Every year, gizmo fetishists count the days ‘til the next Consumer Electronics Show, while gaming geeks get to lust after the goods at E3. For sex toy aficionados, however, the three day Adult Novelty Manufacturers Expo in Los Angeles is like Christmas and the Oscars rolled into one. We sent Fleshbot linkscout Carly Milne to ANME this year to check out the latest and greatest in thongs, whips, masks, and buzzing pieces of molded latex, and when she wasn’t being chased by dildo-brandishing inventors anxious to keep their secrets from the eyes of unscrupulous competitors (yes, this really did happen - twice), she managed to take some sneak preview photos of some of the items you’ll be seeing on sex shop shelves everywhere in the months to come.

Doc Johnson’s iVibe Rabbit was the star of the show this year: a USB-enabled device that allows remote sexual contact over the Internet via the Highjoy online subscriber dating community. (More info at AVN and Wired)

New packaging and new flavors for WET Personal Lubricant, including Wine Grape and Wild Blackberry.
