The "body suit" is another new device

The "body suit" is another new device. It would stimulate many different erogenous zones simultaneously, thereby intensifying physical experience. They would use sensors to stimulate touch and will likely be custom-fitted to accommodate a wide range of body types and proportions.

Different sensor pads might be located throughout the body suit, each designed to stimulate a specific region of the body in variable and programmable ways. Other sex machines have employed the use of suction cups and vibrating parts. Primitive body suits have reportedly been developed, but met with opposition from federal agencies due to medical concerns.

On another front, television has gradually migrated to increased suggestiveness. This trend toward sexualizing music is epitomized for our youth through stations such as MTV. Imagine celebrities of the future may very well take their suggestiveness a step further. For the price of a concert ticket, imagine wearing a body suit and having cyber-sex with a suggestive MTV pop singer. Imagine that you feel every thrust of the superstars' gyrations, with sensors strategically placed to throb and pulse until you reach orgasm.

Then imagine having sex with your life partner later that evening. After feeling the superstar afterglow, where will your thoughts go as you make love to your partner? Will your thoughts go to the superstar? How will sex with the partner compare to cyber-sex with the superstar?

Let's take you a step further into the psychological complications that might arise from such technical wonders. If you solve your marital problem by having your partner join you for the evening's cyber-sexual activities, where will your partner's thoughts go during lovemaking with you? Will you have the skills to keep connected to each other? Or will you silently join the ranks of the increasing population of "at-risk" individuals who engage in cyber-sexual compulsivity?

As the Internet evolves to providing increasingly life-like erotica, users of pornography are proportionately at risk for committing infidelity. For these people, it will become ever more important that discussions of relationship agreements be clarified to include all forms of technology. Unfortunately, it is more likely that for these groups, such discussions with their offline partners will be avoided.
