It seems people are spending so much more time with their computers and phones that they have even started having sex with them

It was just a matter of time before what we knew about autoeroticism became old news and conventional cybersex became just another devolved masturbation technique. In this era of sexual technology revolution, people are always toiling away at making things better, getting the bugs out and making a product more satisfactory. Masturbation has come a long way from finding creative ideas using items at home, other than your hand, to do the job.
The evolution of sex toys gives us the opportunity to almost physically reach out and touch someone thanks to the creation of teledildonics and bluedildonics. While most people still cannot figure out how to program their TiVo, others are learning how to control computer-operated sex machines from distant locations. Taking cybersex to another level, teledildonics are computer-controlled sex toys programmed by an individual to perform acts or controlled by a partner at a remote location using the Internet. Another innovation, bluedildonics, takes a major jump from reaching out and touching someone via phone sex using blue tooth technology to manipulate toys by means of text messaging.
The idea of a blue tooth or computer-controlled dildo may seem farfetched when you can just press yourself against another hot and sweaty body and do the deed. However, there are people who are not even having customary cybersex; instead, their avatars are the ones having all the fun. People are making their Sims hop into bed together and massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPG) are becoming more sexualized. MMORPG “Red Light World” offers players a life in virtual Amsterdam, where they can pick up prostitutes, cruise strip clubs and earn points. Even Second Life players, whose characters are already capable of having sex with one another, are using software so their avatars can have sex that is more realistic. Some people make friends beyond these real life simulations and take it a step further and have cybersex with one another sans avatars. They fire up the webcams and microphones and masturbate, simulating sex in front of their cameras for one another to watch.
Not too long ago, chat lines were a big hit for casual sex hookups and phone sex partners, and those people went from the chat line to the chat room, firing up their webcams and becoming performers and voyeurs. Some people develop attachments to their online play pals, desiring the touch of his or her virtual partner. Some will use sex toys to fantasize about actual physical contact with their partner, but thanks to sex machines and teledildonics the fantasy is reality without ever having to leave your home. Whether it is a lover away on business or you are just cruising for a little fun, this technology enables you to satisfy those urges. There is nothing bashful about being your own porn star, so naturally the co-starring machine has to have a larger-than-life personality.
There is nothing discreet about the Thrillhammer, one of the first teledildonic sex machines; it may seem harmless to an unsuspecting user who may assume it is just another chair with a dildo attached to it. However, with vibration speeds at 6,500 RPM and the right person controlling it via the Internet, it can be hours of orgasmic fun. Because it is a breakthrough in adult toys, the original Thrillhammer is in retirement and resides in the Museum of Sex in New York City for its sexual innovation.
If something less obvious and discreetly naughty is your preference, bluedildonics are smaller toys. The actual toys are not as elaborate as sex machines; they typically appear as a version of the Bullet with an antenna instead of a cord to plug in the wall. This technology combines your love to text message, the thrill of sending naughty notes and sex all rolled into one. Your lover can control every sensation you feel with 45 different settings you may want to get an unlimited SMS plan with your phone company because this toy is also quiet enough for to be worn outside the home. An intimate dinner for two, with your seemingly workaholic partner can be orgasmic without even having to touch one another, just try not to scream at climax and disturb other diners.
Sexual technology has come a long way from phone chat lines where people would meet in person for encounters or just have phone sex. Either way, there was a personal connection in being able to hear person’s voice or touch someone. Some may debate that these revolutionary sex toys are causing intimacy to become extinct. In a world where there are not enough hours in a day to do everything, divorce rates are high and cybersex is the norm; where is there room for closeness to another person? Cybersex is convenient for busy schedules because there is no long length of time spent cruising for partners as a person would at a bar or club. Those looking for a little playtime on the Internet know where to go, know which chat room to peruse and can be on a webcam and microphone in less than a minute and finish the deed in less than 15 minutes. This kind of behavior creates socially awkward personalities and increases antisocial behavior; people can be anyone they want to be on the Web and that is what makes it so aesthetically and mentally appealing. Those who feel he or she is inadequate may never have to come to grips with rejection by living through a computer and various fronts.
Others may argue that these advances in sex toy technology bring lovers closer together and it is more intimate and exhilarating than sexual intercourse. Using sex machines and bluedildonic-enabled toys require a partner to put effort in it and use what most people consider the most erotic body part that is often forgotten— the brain. A partner must think about his or her next move in controlling his or her lover’s sensations. It is an erotic trip with visuals and controls and, as the partner on the other end of the control, it is aware with each moan that your lover is actually thinking about your pleasure and putting effort into it. This just may be a new version of intimacy that people need to get used to; after all, there are still couples and even individuals out there who are not comfortable with using toys. This is a huge obstacle to pass for some people who still believe that an inanimate object pulls away from intimacy or is just a replacement for a lover and not an extension. This technology can be helpful for couples who cannot be together all the time, such as those who go on many business trips, military couples and those who have sexual dysfunctions. For those who are incapable of having sex with their partners for whatever reason, this may be the only form of intimacy for them.
Views will always vary as to the positive and negative aspects of sexual technological advances. These changes are constant and in the ever-changing world of sex toys, perhaps it is time to test out new models and see what all the debate is about. With all this naughty new technology, why not turn off your computer and go out for a walk? Just don’t forget your phone.
It was just a matter of time before what we knew about autoeroticism became old news and conventional cybersex became just another devolved masturbation technique.
