It is a specialty item right now although in the near future it will be thought of as the catalyst for the next sexual revolution i.e. the next stage of virtual sex.

To make them sell right now the price should drop to 199.00 and the buyer should get more free video time on the front end, with lower price on the subsequent videos.
First things first:

Appeal.

Who is this meant to appeal to and why?

What is my motivation to use it as a potential customer? I personally see absolutely no reason. In fact, if it was free, I see no reason. I am not looking for a unique masturbatory experience, I am looking to finish my business and get on with my day.

There is zero appeal to me

Do benefits outweigh the costs? What are the benefits? Interactivity? Is that more appealing than interacting with a live model? Why have other remote controlled sex toys failed?

It is appealing to stick your dick into a machine?

Do the costs of content (accessing it, waiting for it to load, paying extra for it etc etc etc) outweigh the benefit of the instant gratification of a tube site

Cleaning? It has to be cleaned.

It breaks. All things mechanical break.

It is expensive... and it will break. Can't drop it. Gotta be really careful. $250.00 to jerk off.

There are direct costs to using it.
1) cleaning
2) lube
3) going to a specific site, logging in, buying time, waiting for videos to load/buffer
4) paying additional cost for specific content for this device

There are ZERO direct costs to going to ones own library or a tube site. It's instant gratification. Masturbation is impulse... not a planned event requiring setup, cleanup and maintenance.

The reasons why this will never fly are endless.

What was spent in developing it? I heard from AEBN employees, 8 figures. It was a fail well before it was launched.
