Science Will Turn You On

switch.jpgHere’s an invention for the sex kitten in all of us: scientists in the UK have developed a chip that will stimulate the pleasure centers of the brain. In other words, this chip will turn you on.

The technology is very rough at the moment, but the people behind it (all men, I presume) say that it should be perfected within the next 10 years. What does perfect look like?

“When the technology is improved . . . it will be more subtle, with more control over the power so you may be able to turn the chip on and off when needed.”

So, on at home and off during class? On during class and off with the parents? On with the boy and a quick off when the roommate walks in?

At first glance this gadget seems pretty fantastic, but think about it: once guys know they can just “flip a switch” to get you in the mood, the romance will be over. Say goodbye to flowers, candy and those sweet nothings in your ear. Give a little TTFN to makeout sessions, opening doors and nibbling on your neck. Hell, say goodbye to foreplay. With the ease of flipping this switch, guys won’t need to work for it anymore.

I am all for technological advancements in TVs, music players and cars, but let’s leave sex to nature, shall we? Call me old fashioned (and a little kinky), but I like the old way.

    this reminds me of a Woody Allen im sure none of you have seen, Sleeper.

    in the movie there is a machine called the Orgasmatron, where you step in with a partner (or solo, or partners) and it gets you off in under 10 seconds.

    Woody’s charector is disgusted with it and explains he likes the old fashion way better.

    Or like that gizmo in Demolition man too.

    either way, i think the “old fashioned” way is much more fun!

    buut i can see how this would be nice for people who are paralyzed maybe, or people who are not easily arousued, or have that irrational fear of penises. Im sure there are plenty of good intentioned applications.

    So.. I’d love to have one of those remotes and a chip in my girl.. I’d use it for my own pleasure but I think I’d also flip the switch at low levels when she does stuff like clean the dishes.. I could start to hardwire behavior that I wanted :P Naw.. just kidding but I can see abuse potential if they have remotely activated switches ’cause a store could switch it on at low levels when you are near or a fast food place could switch it in on the dining area. :/ Eh it’s an alright idea but I have fun planning dates and treating my girl to a good night.. a switch would ruin all of the fun. Plus I’d miss foreplay if it made her want to skip it.

Tell us what you're thinking...

The CC Weekly Weigh In: Bring On The Reality (TV)!

Last week, as I fired up the DVR to catch up on all the shows I’d missed from the week, I had a rather enlightening moment. Sorta like an Oprah “aha!” moment, only way more embarrassing. My entire DVR was taken up by reality shows. Top Chef, Project Runway, The Real Housewives, Ace of Cakes… Hell, I even had a little Real World/Road Rules Duel on there.
