Men Made Obsolete.

Well, that's done it then: scientists have finally gotten parthenogenesis to work.  They mixed the genes from two female mice and produced offspring.

That's the last thing that men were required for in this world, so I guess we're now officially obsolete.

contrary to popular beleive, hot steamy sweaty sex is hardly achieve with a dildo. Some of us females are still old fashioned that way.

don't worry about your species, you are still needed :)

Nah. You still need to invent a decent jar opener.

Whew!

[swestrup]

That's a relief!

sooner or later, we are going to have a virtual reality device that
is as real as the reality. This means having sex inside it will be
as real as doing it with a man. ;-)

Yeah, but by then we'll have the equivalent thing for men, so I won't be nearly so worried about being obsoleted.

hrmm...maybe
But I still don't think any virtual reality device can duplicate the slight widening of a man's irisis when he looks up while he is being ridden. You see _that_ depends on so many emotional input from both sides that I have a hard time beleiving a virtual reality device could duplicate that. A cocoon can react the right way to a touch/caress/bite/whatever, what it can't do is factor in the fact that you have taped "Romancing the Stone" over his precious "Stanley Cup final 1994" last night.
Virtual reality can be perfect, but can it be better?

That's why virtual reality needs to be integrated with cybernetic
interface to make the experience real.

I don't know what you mean by "better". I know it solves the problem
that there is imbalance in sexual drives and emotional needs between
men and women.

but isn't that imbalance what make it worth ?
I know if I could have sex sex anytime i wanted and only when i wanted and each tiem it would be amazingly good i'd be a very bored person indeed. I dont beleive we can appreciate a good thing if we dont have a bad version of it from time to time to compare. ( and Sti, no a a city wide power shoter on your virtual machine doesnt count as a bad thing )

I've gotten to the point where almost all my friends are male, with the exceptions being all females on my friends list. Without men, I'd be very lonely indeed, and it has nothing to do with sex.
