Technosexual: One Man's Tale of Robot Love

Zoltan is a 33-year-old guy from Georgia. Average height, average looks, and not a rich man. He works in an arcade, where he fixes video games for a living, and still lives with his elderly parents.

Kiss Phone Opens Up New Frontier of Teledildonic Possibilities

Let's let him explain it:
"This KissPhone detects percussion speed, pressure, temperature, and sucking force of the lips, when you kiss it. An artificial mouth on the phone can reproduces same parameters to the kissphone receptor."
So now you can send and receive kisses from a distance, and even record your favorites for repeated playback. Anything you can do with data, you can now do with a kiss. Imagine that. Wonder what else the Kiss Phone feels like kissing. [Pro Invention]
