Miscellaneous | Sex Tech ... 1/1

@agracier That's an interesting article. Sex dolls go back as afar as the seventeenth century where Dutch sailors invented them as companions for long voyages. Couple of other articles related to the history of sex dolls.

Couple of takeaways from the article you referenced:

“But the rate at which sex tech is advancing and the potential for new directions in virtual sex should prompt us to ask: are there any ways in which digital lovers could eventually be as good as (or even better than) real ones?” “Teledildonics – sex toys that can be controlled over the internet – already make play possible for lovers separated by distance or pandemic.”

For those of us who think an sex doll or AI/VR experience could never be as good as - or even replace - real sex - look back at how many doubted crazy ideas of Philosophers and Scientists of the past that have proven true. This Technology could have applications in space travel and many other aspects of life. Even today, many have substituted sex toys for real one-on-one sex for multiple reasons, lack of a willing partner, better orgasms, not having to put up with the bullshit of a relationship.
