    In reply to Becoming a Sexual Cyborg (NSFW)
    While relationships are sometimes difficult, I feel the loss of human interaction, passion and affection cant be replaced, even by the IStud. Sex isnt just about the most technically perfect orgasm (or 5) that you can have, but its about exploration, passion, caring, friendship, and whatever else the individual brings to the mix. IStud might be fun once, but for the long haul, serious hot passionate sex, give me a very real, flesh and blood, imperfect human. Anything we dont do technically perfect the first time, we can go back and get it right the second time. #sextoys

    Ideally I prefer toys that can be played with together as a couple, but I must say I am intrigued by the concept of a toy that can be played with as a long distance couple. #sextoys

    @Software_Goddess: Agreed. The concept of being able to physically stimulate one another long distance is great. Being a wordsmith and storyteller, I appreciate what imagination and voice alone can accomplish for long distance couples, but the ability to add physical sensations is an amazing idea. Unfortunately, some silly concepts (and the unfortunate moniker of "teledildonics") have created a stigma that will mostly likely tarnish the acceptability and legitimacy for many, for a long time. As it it, sex toys for males carry a tremendous stigma, as opposed to female sex toys which have become quite generally acceptable, or even fashionable. #sextoys

    It's official. My penis is just for show.

    *EDIT* I'm not going to stick a joystick in my ass and wiggle around. I'm not going to hold two liters while I screw someone over the internet.

    @Mike Zuniga: Your original comment, in my opinion, was a compliment. I personally don't believe the content had anything to do with you being unstarred.

    This may clear things up a bit...
    [gawker.com]

    Specifically:
    "Now about those star powers. The editors are the only ones who can give you a star, and we'll be giving them out to the commenters we trust the most. This means that many people who have stars now will be losing them."

    It's an older FAQ entry, and whether or not it is relevant to your situation, I do not know. But if so, my condolences. I can sympathize with the loss of a star. Good luck getting it back. You'd earned it. #sextoys

    @met2art: personally, I think it's important to ignore ranking, starring, modding, rep, etc on boards. What are we, a bunch of asskissers? I'd rather say what I want and be dugg down (to cite the most obtuse modding- ever) than to forever try to find the right thing to say to make the hall monitors praise me. Don't sweat it, kid- there's a bigger world out there.

    edit: (this is all fabulously ironic, I know, since Mike was indeed kissing ass).

    In any case, the author completely misused "pun intended." I just wanted to point that out. Besides there being no pun in 'Ride On', if there were, and it was good, it would be obviously intended.

    @robogobo: The whole star system is a load of BS. It's supposed to make Giz easier to read but it doesn't work. Instead if you don't turn on all comments -which everyone should do, not that this would ever get modded up enough that the people who it is addressed to hear it - then you get to see the same old people trying the same old jokes again.

    Some of them are funny. But their comments would get modded up in a normal mod system anyway.

    Star system = FAIL

    It's really amazing, actually. I used to read Engadget but then their comment system was so hopelessly broken that I switched to Giz. It was good for a while, then the introduced the star system. #sextoys

    Hey, John, ever consider a "This Week's Best Android Apps"? Us Android users need some love, too.

    Even if it is slightly different, and even if the developer thought of it on their own, I'd still like to take credit for having inspired ARGH when I wrote "I want to see an augmented reality application based on 'They Live.'" back in July. Now all the developer needs to do is add the option to blow them alien/ghost's heads off - I'd pay $2 for that. #theweekiniphoneapps

    If you're on this site you probably agree with 95-100% of what Specter is talking about.

    Why people try to hinder any kind of progress is beyond me. Instead of the old "If it ain't broke" mentality....we should always be thinking..."How can we make this better" Everything has room for improvement! #syntheticbiology

    I don't think it matters if the research is could lead to the "Worst Case scenario", like Mr. Specter says, someone somewhere will be doing it so it might as well be us. #syntheticbiology
