But there\u2019s a long history behind the practice. In 2002, USC Interactive Media and Games professor Miyuki Jane Pinckard, then a games critic living in Japan, mentioned the practice among female gamers in a viral article about using the\u00a0<em>Rez<\/em>\u00a0Trance Vibrator. The practice turned heads, but it never died down in popularity. One of the Xbox 360 community marketplace\u2019s most popular apps was\u00a0\u201cA Perfect Massage,\u201d\u00a0a program that turned Xbox controllers into \u201ca vibrating massager.\u201d Similar apps commonly made their way onto the Xbox\u2019s marketplace and earned dividends for their creators; Kotaku editor-in-chief Stephen Totilo\u00a0reported on the phenomenon\u00a0in 2009 and revealed how one college senior \u201cpocketed $60,000 and counting\u201d from just four hours developing \u201can Xbox massage program.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Dot spoke to numerous video game fans who have, at one point or another, used a game controller\u2019s rumble features for sexual pleasure. While playing 2002 fighting game\u00a0<em>Soulcalibur 2<\/em>, one anonymous gamer became so turned on by female fighters flashing their panties that they \u201cwould let a CPU beat [them] up while having the controller sitting in my lap.\u201d Years later in college, they were playing Gearbox Software\u2019s first-person shooter\u00a0<em>Borderlands 2<\/em>\u00a0when they acquired the\u00a0Good Touch, a weapon that \u201cjust makes your controller constantly vibrate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was like oh-my-god yeah. Vibration is all the same, it doesn\u2019t have to be a wand,\u201d they said. \u201cI feel a little bad cause [Gearbox was] doing a bit but I was the one girl taking it seriously haha.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/uploads.dailydot.com\/2020\/09\/SoulCalibur-2-Sex.jpg?auto=compress&amp;fm=pjpg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bandi Namco<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><\/div>\n<p>Claribel, a queer and trans sex worker, had a similar story. They told the Daily Dot how fighting games\u2019 controller vibration features could be used to turn their gamepad into a sex toy during a game over cutscene in a\u00a0<em>Dragon Ball Z<\/em>\u00a0fighting game. Other genres soon followed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was always a cutscene of the loser getting blasted that made the PS2 controller vibrate and so once I realized that I started holding the controller against my bits,\u201d Clarbiel said. \u201cThen I started seeing games that had \u2018find-buried-item\u2019 missions and levels that\u2019d make the controller vibrate when you go closer to the thing you were looking for. I figured out I could basically use that like a variable speed wand. And then during the Xbox 360 generations, Quick-Time-Events got big for a while and a lot of them would make the controller vibrate if you failed. The golden egg for that was finding an autosave that happens right as the QTE starts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Years before discreet, wireless vibrators were regularly available to purchase for cheap over the internet, controllers became the only sex toys that teens and young adults could use to experiment with their bodies. And some gamers went to great lengths to figure them out.\u00a0Fox, who is trans masculine and kink-positive, could not access a vibrator in their late teens while living with their parents. So instead, they purchased the 2004 role-playing game\u00a0<em>Digimon Rumble Arena 2<\/em>\u00a0and played through the game until they earned the ability to replay in-game cutscenes with vibration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was incredibly convoluted but as a determined young adult I was willing to put in the effort,\u201d Fox told the Daily Dot. \u201cI spent probably close to 100 hours in a [role-playing game] I don\u2019t even remember the name of so I could replay a cutscene with near-continuous vibration because it was more consistent than\u00a0<em>Digimon Rumble Arena 2<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While many of these gamers have access to sex toys as adults, they still expressed interest in using iVIBRATE in one shape or form. And the app certainly has plenty of uses during COVID-19. For instance, young adults stuck in quarantine with their families can use apps like iVIBRATE to create their own makeshift wireless vibrators discreetly. And for gamers living in rural areas, iVIBRATE serves as a handy back-up when the nearest sex toy shop is a little too far away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have the means to get regular toys but if a toy has died (like my favorite wand recently has) or I\u2019m playing a game and don\u2019t want to have to get up, I can definitely see myself using this,\u201d Claribel said. \u201cI think it\u2019ll also be a great resource for anyone who doesn\u2019t have easy access to regular toys. I\u2019m originally from a rural town and the nearest adult shop was a 45 minute drive so being able to save the gas and just use a controller would have been a dream.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 2047px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/uploads.dailydot.com\/2020\/09\/Wireless-Vibrator-Xbox-Controller-Steam-Controller.jpg?auto=compress&amp;fm=pjpg\" width=\"2047\" height=\"1152\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yixiao Wen\/Flickr<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Others simply find the program exciting for its own sake. Reporter Elizabeth King once \u201cbriefly\u201d used a controller\u2019s vibration feature in their later teens on a whim, as \u201ca vibrating thing just feels like you should put it on yourself.\u201d Now as an adult, they would \u201cabsolutely\u201d try iVIBRATE. That\u2019s partly because video games have an erotic appeal to them, whether through \u201cgamer porn,\u201d or via sexual premises where one partner gives another bodily pleasure while doing something else (such as playing video games).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love incorporating all kinds of play in sex. Sex is also funny sometimes, and in <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> it\u2019s just fun,\u201d King told the Daily Dot. \u201cI already use toys like vibes and plugs and all kinds of other props (even picking out underwear ahead of sex is like costuming of a kind), plus: I like video games!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kink Master Studios told the Daily Dot that there\u2019s a \u201ckinkiness factor\u201d in using a device like a controller that was never intended for erotic use.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the biggest appeal of using a controller for sexual stimulation is that it\u2019s something a lot of people will have lying around the house; ease of use and accessibility is a big factor,\u201d the developer said.<\/p>\n<p>To be clear, masturbating with a game controller may not be as enjoyable as using a dedicated sex toy. And using a game controller to masturbate in a multiplayer game\u2014especially ones where your audio may be transmitted to other players\u2014raises numerous concerns about\u00a0sexual consent with teledildonics. But there\u2019s a long history behind using controllers to masturbate in single-player games, and iVIBRATE\u2019s wireless vibrator feature is just the latest in a legacy that\u2019s as underreported as it is exciting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGames are another fantasy and they appeal to our imagination. Suspension of disbelief, etc. Especially for those of us who are into kink and BDSM, that\u2019s already part and parcel of our approach to sex play,\u201d King said. \u201cBut also games appeal to everyone, basically. As do sex toys. Combining the two for consenting adults seems like a no-brainer and I almost can\u2019t believe this <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> didn\u2019t exist sooner. Especially because there\u2019s even stereotypes about sexually repressed, horny gamers.
