On June 24, 2026, pleasure-tech brand Honey Play Box (based in Chino, California) announced KAI PRO, a sucking-and-vibrating male masturbator pitched as the first male device in the company's lineup that can be controlled through the Honey Play Box app. The launch is the brand's clearest move yet to plant a flag in the teledildonics segment for men — a category long dominated by Lovense, Kiiroo, and The Handy.

Why It Matters

The male connected-stroker market is suddenly crowded. For years, interactive male devices were a two- or three-brand affair; now mid-market players like Honey Play Box are betting that app control is table stakes rather than a premium differentiator. That compresses margins and accelerates feature parity (suction, heating, content sync, long-distance control), which is good for consumers but raises the same privacy questions that have dogged connected intimacy hardware — Honey Play Box, like its peers, is asking users to route intimate usage data through a companion app. With the male sex-toy market projected toward $12B+, every brand with an existing app ecosystem now has an incentive to ship a connected stroker, and KAI PRO is a clean example of that strategic logic.

Where Honey Play Box has historically been known for app-connected toys aimed at women and couples (its Vibrosa egg line and creator-friendly LED toys), KAI PRO extends that connected ecosystem to a stroker. The company frames the device around long-distance intimacy: a partner can drive the suction and vibration patterns remotely through the app, putting KAI PRO in direct competition with interactive strokers like the Lovense Solace Pro and Kiiroo Keon. Honey Play Box positions the product less as a "novelty" and more as a connected-wellness device that fits into everyday routines, leaning on the broader normalization of app-connected personal hardware (smartwatches, fitness trackers) to make the pitch.

The release continues a steady 2026 drumbeat of connected male-device launches — arriving the same month Arcwave shipped its app-connected Orbit and Thruster strokers and Kiiroo opened pre-orders for the Wi-Fi-native Keon 2 — underscoring how the once-underserved male teledildonics niche has become one of the most competitive corners of pleasure tech.
