Eliezer, there are many sexually hungry and lonely people out there, who despite the desire for your ideal would go ahead and wire sex into a single-player game. I certainly do admire you for your take on the matter(if not taken to extremes). Actually your views are somewhat akin to Christianity which generally desires a person to use sex to develop a pleasure bond with their partner. I realize if brainjacking is developed we will see some people showing no more discrimination in using it than an online DOOM player looking for some action in a gaming tournament!
You seem different to me somehow. Are you getting "something something" there in Atlanta?? ; )
I suppose if your parents never warned you about the wanton wickedness of the place you are now residing it is probably far to late for you...
very best wishes,
John
