Shilo’s a Dick

OP logoMost dudes dream of dick. By that I mean at one point or another most every trans guy has dreamt of having a dick of their own or having a bigger dick or having a dick in them. You get the point, guys like dick in someway or another. I myself spent the better part of my first years on T obsessing over it.

Alas, I am cash poor and don’t want to have anymore surgery. So I searched for a dick that made sense. I don’t love packing without purpose. Mostly because if I’m gonna “do it” at the end of the day, I never know how to casually slip off my stinky, sweaty limp packer without feeling humiliated and utterly turned off. If I am gonna pack, I want to be able to fuck with that dick too. But I’m short and I wear skinny jeans, so I can’t exactly shove a donkey dick down there without looking obscene.

Everything You Need To Know About 3D Printing Your Dick’s Doppelganger

Take it from me: if you go to get your penis scanned and turned into a dildo, try not to think about the fact that your cock is patiently throbbing at the intersection of chemistry, sculpting, laser photography, sex toy manufacturing, 3D printing, American-made goods, and LGBTQ concerns. It will make you flaccid, and that’s no way to pose for a picture.

It’s Thursday: Why Not Make a Custom Dildo of Your Dong?

Jezebel logoIs your dick so glorious that you think it needs a twin-dick? Well then I have the event for you! Right now in New York City, 3Dea is happening, a popup store/printing lab that shines a light on the art of 3D printing. The gist of it: You can get pretty much anything printed in 3D, including your penis. Yay, technology! (And I really do mean that.)

Ottimo Massimo of Fleshbot went through the process, and it is so fascinating! They use lasers to scan your penis and then print out a dildo with your exact length, girth, curve, and vein structure. And is it just me, or is “vein structure” the grossest two words in the English language when combined? It’s that, or “making love”. Or possibly “Carrot Top”.

3D Printing Reaches Consumers

Time logoAdore your Shih Tzu? Now it’s possible to create a tiny replica of Fluffy in figurine form for your office. You could also create customized jewelry or an iPhone case. What might be called extreme personalization is moving closer to mainstream consumers who don’t want to invest in an industrial 3D printer themselves. This is all thanks to a number of companies whose mission is to give everyone access to high-end 3D technology normally used by large corporations to create product prototypes.

Huff Po logo3DEA, a pop-up 3D printing store in New York City, is offering customized dildos formed from laser scans — and 3D print-outs — of customers’ penises.

They send the model to New York Toy Collective, where sex toy professionals use the print-out to create a one-of-a-kind dildo.

This idea that started off as a “wouldn’t it be silly if…” conversation while drinking with friends that became a reality for Kling when she came into contact with the owners of sex toy company the New York Toy Collective, who offered to make an almost exact mold of her penis—veins, creases and all—using the latest in 3D technology.

Junk in a box

One goal has long evaded sex toy engineers: an exact replica of a human penis. Not just any penis, but yours, with all the contours and skin tone that the good Lord gave you rather than those unnaturally smooth and luridly pink options.

Plaster molds and other attempts take too long and often leave the customer limp with disappointment.

Now, thanks to 3D printing, the era of the perfectly cloned mini-you has arrived; finally, you can be in two places at once, as it were.

New York Store Offering Laser Scanned Custom Dildos

barstool sports logoHow cocky do you have to be to clone your own dick? I bet you can’t find me one dude who thinks his dick is good enough to be laser scanned and turned into a dildo. My dick is certainly not worthy of that. There’s a reason why chicks buy dildos and vibrators that are like 12 inches long and 4 inches thick with glitter and sparkles and shit. Because real dicks are awful. Real dicks are small and weird colors with floppy skin and stuff.

I mean how often do you see surveys and studies and shit that say 99% of chicks are not satisfied in bed, right? So unless you’re that 1%, which you aren’t, what are you doing cloning the very mechanism that provides mediocre sex? Happy birthday, honey – he’s a laser scanned replica of my cock. Now you can fake orgasms when you’re masturbating too!

The 3D-Printed Sex Toy Industry Is Growing Bigger

Noah Kaplan is here to get his dick scanned. He gestures wildly, his bathrobe peeking open as he rapidly recounts why he’s doing this, going on and off the record about his sexual preferences. I can barely keep up. We’re in a room at the Eventi Hotel in Chelsea, where Kaplan is sitting in front of an impressive camera that can scan in three dimensions and create a virtual model of any object.

Experts will then composite those scans into one image that will be printed out using a 3D printer, resulting in an exact, three-dimensional replica of the 26-year-old’s penis. This is the very beginning of the 3D-printed sex toy-industry, though you can scarcely call it an industry yet.
