Nah, my disgust doesn't come from a primitive place in the amygdala it comes from the rational place of not wanting to stick my junk in some device then have to clean it afterward among other complaints. I really don't mind robots, I'm just not going to sleep with one. Also, Wikipedia is not a credible source of information just for future reference.

In "The Future of Work", Scott Adams theorizes that the Holodeck (from Star Trek) will be mankind's last invention. Once invented, nobody will be interested in going through the effort of finding someone to date/marry/procreate with. I'm paraphrasing, but I believe the quote was something like "You'd have a really hard time trying to convince me that I should be anywhere other than in my holodeck, getting a baby oil massage from Cindy Crawford and her simulated twin sister."


He's probably not wrong. We're partway there already.

"SIM city here we come"

"Feels like a supermodel, looks like a super model, tastes like a supermodel, must be a supermodel."

Only the desire that some people have to procreate would keep this from happening.

Well, that and the natural human desire to socially interact with other people. The poll about giving up sex vs. the Internet is around 50/50 right now.

Device? What device? If there is a device, then what is the "virtual" part? Sounds more like masturbation to me.


Ah, just googled it. Yeah that's just masturbation. Leave it to someone to try and attach a "social platform" to it. Stupid.

I was really surprised with that poll, but then again people here like to play the Devils Advocate on a variety of topics. What they say on line vs what they would do in real life are two different things.

What's the difference?
