LONDON — Balldo’s Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign launched today, allowing consumers from around the world to pre-order the device for $59.
The company’s founders said that they have been experiencing rapidly increasing interest in Balldo and project selling 400,000 units within the first 12 months of sales.
“We are so thrilled to have launched our Indiegogo campaign, and look forward to meeting the increasing demand for innovation within the sextech space,” said Jerry Davies, CEO and co-founder of the Balldo. “Sex isn’t a one-size-fits-all act, and looks so different from person-to-person. We believe that each person deserves to feel that ultimate pleasure, and in order to get there it sometimes requires you to do something daring — pushing the boundaries and trying new things. The Balldo is the latest innovation in the male sextech realm, and is perfect for those looking to try something new and elevate their bedroom activities.”
Balldo is billed as the world’s first "ball dildo" and promises to give men a “second penis” and a new type of orgasm — a "ballgasm." Its patented design allows users to attach the sheath-like silicone device over their testicles, emulating the shape of a penis and allowing them to be inserted into an orifice. By using the balls for penetrative sex, the Balldo “unlocks another level of pleasure and sensation through the new genre of ‘ballsex,’” the company said.
Balldo is the brainchild of product designers and entrepreneurs Ellie Plasencia and Jerry Davies, who say they were inspired by their own experimental activities in the bedroom and wondered if they could add another layer of fun by incorporating a new method of ball stimulation.
“The 'ballgasm' experience is unique in that the wearer is able to orgasm purely from stimulation via the Balldo — even if the penis is completely untouched and not inserted or stimulated in any way,” Davies said. “In addition, when the balls are inside your partner the brain is unable to distinguish where the stimulation is coming from; it actually feels as if your penis is inside your partner when it actually isn't — this leads to a whole range of very unusual sensations to share with your partner.”
