> from a sex tech company called FriXion Nice name. It has an obvious connection to the product, and if you want to give out pens with the name on them you don't have to pay for custom printing [1]! [1] http://www.pilotpen.us/Brands/FriXion.aspx

It's also the name of a British boy band, which raises interesting marketing possibilities :)

Let's face it, being a senior citizen in 25+ years is going to be amazing. I can't wait to retire and just have Viagra fuelled cyber VR sex all day. Take a drag of my e-cig after and sent some bitcoins to my grand kids.

That's fine for you but... I'm horrified at what your grand kids will have access to.

I wonder if the use of this technology by a paid webcam model on a client would constitute prostitution. Or what the social ramifications would be of having an omegle/chat-roulette style chat system where people could have sex with anonymous strangers over the internet at a moment's notice without any fear of pregnancy or sexually transmitted disease.

At some point along this future, the question might be "What grandkids?"

Some items from the video that were not mentioned in the article: One to many interactions, Record and replay experiences, Pre-recorded games/videos. Of course, none of the above should really be a surprise but they still caught me off-guard.

So Justin Bieber could have sex with all his Twitter followers simultaneously. Fascinating.

wow - that's really possible ... it simply had never crossed my mind but like a catflap - once the idea is explained it stays in.

This reminds me too much of one: http://archer.wikia.com/wiki/Doctor_Krieger John Carmack will really need to outdo himself to make the technology for this sort of thing actually viable and not just easy "what will those pervy nerds think of next" news fodder. We are many multiple decades out. I'm speaking strictly as a person who actually had sex mind you.

Nothing but respect for fellow robot sex pioneers ;)

Are you saying, "I, for one, welcome our new sexual robotic overlords"?

Lets be honest kids are a hassle anyway

That future is already here. Reading the book "Pornland" by Gail Dines was both shocking and informative. You can be horrified right now at what kids are consuming.

I'm not sure how dismissing your post is meant to be- but many people in long distance relationships would love having such a product.

Yes I did think that might be one application, though I'm not sure how sold I would be even then. To each their own, and perhaps it would be better than nothing, but it would kill the intimacy aspect for me.

It would obviously be far from perfect, but for a LDR, the basic question would be whether it was better than phone sex, right?
