Yes, thanks to technological advancements in the sex toy industry, we have a ton of gadgets and other things inside these toys that allow a person to sync their toys with porn play, making it an interactive experience.

But remember, it can’t be just any old hentai game. It has to be software made by a developer/publisher in partnership with a sex toy brand to allow this kind of syncing. Because they do need to experience the scenarios and encode the events so that the toy can act accordingly.

For example, if it’s a soft, romantic spot, the toy will vibrate gently. But if it’s a hard spot or a tense moment, the toy will vibrate (or contract, oscillate, thrust, rotate, etc.) at a higher level. This takes eroge to a whole new level!
