With the new year upon us, many people focus on resolutions and 92 percent of those who make them don’t succeed in keeping them. Others look towards the future.
Looking back to the early years of porn, it was never imagined that the internet would come along and completely reshape (and mostly destroy) the magazine business. In the past 10 years, Playboy subscriptions have dropped more than 73 percent, according to magazine circulation figures. Like most other things, industries have a way of tearing themselves down only to be replaced with something better.
We are approaching a time like in the movies, where sex can be simulated and you can be fully immersed in the action. It’s one thing to pay to make a girl cum on webcam, but to pay to have yourself cum?
For 17 years, I have marketed hundreds of different products in the adult industry, and that was before I started JuicyAds, which has delivered millions of dollars in value to our advertisers.
In that time, I have seen the revolution from pictures of naked women on the internet grow only in one direction — interactivity.
It’s taken years for the pieces to be put in place, but we are on the verge of a grand revolution with the combination of sex and technology.
Humans are social creatures. You wouldn’t know it by how much time people spend behind their screens, or on dating sites and Facebook. Even though our interactivity is more digital than ever, that connection is driven by the want for social interactivity.
Years ago we started to see solo girls shift from photos to videos, then onto live webcam shows. It was a chance for members to not just gawk at naked photos, but to engage with the models.
Next came the webcam companies with hundreds of models. These girls have a following and it comes from the social interaction and feeling of belonging — and in a subconscious way thinking that maybe (just maybe) if you talk nice to that hot girl, she will fall in love with you. But first, put in another $100. There is a new webcam website PantyBay.com where you can pay for a sex show and then get the girl’s panties when she’s done! How far we’ve come.
Sex interactivity is still moving beyond this. Durex came out with interactive Fundawear for long-distance couples to “touch” from over the internet.
You may also remember the RealTouch device that looked like it might eat your penis. Haptic technology in the RealTouch device was meant to be joined with videos (for a fee) so that you could actually feel the experience, synced with the action on screen.
Then there are the remote-controlled sex machines you can use to virtually fuck girls online. More commonly, though, webcam models use vibrators that respond to the sound of tips paid by viewers. You can pay to get a girl off directly from your wallet.
Most of these devices are ahead of their time and initial failures will lead to other products being far more successful.
We are approaching a time like in the movies, where sex can be simulated and you can be fully immersed in the action. It’s one thing to pay to make a girl cum on webcam, but to pay to have yourself cum? That’s the next big thing. We already have the technology to do it between haptics and virtual reality. Imagine being able to put on your VR headset and be connected with another human through technology and have sex with them. That is where we are going.
Scott Adams once said, “When virtual reality gets cheaper than dating, society is doomed.” Youth are already so addicted to their devices this may occur in this generation.
More than 15 percent of adults in the U.S. have already tried online dating. Why go out when you can stay in? There’s little risk in meeting in a virtual space. No need to have a friend call you with a fake emergency. You can just turn off your device and the date is over. Poof. The only limiting factor is only the distribution of the technology, but with the use of a cellphone with Google cardboard, that is already within reach of everyone.
As of this year, my wife and I are finally married and living together after three years of flights back and forth every two to three weeks. What I would have paid for the technology to be with her virtually in a sexual way is beyond my imagination. It surely would have never replaced being there but it would have been enormously cheaper than the flights.
We are already destroying our relationships by “phubbing” our significant others in favor of our mobile phones. People are being killed on the roads because they need to read the text that just came in. We are already utterly addicted to our devices that the next step is to remove people from our lives and love them through our devices.
Online dating was taboo and frowned upon. Porn was taboo and frowned upon. Both are much more mainstream and accepted in the younger generation. Tinder allows for easy casual sex.
It’s only a matter of time before watching porn, online dating and sex dating are all antiquated. Who will pay to watch porn videos when the adult industry will be leading the new taboo? Fully legal sex with porn stars or strangers through your computer, for a price. Just click here, put on your headset and open your wallet.
