Just for the record..I'm not saying for one moment that this would be a good thing or that it could replace real partners..I just found the articles and put it up here to contemplate as a very probable part of our future. I can see them becoming an eventual extension of stuff available already;especially their application for alternatives in red light areas. It is the stuff of science fiction that could be part of our reality soon and for me, a sci-fi fan I find it quite incredible to imagine.I thought it was interesting to discuss, that is all. I'm sorry if that makes me a freak on a site that is supposed to be open to all kinds of stuff...
