Sybian Founder, Creator Dave Lampert Passes Away

Sybian Founder, Creator Dave Lampert Passes Away

LAS VEGAS — Dave Lampert, founder of the Sybian sex machine, has passed away at the age of 90.

In 1979, Lampert had the idea for the Sybian and production began in 1987. Dedicated to both women’s and men's sexual health, in 1998, he ventured into the male sex machine market by adding the Venus for Men to his product line. According to the company, Lampert always took great pride in the fact that Sybian and Venus for Men were and still are made in the United States; today, Sybian and Venus for Men are shipped worldwide.

"In 2010, I was honored to interview Dave Lampert," Marabelle Blue of Kink-E Magazine said. “I was humbled that he took the time out for someone like me, who was new to podcasting and breaking ground when it came to the adult world in kink and interviews. The night that I interviewed Dave, he was supposed to be on a plane to New York to be interviewed by the great Howard Stern the next day. I loved Dave. He had a passion for Sybian, his creation, and as a writer and producer, I understood and respected the drive he had for the success of his empire. Dave loved every aspect of the products he made and designed. I know his legacy and empire will live on.”

Today, Lampert’s ideas have grown into a successful family-run business.

According to the company, “Dave's greatest joy in life was his family. Being able to work side-by-side with them doing something they all love brought him great joy for many years.”

Lampert remained involved in the daily business of his company until his health no longer permitted it. 

"We lost an icon in our industry," Laurie Handlers of LaurieHandlers.com said. “I want to celebrate his life. Dave is best known for his contribution to the field of sensuality and sexuality for his invention of the Sybian. In my talks with Dave, I found out about the man dedicated to women's orgasms. Dave felt that women had so much more in them than most ever would experience with their partners. He wanted to give them a chance to experience multiple orgasms by riding his machine. He wanted them to be free to experience as many as they wanted. He also wanted them to be in control.”

The company said comments and condolences may be emailed to abco@sybian.com.
