Think Your Partner Faked It? Know For Sure

The Internet of Things – combined with Big Data – is still a relatively new concept. However, slowly but surely it is reaching deeper into our lives every day. While some of the innovations are very exciting and cool – other’s needed to get the rough edges ironed out before they can truly become a part of our everyday lives.

Recently – we have seen how the internet of things can even fix your yoga. This smart yoga mat, there are sensors embedded in the mat can provide feedback on your postures, provide you with a score based on your progress and even guide you through an at-home practice.

The technology is ambitious, and only at the prototype phase at this point. However, it clearly shows the potential of just how far the Internet of Things can go in the coming years.

Another application of this concept comes in the form of wearable technology. At present there are several very interesting pieces of wearable technology such as the infamous Google Glass, FitBit and Skully – the world’s first helmet, evolved. It is in this realm of wearable technology powered by the Internet of Things that has led certain industries to really ponder.

Imagine lying in bed, looking at your partner and thinking to yourself “did he/she really enjoy this?” We all have wondered if the opposite sex has really had a good time or were they simply going through the motions? Well the healthcare industry may have your answer…. Durex – one of the largest manufactures of condoms prides itself in the process of proven effectiveness. One of their more recent ideas are condoms with sensors!

Now the thought of having technology fully aware of every motion (and its resulting emotion) is a little bit creepy. Science proves that when the human species is at climax certain biological activities occur. In men this is relatively straight forward – we are a little bit easier to predict. Women on the other hand can be a whole lot harder to figure out (come on guys you know what I’m talking about). “When women are being aroused, their hearts beat faster, their breathing quickens, their nipples become erect, and their genitals become engorged with blood. As arousal climbs, these sensations increase until they climax, i.e., orgasm, and your body returns to its un-aroused state.” (CosmopolitanMagazine). Well this is what science says, but most guys can’t keep a track of all of that. This is where these new proposed condoms come in.

These condoms will be able to track these signs as they happen and provide you with feedback on your personalized and secure app. A check list to ensure you’ve done everything “right”? Will it work? Maybe. We have yet to find out.

But if you decide to go down this route, there is a strong chance you will know if your partner faked it, or not. Happy testing J
