Sex toy buzz helps launch ex-Nortel engineer's startup

[rpannier]

Company spent $500,000 on vibrator's research and development

Layoffs at Nortel have led to the launch of a new sex toy company in Ottawa.

Standard Innovation Corp.'s first product, the We-Vibe vibrator, has sold 55,000 units worldwide since it was released last spring.

"This is, to me, not a sex toy. It's an electromechanical device," he said. "We truly look at it from a scientific point of view; in terms of plotting the x-y charts of power versus performance, versus the third dimension of the human dynamic: What frequencies do women like?"

"I discovered some technology developed by NASA that has never been applied to the sex toy industry," he said. "So we've got a new technological platform we're going to be rolling out over the next two years."

1. Please answer the following questions:

1. What is your resonant frequency?

2....

[Lasher]

2. $500K on R&D

Sounds like most of it was spent on strippers.

3. You say potato he says po-tah-to

as long as it has vibrating action it's all good.

4. I.. uh...er...um... need coffee first...

"The We-Vibe’s two motors produce vibrations that penetrate the woman’s body. The vibrations from each motor will interact with the user to produce enhanced stimulating pulses we call “Harmonic Throbbing”...
You will know what “Harmonic Throbbing” is once you have experienced it !"

"The We-Vibe will run for more than two hours on “Low” speed and is quiet enough to be worn secretly under your clothes. Try making your next walk in the park or long commute to work a little more exciting!"

http://we-vibe.com/How_To_Use.php

The We-Vibe can be worn while making love or while walking around the house as it will always try to stay nestled into the woman’s erogenous zone. It can be easily removed at any time.

The extremely low profile in the vaginal entry area and the We-Vibe’s mirror smooth finish makes it virtually unnoticeable to the man with the exception of the powerful vibrations. Men take pleasure in the experience of a vibrating vagina and especially enjoy sharing in their partner’s climactic response to the We-Vibe’s deep and powerful Clitoral and G-Spot vibrations.

The We-Vibe’s two motors produce vibrations that penetrate the woman’s body. The vibrations from each motor will interact with the user to produce enhanced stimulating pulses we call “Harmonic Throbbing”. As you change the pressure on the We-Vibe while making love, the “Harmonic Throbbing” will dynamically change to match your rhythms. You will know what “Harmonic Throbbing” is once you have experienced it !

The We-Vibe works well in many sexual positions. Many women find their favourite position is with the woman on top as it gives you total control of clitoral pressure, thrusting and positioning.

The We-Vibe will run for more than two hours on “Low” speed and is quiet enough to be worn secretly under your clothes. Try making your next walk in the park or long commute to work a little more exciting!

10. What an interesting research method.

"Gee, Miss Stripper, could we pay you to let us use a sex toy on you, and then describe in great detail what it was like?"

I'm guessing these two had waaaay more fun than they should have in building this thing.

[Forkboy]

11. I have good vibes about this product.

:hide:

[MsTryska]

12. I totlly want to go into the sex-toy business.

I've got the ideas, i just need soemone with the engineering talents.

[dweller]

18. I love a women with ideas ...

let me bust out the Erector Set, and see what we can come up with...

20. w00t!

15. Someone had to say it

Corporate retreats are held in Dildo, Newfoundland.

:rofl:

[MadMaddie]

16. So I would like to hear how they conducted the research to

get their data....What? Is it wrong to want to know? Just askin...:shrug:

[sakabatou]

17. No it needs a wireless remote control

If it doesn't have one already.

[FloridaJudy]

19. And they say nothing practical
