Sexnology

Just in case you don't know what is happening re the intersection of sex and technology here are some examples. This is not just a funny frivilous post. Think of some gamers that you know and how much time they spend online. Think of some of the gadget collectors that are consumed with the latest technology. While it is fun to know about these - for some of the young people we work with they could be problematic. GO HERE to read the entire post.

• The Thrillhammer: This is, essentially, a chair fitted with webcams that comes with a device to simulate penetration and vibration. The Thrillhammer can be controlled remotely, allowing a woman’s (or man’s) sex partner to really go to town on her (or him). This is one of the more involved (and expensive) remote sex experiences.
• HighJoy: HighJoy offers a variety of teledildonic toys for both men and women, along with an interface that lets one or both members remotely control the other’s teledildonic device. Thus, two people can experience a physical sexual interaction even though they may in reality be thousands of miles apart.
• Mojowijo: Like HighJoy, Mojowijo offers his-and-hers toys (only one option for each gender, though) along with the ability to connect the devices digitally. The difference with Mojowijo is you can use your motion control enabled Wii gaming console to hook up. So after the kids have finished with Grand Theft Auto, Bowling, and the like, the adults can have their fun, too.
• JeJoue and SaSi: Though neither of these vibrators can be remote controlled in real-time via the Internet, both allow your partner (or you) to email and/or program instructions that tell the device what to do. You or your partner (or a stranger, if you wish) can construct a series of “moves” for the vibrator to make. The latest version of SaSi promises to remember the patterns you like.
• RealTouch: I’ve covered this one before, but the technology has advanced (and is apparently much better) since I last wrote about it. In many ways, the RealTouch device is similar to the Fleshlight, fitting over a man’s penis and simulating a sexual experience. Previously it could synchronize its action with online pornography. Now there is also a corresponding “joystick” that a man’s partner can use to control the action (by simulating masturbation, oral sex, or penetration). Working in tandem with the activities taking place either onscreen (porn) or “live” via the joystick, the device warms itself up, lubricates, pulses, grips, etc.
