Breaking Taboos
Talking about sex is becoming less of a taboo now, with intimacy coaching, sexual wellness events and sex toy parties gaining popularity among the young
Astonishing. Perfectly understandable. Precisely what one would expect from the housing towers, the grills, CCTV & sheltered walkways, the malls. F-book and Instagram penetration, the growing automation & robotics in a free fuck everybody/nobody market economy.
Almost real sex toys. Once integrated properly with virtual and augmented reality, pleasure, excitement and comfort at a swipe, at a command of voice. The Internet of Things.
The angles and quirks of these slight, stick figures on the streets that fetch back to the old Chinese scroll paintings could be produced in soft, malleable form for holding, squeezing for dear life, covering the surface with kisses and joining as one body in the time-honoured way.
Superior latex stretched over cheekbones and forming hollows for hungry mouths— like that of the young lass passed on the march up for supper at Tasvee, who had shown a tight chasm yawning. The lovely actresses of the French New Wave knew how to fake a similar pout. A simple, natural look like the Geylang Road girl would be a good deal harder.
Curvaceous limbs had long been straightforward; formerly difficult hands & feet had been mastered more recently with scanning. Delivering convincing animation might not prove insurmountable.
Sculpted smooth jaws like tubers of plants—leeks say.
Ears glistening shells.
And then eyes.
…What were they saying now the bio-anthropologists, how many hundreds of thousands of years had been needed for the human eye to emerge from the earlier closed forms?
Encoding the gestures could not prove too difficult for contemporary technicians; countless sighs & groans were on offer in the audio files. Endless fast & witty conversation derived from novels and the flicks.
With wider usage prohibitive prices would fall and over time superior branded product would soon be available on the shelves & mail-order.
