The idea of a robot specifically designed for sex could lead to all sorts of speculation; from regulation to ethics to its impact on today's sex worker. I feel like this topic could be discussed ad nauseam, so for now I'll leave it there. If you have any theories or questions I'd love to further this discussion it in a future post so leave a comment if you're interested.
The article also touches on 3D porn; which given the recent success of Avatar could work. [Funnily enough J and I saw Avatar before I read this article last night and briefly discussed the impact that this could have in porn.] The 3D TV that the article mentions seems pretty pricey at $4,000 but couldn't you imagine people flocking to this tech, especially if the TVs could be used for other 3D programs? It would also change the way porn was shot to ensure certain body parts didn't pop out at the viewer.....imagine the reaction when a cock jumps off the screen at someone expecting their favourite female part of the anatomy. Now this hopefully wouldn't bother most men but I know a couple who would cringe at the thought. For example, a friend of mind only watches lesbian porn because he can't stand the sight of cock; I've always wondered what happens when we goes to the bathroom? I also imagine clean-up would be a bitch; what with people trying to cum on the breasts of their favourite adult film star.
