Abstract

A vibratory massaging device having a spaced plurality of proximity sensors distributed on a massaging surface of the device, and a control circuit operative for controlling vibratory intensities in response to activation of particular ones of the sensors being close to a user's body parts being massaged. The device can be configured as a dildo, including both main and secondary vibrators, the secondary vibrator being within an arm portion that is configured for clitoral stimulation. At least one of the vibrators is automatically driven at increased intensity as penetration increases.

Claims (22)

1. A sex toy device comprising:

a housing;

a motor;

a control circuit;

a power source;

a control button for activation of the control circuit; and

a proximity sensor located in an insertable portion of the device that produces signals to the control circuit; wherein the speed of the motor varies in response to the signals, and wherein the device is arranged such that the proximity sensor automatically produces the signals in response to the proximity sensor coming into close proximity with a user's body part.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises a flexible material.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the proximity sensor comes into close proximity with the user's body parts by the user bending, grasping, squeezing, shaking, swiping, stretching, touching, or compressing the device.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the proximity sensor is a capacitive touch sensor.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the speed of the motor is varied to produce different levels of vibration.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the power source comprises a battery.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein the battery is rechargeable.

8. A method comprising:

activation of a sensor on an insertable portion of the device of claim 1 , wherein the sensor is automatically activated by coming into close proximity with a user's body part;

signaling a control circuit in response to activation of the sensor; and

altering the speed of a motor in response to activation of the control circuit.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the sensor is a proximity sensor.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the method is performed in response to using a sex toy.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the sensor is activated by bending, grasping, squeezing, shaking, swiping, stretching, touching, or compressing the device.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the sensor is a capacitive touch sensor.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the speed of the motor is varied to produce vibration.
