Lovense launches Control Me, a 4th-gen feature letting creators control fans' connected toys during live shows. Built on the largest device ecosystem, it boosts engagement and earnings.
Lovense just dropped its 4th-generation camming technology, and it's a game-changer for creators. The star of the show is a feature called "Control Me." It lets creators take control of their fans' connected toys during a live show. Think of it as the flip side of the old "Give Control" feature, where fans controlled the creator's toy. Now, the power dynamic shifts. This isn't just a gimmick, either. It's built on the industry's largest installed base of connected devices, and the API is already live for integration on camsites. So, what does this mean for you?
### What is Control Me?
Control Me is exactly what it sounds like. A fan connects their Lovense toy to the platform. During your show, they tip a set amount to unlock an invitation. You get a pop-up on your screen, asking if you want to accept. If you do, you're in control of their toy for a chosen duration. You set the price, too. Through the Lovense Cam Extension, you can make it as cheap or expensive as you want—even free during private shows. It's permission-based, so it feels respectful and intimate.
### From Give Control to Mass Monetization
Remember "Give Control"? That feature let fans control your toy during broadcasts. It became a massive monetization engine, generating millions of dollars for the industry every month. Control Me is the next step. Instead of fans controlling you, you control them. It's a creator-led experience that puts you in the driver's seat. And it's designed to boost engagement, conversion rates, and creator retention. In simple terms: more fun for fans, more earnings for you.
### Control Events: Scale Your Earnings
Here's where it gets really interesting. Control Me isn't just for one-on-one sessions. Lovense is rolling out "Control Events." You can prompt all fans who have connected their toys to join a special show. Then, with one click, you control everyone's toy at once. Imagine an edging show where you control the pace for a whole room. You earn multiple times for the same amount of work. Plus, you can promote these events on social media to grow a crowd of toy owners. Sites and creators also earn commissions when fans buy toys through affiliate programs, and then get paid again to control those toys. It's a loop that keeps paying out.
### Why This Matters for Creators
This isn't just new tech—it's a new way to connect. Control Me gives you a direct, intimate way to engage fans. It's like having a conversation with their body, not just their eyes. And because it's permission-based, it builds trust. Fans feel special when you accept their invitation. You feel powerful when you control the experience. The result? Higher user engagement, better conversion rates, and creators who stick around because they're making more money. Lovense says the feature went through extensive private testing on multiple platforms, so it's ready to roll.
### Getting Started
The API and developer documentation are live now on the Lovense Developer website. Sites can email Lovense at partners@mail.lovense.com for integration support. If you're a creator, talk to your platform about enabling Control Me. It's free to integrate, and it could transform your shows. The future of camming is interactive, and this is a big step forward.
### The Bottom Line
Lovense's 4th-gen technology flips the script on interactive camming. Control Me lets you take charge, scale your earnings with Control Events, and build deeper connections with your fans. It's simple, permission-based, and built for monetization. If you're not already using Lovense toys in your shows, this might be the reason to start. The industry is changing fast, and this tool puts you ahead of the curve.
