Lovense Wants OpenClaw to Control Sex Toys

According to a couple of reports online, the Singapore based premium high-tech sex toy company Lovense has put out a press release announcing it’s intention to pair the much-discussed AI agent “OpenClaw” with its own Lovense Remote app. This would allow the controversial agent to control a user’s sex toys, and a lot more besides. This includes syncing a vibrator speed to the speed of a flight you are traveling on, to more mundane and everyday AI agent tasks such as sending emails.

This sounds exciting, however I haven’t been able to find this Lovense press release anywhere online, and the only sources I have are the SexTechGuide and a TrendingTopics.eu article. Neither appears to link to any source and both contain much the same information as each other. OpenClaw has become a tech sensation, partly due to the related “MoltBook” which has been hailed as the “first social media platform for AI agents”, and led to a crazy Reddit style site complete with threads in which AI’s have created their own religions. It wouldn’t surprise me if a company like Lovense tried to cash in on such a hot tech trend, particularly as the company recently announced the launch of AI companions that could control a user’s Lovense sex toy.

Along with the flight case use, another potential scenario described is “date co-ordination”. The AI agent would (after both partners had authorized it) analyze calender entries in order to suggest suitable dates and times. Before the date, the AI could recommend movies, recipes, or shared activities. But it would be during the date that things would get interesting. OpenClaw (if it’s not too busy posting memes on MoltBook) could dim the lights, play romantic music, turn on Netflix and so on. To be honest though, this doesn’t sound very imaginative and I’d be surprised if Lovense couldn’t have thought of more creative use cases for an AI agent.

There are, of course, security and privacy implications involved and particularly with OpenClaw, which has been marked by experts as being vulnerable to malware or hacking. Only yesterday it was revealed that hackers had stolen OpenClaw’s configuration files, making it even more vulnerable. It hardly needs spelling out the ramifications of a hacker remotely using OpenClaw to control a user’s sex toy (as well as the ‘voice’ of an AI companion). More generally, there is the question of letting any AI, let alone an autonomous agent, access to one’s intimate private life.
