Lovehoney Forum's 20th Anniversary Time Capsule

Inside Lovehoney
1

Hey All,

Our community is turning 20 years old this month! That’s two decades of questions asked, advice shared, toys tested, taboos tackled, and breakthroughs celebrated together. To mark the occasion, we’re creating a Time Capsule Thread.

Here’s how it works:

  • The thread will stay open for all of October so everyone has a chance to add their piece.
  • Once the month is over, it’ll be tucked away and hidden.
  • In five years, when we celebrate our 25th anniversary, we’ll reopen it and see what we all had to say.

:lovehoney_heart: What you might share here:

  • Your favorite toy of the moment (and a wild guess about the “must-have” toy of 2030).
  • What you’ve learned about yourself and your body recently.
  • Advice you’d want your future self, or future members, to remember.
  • Sex Toy’s of the future predictions
  • A snapshot of your life right now — your joys, challenges, fantasies, and goals.

When we open this capsule again, we’ll laugh at our predictions, get nostalgic about old favourites, and celebrate how far sexual wellness (and our community) has come.

When we open this capsule again, we’ll laugh at our predictions, get nostalgic about old favourites, and maybe be surprised by how much (or how little) has changed in the world of sex, toys, and ourselves.

So… what do you want future-you, and future-us, to know? :partying_face:

This is a great idea…. I guess I can kick us off

  • Your favorite toy of the moment (and a wild guess about the “must-have” toy of 2030). - Womanizer Next would be my wife’s favourite at the moment, and mine when we are using it together, my choice would be my blow motion toy. must have toy for 2030 will be some kind of womanizer, I have no idea where they will go next pardon the pun… but OMG

  • What you’ve learned about yourself and your body recently. - Don’t take it for granted, I’ve pushed into the middle bracket of the 40’s recently and prob haven’t taken as good care of my fitness as I should so you start to get pains that weren’t there before….

  • Advice you’d want your future self, or future members, to remember. - Everything would be based on 3 things in my opinion Consensual, Communicate, Enjoy!!

  • Sex Toy’s of the future predictions - Will be something like they had in the film demolition man something that you wear on your head and it activates fantasies in your mind as apposed to VR… which then tap into your sexual desires to promote orgasm.

  • A snapshot of your life right now — your joys, challenges, fantasies, and goals. - Watching my mini me’s grow and develop, we’ve hit the next stage of their lives now so I’m excited to see how they grow, work life balance is always a challenge in my eyes, making sure that we balance time for ourselves, my fantasy is for my wife to peg me, still a working progress but maybe we’ll get there, my wife’s is to be intimate on a private beach in the Maldives so I better start saving lol…… My goal is to be happy and healthy…. so as you can see from above I need to work on the one bit but I have a bit between my teeth and will get there.

  • SEE YOU IN 5 YEARS

Your favorite toy of the moment (and a wild guess about the “must-have” toy of 2030)

My Dr Kaplan flickering tongue vibrator. It’s currently out of stock, and it’s little wonder why. I find tongue vibrators a bit hit or miss but that one’s been hitting the spot, everytime :wink:

What you’ve learned about yourself and your body recently

I need to take care of it better. I’m 37, my knees shouldn’t ache just getting up and down from the sofa.

Advice you’d want your future self, or future members, to remember

Be kind and patient with one another, none of us are perfect. Don’t accuse, use “I feel … when you ….” statements, actively listen to your partner and work together on your problems - it cuts out so much tension from your relationships when you learn to communicate properly and work as a team. Laugh together often, love together even more often. Don’t compare your relationship to others, have the one people compare their relationship to. Lastly, never take your partner or yourself for granted, none of us are immortal.

Sex Toy’s of the future predictions

I think something with AI integration is very likely, if indeed it hasn’t been done already. I mean, you can already sext with AI and there are toys that connect to apps, like the We Vibe. I think AI integration with sex toys and dolls is going to become more and more mainstream, in fact, I think AI partners are going to become acceptable as a way for people to explore fantasies and overcome loneliness.

A snapshot of your life right now — your joys, challenges, fantasies, and goals

Right now I need to lose weight, I also need to get my mental health in better shape. I’ve been a bit of a news junkie and I’ve gotten myself into a heightened state of anxiety, but I’m going to use CBT to tackle my catastrophic thinking in the same way I used it to tackle my OCD all those years ago.

My joys, I have some amazing people in my life right now, my two husbands, my family, my dog, Huxley. Also, I recently bought six longfin panda corydora - they might just be my new favourite (tropical) fish!

My fantasies? I’d still really like to explore my medical kink, just to see what’s really behind it and whether it’s a yay or a nay. Having a partner who’s not into it, it kind of stays as one of life’s little mysteries. I’d like to find an affirmative answer!

My goals? The age old to lose weight, and to keep growing the blog. I’ve realised recently (and having reinstalled Yoast SEO) that much of my blog doesn’t have any SEO on my posts and pages - no wonder my traffic struggles sometimes!

A simple message to me in 5 years time - if I’m still single, nows the time to look into married at first sight or get an arranged android partnership!! :sweat_smile:

Also don’t forget to put the pet on charge and feed the house!!

Favourite toy of the moment-easy my dual g spot clit sucker never fails me.

What you have learned about your body and yourself - i can do anything if I put my mind to it. Chocolate is not good for me so ignore it.

Advice you want your future self or future members to remember - make the most of and cherish what and who you have while you can as it or they may not be around in the future.

Sex toys of the future, predictions - an all in one thrusting dildos for the back passage connected to one for the vagina which is connected to a clit sucker, it might exist already but not sure.

A snapshot of your life right now - your joys, challenges, fantasies and goals - My joys are being content with my life, having a loving husband and the fun we have together. challenges are trying to find a solution to my husband’s ed so we can explore more sexually (bondage play, sex swing) losing more weight (now down to size 16 from a size 20) My fantasies are maybe one day moving to the Isle of wight and walking on the beach every day. This would also be one of my goals as well as getting down to a size 14 and keeping fit and active.

Mental to think that I’ve been here for more than half of those 20 years! I would say I’m getting old, but I’m really not, I’m still in my 20s, I just started as soon as I turned 18 :joy:

  • Your favorite toy of the moment (and a wild guess about the “must-have” toy of 2030).
    Still loving my njoy pure wand and tenga fliphole the most. By 2030? Maybe we’ll all be on machines.

  • What you’ve learned about yourself and your body recently.
    I need to slow it down! No more night long marathon sessions. I just don’t have it in me anymore.

  • Advice you’d want your future self, or future members, to remember.
    It gets better. In all aspects of life.

  • Sex Toy’s of the future predictions
    More automation! And made more accessible and streamlined. No more jet engine machines. Single people want that hand free experience.

  • A snapshot of your life right now — your joys, challenges, fantasies, and goals.
    First corporate job! Finally off the shift work and retail life. Let’s keep it up by 2030 eh?

Your favorite toy of the moment (and a wild guess about the “must-have” toy of 2030).

Womanizer pro 40 is my fave still and I think Womanizer next is the must have toy even though it didn’t do it fot me.

What you’ve learned about yourself and your body recently.

My body has changed recently and I need to work on my self esteem

Advice you’d want your future self, or future members, to remember.

Love yourself and be kind to yourself

Sex Toy’s of the future predictions

More bluetooth remotely controlled toys and eventually virtual reality will come into play somehow.

A snapshot of your life right now — your joys, challenges, fantasies, and goals.

My goal was to start blogging again but I haven’t done that I’m just concentrating on finishing my course at Tafe. I have to do a work placement and it’s done. Then I’ll think about blogging.

My favourite at the moment is the Womenizer next! My OH favourite toy is the ArcWave Pow And the next must have toy for the 2030 would possibly be some sort of clitoral suction (Womanizer related)

Be more open! Not to be scared to try new things within the bedroom! Trust my partner. The most important thing I’ve learnt is to love yourself! :smiling_face:

Dont introduce everything all at once! Things take time. Do what feels good to yourself.

Electronic AI lube dispenser, it can get messy!

My joys in life is definitely being a mum to my little one.

Challenges are letting myself go a little bit. General Self care. Wear more make up when I’m out and about.

Fantasies have been all about oral sex :smiling_face_with_horns:

My main goals would be to be happy. Maintain an healthy relationship.

See you in 5 years :lovehoney_heart:

Congrats! That’s a great idea! I’ve tried different kinds of sex toys—like prostate vibrators, Fleshlights, sex dolls, and even some bondage toys—and honestly, they all feel great in their own ways, so it’s hard to pick a favorite. As for the future of sex toys, I think they’ll become even more automated, with more app-controlled options (which we already see quite a lot of now). Maybe they’ll be increasingly integrated with AI too!
