qDot, Stroker, are you listening?

To run the risk of alienating my readers, I'm going to provide you with this link, and tell you that the first thing I thought of was teledildonics.

Even if you've never heard that word before, you know what it is. Honestly, is it just me, or is the first application of a virtual-to-real appliance interface NOT going to be a way to stimulate a partner over the Internet? Oh, sure, I suppose you could get excited by the thought of turning your homes' lights on and off remotely from work. It might be thrilling to think of turning on your air conditioner from your cubicle so that things are nice and cool by the time you get home. Or even, I suppose, manually engaging your security system to scare off that intruder you see lurking around your outdoors webcam.

But c'mon ... with the right rig, one-handed cybering could be a thing of the past. You will go to bed tonight thinking about it.

Meh. I don't know how many times someone has hooked up an X10 switch to SL. I've done it, MIT has done it, I'm sure LOTS of other people have done it. In terms of power metrics visualization, you could do some REALLY neat stuff, but the switch design part is ridiculously trivial these days.

And... Akela... You do realize that teledildonics has already been linked into SL multiple times, right? I did it, Utopex claimed to have done it before they went under... -.^

2. I don't know about playing with home lights from a cubicle. I have that luck of working from the home. But those other things yu've mentioned sounds interesting :p
One day I will move my lazy ass and try to assemble one of those toys slashdong is about.

3. it was (and in some cases still is) thanks to the "perverts that many technologies took off, stuff like vcr, holograms, the internet and, hold on your seats, SL wouldn't be what it is today if it wasn't for those people that have developed a taste for certain types of bodylly functions and their 'artistical' representations

I'm not saying SL wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the erotica aficionados, it would probably still exist, but it wouldn't be as popular as it is today I believe...

5. Yes, but important thing many people forgets (or miss to mention for some other reason) is that all those (vcr, internet and SL) inventions were offered in the free market. And, all of them gives the possibility for the users to creat the content easily. So, what does it says to us? We like sex. We like to practice it, we like to talk and write about it. We like to portray it and to use it in, more or less, artistic ways. If somebody doesn't like the fact, well... they are free to offer something different. Any many did so (vcr, internet and SL). And everybody is happy, except those who offered something utterly boring. But it is not sex to be blamed if somebody is boring. We are getting back to the story of corporations who accuse SL for being sex oriented. Why there is not enough educational sims as much there is sex sims? Why there is a problem with traffic of business sims? Because rare are those who put real effort in building them. Just jump to some sex sims, see the builts, see the animations. Some avatars put a hell lot of work into them. Yes, sex is more appealing on the first shot, but there is also much bigger competition in that field.
