Encyclopedia > Dildonics

Dildonics are electronic sex toys that can be controlled by a computer. Promoters of the devices claim that they will be the next "big thing" in cybersex technology. Teledildonics (also known as Cyberdildonics) is the integration of telepresence with sex. The term is considered somewhat humorous and speculative but not so much that it cannot be used in serious contexts; indeed it is the only commonly-used word to express the precise concept. In the original conception, this technology could be used for "remote" sex (or, at least, remote mutual masturbation), where the physical sensations of touch could be transmitted over a data link between the participants. A sex toy is a term for any object or device that is primarily used in facilitating human sexual pleasure. ... Cybersex or computer sex is a virtual sex encounter in which two or more persons connected remotely via a computer network send one another sexually explicit messages describing a sexual experience. ... It has been proposed that Telerobotics be merged and redirected into this article. ... A pair of lions copulating in the Maasai Mara, Kenya. ... Mutual masturbation is a sexual act where two or more people stimulate one another sexually, usually with the hands. ...

A dildo is a penis-shaped device intended for bodily interaction during masturbation or sexual intercourse. ... Rubber fetishism is the fetishistic attraction to people wearing rubber, or in certain cases, to the garments themselves. ... Medical fetishism is a paraphilia where the activities and paraphernalia of medicine are eroticised. ...


Recent technological innovations such as the 'cyber glove' which projects the wearers hand into virtual space, and innovations in haptic technology such as the glove produced by the University of Buffalo which enable wearers to experience tactile stimuli corresponding to this virtual space, suggest that this fantasy may prove not to be so fantastical. There are as yet no verifiable reports of haptic technology being used for sex, however sex toys that can be manipulated remotely by another party are currently coming onto the market. These devices sometimes come with prerecorded movies to which the device's actions are synchronized by means of a separately written script. Haptic means pertaining to the technology of touch. ... Tactition is the sense of pressure perception. ...
