RealTouch, the male intimacy device that lets men “feel” the adult scene they are watching on their computer screen, will be available in retail stores nationwide by the end of March. The much-heralded interactive device has been available only online up to now.

AEBN, the leading video on demand distributor that markets the high tech device, made the decision to begin selling in stores after receiving an unprecedented volume of orders from retailers during the recent AEE show in Las Vegas and the ExpoMark adult novelty product convention in Miami.

“Initially we will sell only through stores in the United States, but we anticipate an international roll out soon as we near completion of the certifications and licensing to begin selling RealTouch worldwide,” said RealTouch director of sales Scott Rinaldo. “RealTouch will be available through some of the largest, most recognizable distributors around the world.”

Rinaldo said sales are expected to get a boost from praise RealTouch has received from popular media figures such as Howard Stern, who said after witnessing a demonstration on his Sirius/XM show, “This is what I’ve been waiting for all my life!” Hustler magazine called RealTouch the “future of sex,” while Fleshbot said, “It’s one of the most remarkable male sex toys we’ve ever seen.”

RealTouch will be sold in a 4-color high gloss package, complete with a power supply, 3.5 ounces of lube and a DVD of 10 free videos that will work immediately with the consumer’s computer. RealTouch also includes four free Male Enhancement videos at the exclusive RealTouch Theater.

“We also have a program to work with individual retailers to customize POS and POP materials, from window clings to standees to posters to bag stuffers,” Mr. Rinaldo said. “All it takes is a phone call.”

The RealTouch packages will include a convenience-oriented Quick Response (QR code) that will allow customers to instantly download onto their smart phones all the information they need about the unit. QR codes, already adopted by Best Buy, are rapidly becoming a must-have retailing tool, and help to exemplify the cutting edge technology behind the device.

Golden brunette Nicole Ray, just 21 and already the star of more than 40 popular adult movies, was the most popular performer in February among users of RealTouch, the interactive sex device for men.

The hazel-eyed Illinois native edged out Bree Olson, Heather Starlet, Lisa Ann and Sasha Grey as the five stars men most wanted to have virtual sex with while using RealTouch. Others popular stars in the Top 10 for February were Kristina Rose, Penny Flame, Natalia Rossi and Cytherea.

The sophisticated device from leading adult video on demand (VOD) company AEBN uses proprietary haptic technology to simulate the authentic warmth, moistness and relative motion of a performer when watching an adult video.

The movies its users watched the most in February were Sex Fiends No 5 from Platinum X Pictures; Multiple P.O.V, Voyeur Media; Schoolgirl P.O.V. 6, New Sensations; Blow Me Sandwich 14, Zero Tolerance; Teen Hitchhikers 6, Cinemaplay Entertainment; Barely Legal: POV 4, Hustler; Only Teen Blowjobs, Overboard Video; Schoolgirl P.O.V. 2, New Sensations; Dick Guzzler P.O.V., Raw Dawgg Entertainment; and Secretary’s Day 2, Smash Pictures.

“Our users continue to show us they have remarkably diverse interests in the kinds of stars they enjoy watching and interacting with, and the kinds of movies they like to watch while they are enjoying themselves,” according to Scott Rinaldo, Director of Sales at RealTouch. “The great thing about RealTouch is that it lets a guy satisfy every single possible desire or fantasy he might have, right in the comfort of his own home.”

The Harvard Lampoon poked fun at its campus rival by spoofing an issue of the campus newspaper The Harvard Crimson. Included in the practical joke was a full page ad for the RealTouch interactive sex device for men, which saw an immediate increase in sales in the Boston area.

It is the second year in a row that The Lampoon has carried an ad for RealTouch, the sophisticated device from leading adult video on demand (VOD) company AEBN. RealTouch uses proprietary haptic technology to simulate the authentic warmth, moistness and relative motion of a performer when watching an adult video.

This year the ad was created entirely by Harvard students at The Lampoon. Its headline proclaimed: “This Edition of The Harvard Crimson is Brought to You by RealTouch.” The ad copy includes funny customer reviews, cartoons, a “For the Ladies” section, and a “product overview” that reads: “The Crimson believes in the 4 W’s of sex: 1.Wet; 2. Warm; 3. Wild; 4. With a different girl every night. If you agree, read on.”

“The Lampoon invited us to be the first ad to ever appear in their traditional spoof of the newspaper. We elected to let The Lampoon’s staff create the ad itself, since they know their audience better than anyone,” says Scott Rinaldo, sales director of RealTouch.

Rinaldo added, “Sales in the Boston area have shot up since the ad appeared, just as they did last year when the Lampoon ran our first ad. This just shows that Harvard guys are smart enough to know the real thing even when it is in a tongue and cheek ad. Of course, our favorite line in the ad was that ‘The RealTouch is the Rolls Royce of sex toys.’”

Users and Content Providers Can RealTouch Enhance Their Movies

CHARLOTTE, NC – (February 16, 2011) — AEBN, the world’s leading provider of adult video-on-demand entertainment, is opening up its RealTouch video content standard with the release of the RealTouch Content Developer Kit (CDK).

The CDK features sample code, a sample video, script files and sample executables that demonstrate how to encode video content for RealTouch, a device for men that uses proprietary haptic technology to simulate the authentic warmth, moistness and relative motion in thousands of adult videos. The CDK is the first step towards the public release of a Software Developer Kit (SDK) that will allow software developers to create applications for RealTouch.

“Developers who have a commercial product they would like to RealTouch-enhance should contact developersupport at realtouch.com,” said RealTouch Director of Sales and Marketing Scott Rinaldo, adding that forum support is also available at the RealTouch forum for help with content encoding projects.

“This is part of the goal of the RealTouch team to foster the development of a community and a content standard for haptically-enhanced content and software,” Rinaldo said. “We believe there is a bright future ahead for the RealTouch product line and that growing a community and making this technology available for other developers is how we’ll arrive there.”

In a major step toward making the interactive RealTouch sex device for men a mainstream retail product the company has made its website Safe For Work (SFW).

The newly designed website focuses on what its manufacturer describes as the “innovative engineering, unrivaled versatility and patented technology” of RealTouch. The site notes that users get “incredible sensations” from the device, which employs haptic technology to add the sense of touch “for an incredible, synchronized interactive experience.”

Used while watching an adult movie, RealTouch gives a man the precise experience he is watching on the screen, including moistness, warmth, friction and strength. A button linking to a more explicit explanation of how the device actually works is available on the new site.

Introduction of the SFW version of the site coincides with a move by the company to begin selling RealTouch in retail outlets and through web merchants nationwide this spring. Up to now RealTouch has been sold exclusively through the websites of RealTouch.com website and its parent, AEBN.net.

RealTouch has earned accolades from the media since its introduction. After witnessing a demonstration on his Sirius/XM show, Howard Stern joked with his listeners: “This is what I’ve been waiting for all my life!” Hustler magazine called RealTouch the “future of sex,” while Fleshbot said, “It’s one of the most remarkable male sex toys we’ve ever seen.”

“And, of course, we will have a RealTouch unit on display at our booth #305 so people can see exactly how it works as it simulates the sexual experience they are watching on their computer screen,” he added. “Visitors to the booth will also receive coupons worth $50 toward the purchase of a RealTouch, which now comes with ten free videos programmed specially for the unit, 60 free RealTouchVOD minutes, a free bottle of lube, free shipping and a one-year warranty.”
