Smart consumers won't buy a $10 memory card on Ali because it's likely to be a destructive fake, but people will buy Internet-controlled electronics for their favorite nether regions of their bodies. Amazing. I guess that's part of the thrill.

>I guess that's part of the thrill. Yeah looking forward to the day where passing unit tests results in a Neuralink-induced orgasm

For as cheesy as 90's sci-fi was, Demolition Man was surprisingly prescient about little things like this. Physical coitus becomes a disgusting act akin to taking a shit, so it becomes a virtual shared experience that creates the feelings between two relative strangers without the various risks.

So looking at it it's 2 parts that get locked together. A ring part that you place the shaft and balls through. Then the container that when placed over the shaft and locked to the ring leaves a gap the balls can no longer get through. Thus it is attached until the lock is released and the ring and container are separated again. It's a chastity device so the point is that when it's on you can't actually do anything s…

Ah gotcha. So it's the act of being restrained that provides the gratification, and being under someone else's control.

Yes. It's a form of sexual submission. It also plays strongly on the aspect of delayed gratification. Instead of orgasming and the chemical 'release' effect that entails, you are kept 'on edge' and, well, horny. The eventual (extreme lifestyle practitioners of this fetish excluded) orgasm tends to be much, much more intense.

Not sure if I understand you correctly. Do you mean that you can't access the link either and that living in a more prude country therefore is not a relevant factor here?

> living in a more prude country I think they're trying to say that given there's open advertising of various sex related things, that Germany isn't exactly prudish.

Yes I understood that. I am asking what he's trying to say by mentioning that. If I were to read between the lines it'd mean that a more prude culture is not a factor because he's in Germany and he gets a warning or can't access the link on mobile. He didn't specifically write that however and I'm therefore trying to clear up the ambiguity.

This thing has been an absolute nightmare since it was released 18 months ago. I've had a few people contact me (note: https://buttplug.io (NSFW) is my project, I get contacted about stuff like this all the time, someday I will write a book about various support stories) with their hardware stuck on. There have been multiple security issues reported, and the company really seems to have no clue how to deal with the t…

Ok that made my day 'buttplug.io' what a hilarious name!! Thanks

aliexpress does that for anything on mobile that it thinks is sex related, which is occasionally annoying when it gets something wrong, but is definitely not wrong in this situation.

I can access that link just fine on mobile. You probably live in a more prude part of the world if you can't access that link on mobile.

I am in Czechia, the country with second most pornstars per 10 million inhabitants. Park your car on a street near the city centre and a prostitute will approach within a few minutes. There are huge and well known strip clubs and sex hotels. And there definitely are not any laws that would force Aliexpress to this.

There's another aspect that bothers me: given how many IoT manufacturers tend to shut down their servers after a while, what's going to happen the day the app cannot communicate with the gizmo in question? Will every user remain locked for good?

It's always important to build your software such that it fails safe. Now, people may disagree what the definition of failing safe is in this case :)

Just because you CAN connect something to the internet doesn't mean that you SHOULD

Teledildonics is an inherently social technology. It's the future of facebook (buttbook?)

They need a secure protocol though. Something anonymous and hard to break like a blockchain or sth better.

The perpetuation of our species is at stake.

A previous poster had suggested he lived in a prudish country where sexual content is censored on the internet. He said he was in Germany, and gave examples of the lack of prudishness there (in case someone didn't know what Germany is like).

The implication is that Germany is an unlikely place for that kind of censorship.
