BURBANK, Calif. — Day Two of ANME was packed with presenters through three separate exhibition areas with a variety of new product that ran the gamut from frivolous fun to the truly hardcore.
At the Creative Conceptions booth, the company introduced a brand new, gender-neutral design for its Paths to Pleasure game. Designed for couples or groups, the game takes players through three different stages of excitement, from "intimate" through "passionate" and into "steamy." Every square a player land on reveals a new intimate question or sensual act designed to bring participants closer together.
“The new design of Paths to Pleasure makes it more accessible,” said the company's Casey Doyle. “It’s both gender-neutral and we’ve made it more suitable for swinger as well as couples.”
Doyle also showed off their new sexual health products from the Skins collection. In particular, they have a new combination male delay and enhancement spray, which will be available in the United States in six months.
“The Skins launch is exciting,” said Doyle. “It’s a great add to our range.”
Not far from the Creative Conceptions booth, Cloud 9 Novelties displayed their latest sex machine, the Portable Power Thruster. With an adjustable angle, multiple attachment head dildos and extended length stability handles, the machine’s lightweight design and stability suction cups make it easy to transport and easy to attach to any flat surface.
Cloud 9 also displayed a range of realistic pussy and ass body molds. Available in various skin colors, the body mold strokers include a sexy fishnet body stocking and realistic coloring of the vagina stroker.
“I can’t tell you how long it took us to settle on a shade,” remarked Cloud 9’s Rachael McCarthy about the color.
McCarthy also showed off their flexi-massager, anal/clitoral/nipple stimulators, flutter vibes and nipple and clitoral massager suction sets. All available in either teal or plum color, she was particularly enthused about the nipple stimulators.
“I really like the new nipple one,” she said. “There are just so many to choose from, though!”
Elsewhere, XBIZ was introduced to 665 Leather’s new app-controlled chastity device, the CellMate. A penis sleeve designed to be locked and controlled remotely, the device can remain locked for anywhere from a minute to a year. The battery lasts up to 12 months. The specially designed companion app allows the keymaster to control up to 50 "CellMates" at a time, from anywhere in the world.
“This allows you to purchase one and let someone else, anywhere on the planet, control your chastity,” said 665’s Chris Duarte.
Duarte notes they are currently working on a female version for which they expect to have exclusive U.S. distribution soon.
From there, XBIZ moved over to the Velvet booth, where they displayed their thrusting dildo. Along with their Mini Thruster, they’re also introducing both an extra-length thruster and a G-spot thruster. All three feature six adjustable speeds, bendable shafts and rechargeable batteries. They’re waterproof, made of medical-grade silicone, and each offer 2.3 inches of thrusting penetration at a rate of 128 stroke per minute. All are available in both teal and plum.
At the Tenga booth, they showed off their new rechargeable Iroha vibrator. The increase in both speed and intensity was sizeable, in comparison with their former battery powered model. The new Iroha’s are expected to be available by March 1.
Tenga also displayed their Flip Series male pleasure orbs. The Flip Series devices feature a flip-open structure to allow for easy cleaning and re-useability.
“All of our products are anatomically made,” explained Tenga’s Haruka Tanagi.
Next up was ID Lubricants, where Selena Weber talked about their hybrid silicone/water-based lubes.
“We’ve made our products more unisex,” said Weber. She then showed XBIZ their range of lubes, including everything from their luxurious silicone-based Velvet line to their lighter, water-based, fruit-flavored lubes, Fruitopia. They’re also offering new glycerin- and paraben-free water-based lubes, in both their Moments and Hero lines.
The final stop was at the Golyta booth, where Tony Lam and Wink Wells showed off their Glitter, Hauty and iCollection lines of intimate sleepwear. Glitter is focused on a more exciting, fun, young audience, while Hauty “is all about female empowerment,” said Lam.
Well added, “iCollection is a much more classic look of lingerie.”
As the day wound down, XBIZ made its way over to the Casino Night event, where, in a dimly lit tent, attendees relaxed even as some players managed to lose over 300 “dollars” in fun chips at the roulette and blackjack tables.
