I have to imagine that there have been substitutes for physical sexual interaction for nearly as long as sex has been around. As a species, we've written about sex, so you'd imagine we probably exchanged letters about it (snail mail sex?). We have nude magazines and video pornography for our viewing pleasures. We've used the phone to verbally get it on. And of course there's cybersex (who needs the real thing when you can type it out?).
But all of these options are becoming trite. It's clearly time for something new! Something fresh and exciting!
Enter
Kinect Sex. As the article says, we could be within reach of having sex via video game. Essentially, the site indicates that the Kinect technology is sophisticated enough that it could be used to simulate sex via a dildo or even one's own body.
Someday in the future, when we get that urge, we can hang up the phone and go AFK so we can connect with Kinect!
Or, you know, you could try real sex. Just a thought.
On that note, don't forget that today is World AIDS Day. Reflect on those in your life affected by, struggling with, or have been lost to AIDS and consider volunteering or donating to help the cause. If only we could be as close to finding a cure as we are to Kinect Sex...
