Who We Are

Research And Desire (R+D) is a collective of makers who believe the world needs more creative, playful devices. We build hardware and digital platforms that let you play in new ways. Our philosophy is simple: technology should serve human connection, exploration, and creativity.

Our Mission

We develop devices and software that help people explore their desires, improve their skills, and connect with others. Our products combine precision engineering with thoughtful design to create experiences that are both pleasurable and purposeful.
Our goal is to make personal technology less boring and more… interesting.

Our Products

Deepthroat Trainer (DTT)

Our flagship IoT device for deep throat training and skill development. Features millimeter-precision sensors that measure depth and movement, enabling you to track progress in reducing gag reflexes, improving breathing techniques, and building endurance. Supports multiple training modes including endurance, repetition, freeform, and bounce sessions. Think of it as a personal trainer, but for your throat.

Chastity Lockbox

A device management system that lets you control access to your devices through customizable lock sessions. Integrates with our training platform so you can earn time reductions through training achievements—creating a gamification system that motivates consistent practice. Like a video game, but with real-world consequences. Don’t worry, we’ve built in plenty of safety features.

Open Source Sex Machine (OSSM)

An advanced mechanical device providing customizable stimulation patterns through precise stroke control. Features multiple stroke patterns, adjustable speed and depth controls, and seamless Bluetooth connectivity for remote operation and platform integration. Yes, we really named it OSSM. We’re proud of that one.

R+D Dashboard

Our web platform serving as the central hub for all R+D devices. Provides detailed analytics, progress tracking, customizable training schedules, and social features including leaderboards and community engagement. Like a fitness app, but for activities that don’t involve running (unless you’re into that sort of thing).

Our Values

We push the boundaries of what’s possible with IoT technology. Sometimes we push too hard and things break, but that’s how you learn.
All our products are designed with user safety as the highest priority. Every device features built-in safety mechanisms and comes with comprehensive guidelines.
We respect user privacy and implement robust security measures to protect personal data and intimate information. Your secrets are safe with us (and our encryption).
We foster a supportive, inclusive community where users can connect, share experiences, and support each other’s growth. We’re all weirdos here, and that’s perfectly fine.
Every product we create meets high standards of engineering, design, and user experience. Our products pass through multiple quality tests before reaching you.

Our Approach

We combine cutting-edge technology with human-centered design to create products that truly enhance the human experience. Our team includes engineers, designers, and wellness experts who work together to ensure our products are safe, effective, and enjoyable to use.
