The sex and technology, a long history of love – Diário de Notícias – Lisbon

every time that appears a new source of energy or raw materials, soon comes someone who asks: how is it that I can use this for sexual pleasure?

Since the human being discovered how to manufacture utensils (that is, produce technology) that applies to sex. Exaggeration? Not. The “toy sex” oldest known, a dildo of stone, has about 28 thousand years ago – before the invention of agriculture. And there are depictions of sexual acts even older, with at least 35 thousand years. Early mankind began to use the latest technological innovations or artistic concepts blended) as tools of pleasure. Today, we do exactly the same.

Depending on the society has become more technological, and multiplied inventions of this kind. The boom in the european science of the victorian era gave us: the vibrator (first steam, in 1869, and soon after, electric), prescribed to cure the “histerias female”; the butt plug, called Dilator Rectal by the american Frank E. Young in 1892, made of solid rubber with 10 cm length and three in diameter, sold as a treatment for haemorrhoids (!); and the commonly called “dolls inflatable”, make their first appearance in France in 1904 – shortly after the invention of vulcanized rubber. (To learn more, read this interesting and informative article).

it Is as if, each time that appears a new source of energy or raw materials, soon comes someone who asks: how is it that I can use this for sexual pleasure?

Let us go over to the side of the film (the first pornographic movies dating back to 1896), the telephone (the “telessexo” has become a lucrative business in the 1980s, but it is impossible to know when it was done, the first phone call of the genre) and television (old enough to remember the phenomenon of the “channel 18″ on cable tv? The clash with the Empire of the Senses on Channel 2? And of the scandal of Duck with Orange RTP1? it’s so ridiculous that we were!) and enter into the immense world of the “new technologies”.

Is that there is hardly ground more fertile for the “adult entertainment” of which computers (and the internet). The relationship of the digital world with sex is like some marriages: reciprocal and fruitful.

One of the creations the RealDoll promise of what will be the robots the sex of the future (next)

According to Forbes, it is estimated that up to 30% of the internet traffic today is devoted to sexual content. And the porn it has even been the great motivator of technological evolution.

Many of the codecs (encoders/decoders) used to transmit video over the internet has been perfected in the service of the porn sites that they need to transmit their “films” using the least bandwidth possible.

sex toys have evolved to gadgets digital, which connect to smartphones, as is the case of vibrators that can be controlled at a distance, over the internet, through an app (ideal, for example, for couples who spend long seasons away).

growing is also the supply of pornography for virtual reality – yet, as he discovered the site specialized VRHeads, a few are still quality. (They tested us.)

But the big revolution will come from robotics. Or, to put it another way, the next generation “dolls (and the dolls) inflatable”, which this week were news. Robot sex will be able to speak, respond to touch and simulate the touch and the temperature of the human body. Are being developed by companies such as american Abyss Creations (www.realdoll.com) and expected to reach the market in the next year. The expected price? 13 thousand euros. Drill core, perhaps, but the amortization of the value will depend on the use that gives to the product…
