Which brings me to this article in h+, called Sex and the Singularity beginning on page 74. Here's an interesting response:
The primary purpose of the Singularity will be seen, after the fact, to be Awesome Sex. There will be exponentially more sex, with exponentially more interfaces, and with exponentially more measures of pleasure ... We will be installing bioports into our body, a la The Matrix or Sleep Dealer, each of which can stimulate our nervous system. In heterosex, men penetrate women, but with this, men and women will interpenetrate each other, multiply, and, as with USB 2.0 daisy-chaining, so will men, women, and androids be able to multiply-interpenetrate, locally or remotely. determine how many selves would be involved. The entire field of posthuman sex could give new meaning to sex freedom and gender differentiality — where a person could have different scenarios, depending on what form or type he/she is in.
No sir. I don't like it.

As long as it increases my chances of scoring, I'm all for it.
ReplyDeleteGreat, another fun thing everyone is doing that I can to add to the list of things my wife declares off-limits.
ReplyDeleteHaving experienced it all during my lifetime and done it better than anybody else, why would I care? One cannot improve on perfection. That is my humble opinion and I'm sticking to it.
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised that Andrew Sullivan would be excited about having a whole new slew of places to dip his Willie.
ReplyDeleteSound's like the Orgasmatron in Woody Allen's "Sleeper". Just saw a trailer for a new Bruce Willis film the premise being one could choose a mechanical(?) surrogate in which to live one's life.
ReplyDeleteI've always thought machines would mimic biologic computers rather than vice-versa. Our brains are just chemical computers sustained by a biological organism. Chemical computers are faster and more efficient than electronic computers are they not? Interesting questions.
