Eliezer, there are a lot of lonely and/or ambitious people out there who would find brainjack sex acceptable as a single-player game, or even as a pleasure stimulus package to induce higher productivity. And actually your stance is somewhat similar to the Christian one which states sex should be used to both bond with and pleasure one's partner, instead of simply being a solitary tension reliever. Of course some people might use such a technology with all the discrimination of an online DOOM player in a tournament!
Are you getting "something something" there in Atlanta? I sense something different about you. ; )
I suppose if your parents never did warn you about the wanton wickedness residing in Atlanta it's probably far too late now...
very best wishes,
John
