摘要

交互式性玩具影响着我们对个人和社会范围内性亲密和性快感的理解。然而，针对实际设备的分析性和批判性研究却很少。为了解决这个问题，我们对一家荷兰制造商提供的互动产品进行了深入的女性主义内容分析，包括讨论和介绍这些产品的文字和视频资料。运用技术性脚本的理论视角，我们展示了该行业最大的利益相关者之一是如何承诺一个乌托邦式的性未来，同时坚持并重新灌输规范性脚本，即如何通过技术媒介与他人和自己发生性关系。我们的分析表明了安全、健康和优化承诺的偏差（和不兑现）所带来的深远影响，这牵涉到技术专家和营销战略家。

Cyber toy stories: The broken promises and broken parts of interactive sex toys

Interactive sex toys shape how we understand sexual intimacies and pleasures on an individual and societal scale. Yet analytical and critical research on actual devices is scant. To help address this, we conducted an in-depth Feminist Content Analysis of interactive products offered by one Dutch manufacturer, including text and video material that discusses and presents those products. Applying the theoretical lens of technosexual scripts, we show how one of the largest industry stakeholders engages in promising a utopian sex-future, while upholding and re-inscribing normative scripts for how sexual encounters with others and oneself can be technologically mediated. Our analysis illustrates the far-reaching consequences of skewed (and unkept) promises of safety, health and optimization, which implicates technologists as well as marketing strategists.
