here.
