real touch

Relief coming soon for us nerds and other shut-ins
At the Adult Entertainment Expo in Vegas, the RealTouch was unveiled (about $150) and will go on sale next month. Men stick their clintons into one end of it and hook the other end by USB to their computers, and a video ($1/minute online) sends signals of what's happening on screen to supposedly make you believe you're the one doing it. Yee-hah! Agence France-Presse via Yahoo /// RealTouch.com

$1/minute online? Here's a buck. When can I take my 4 turns?

I think this has been around in Japan for over a year now. $1/minute is way too much. It won't be long before bootleg sites pop up offering this service for way cheaper.

A five finger discount will start to mean something entirely different now.

I've been using a light socket. I don't know if it's cheaper but at least I pass out.

Both "ends" of these type items have been out there for some time now and if you've got a willing partner with the proper equipment (both kinds) you don't need to spend $1 a minute.

I was reading a legal magazine a month or so ago and came upon the best word ever: Teledildonics. Apparently, whoever invented the technology described above is suing Sony and Microsoft for patent infringement because the PS3 and XBox controllers shake when something happens onscreen. Same tech lets you know you've smacked someone on the head in Halo as lets you know you've... er... done something for $1/minute.

I'm Canadian; I don't have a clinton. Will this unit function on my trudeau?

And will their be a variant for women? This seems kind of sexist.

Take a nap, wise @$$.

kingmonkey, there already is! And "feedback" joy sticks were available of the PC a long, long time ago.

Sounds like you've got a case for <u>deflation</u> defamation of clinton there Chuck.
