LONDON – A new wireless system offers live-cam performers a way to make additional income from something they already do: play with toys during public and private shows.

“There are hundreds of cam models that use sex toys in their cam shows,” said Joseph Garcia, founder of PleasureText. “Some even use existing interactive toys. Performers offer toy shows because they know it increases fan interest and interaction. The more time fans spend watching the cam show, equals more money for the performer

“But before PleasureText, toy shows never made performers any money directly from the toys they have been using,” he continued. “PleasureText changes that. By using the Cube toy system, not only does the performer keep fans watching longer and provide more one-on-one interaction, but the Cube bills fans that control a performer’s toys directly through our network. That’s a revenue steam that was completely untapped before.”

The Cube uses cloud technology to allow fans to control a web performer’s toys, changing speed, rotation and other settings for the period of time the fan chooses. Additionally, the Cube offers a built-in display screen, so the performer knows exactly who is remotely controlling the toy in real-time. This allows the performer to communicate with the fan who is controlling the toy, forming a virtual intimacy between the performer and the fan.

Each unit is composed of the Cube and two wireless sex toys programmed to respond to the Cube via the PleasureText application programming interface (API) widget, which installs on a performer’s or cam studio’s website. Installation is easily accomplished with a copy-and-paste short code, which allows fans to access PleasureText’s credit purchase gateway and a web interface to control the toys and send the information about the toy commands to the performer’s Cube screen.

“Design is not just what it looks and feels like,” Garcia said. “Design is how it works. This philosophy can also be seen in how easy the Cube is to use. If you can switch on the TV, you can use this product.

“All units automatically set themselves up through wireless communication with the PleasureText Network,” he continued. “It happens within minutes of plugging the Cube into a standard electrical wall socket. This connection assigns the Cube to a cam performer and signs into the network, so performers start earning 40 percent immediately.”

PleasureText debuted in the UK on the Babestation.TV web channel, Babestation Unleashed, over the Labor Day weekend. Beta testing is expected to begin in the U.S. during September.
