We admit to being sort of creeped out by this: A Japanese lab has created a device that may let let you "French kiss" someone over the Internet.

Yuck!

I bet the French are like "Damn why didn't we think of that!"

I think they will soon be replacing "straws" with longer larger more life-like "straws".

Maybe a lifelike tongue.

I'm holding out for the virtual oral sex. Mmmm...waggling straw...

What's next? A virtual partner at the other end? Virtual virtual sex? Well... maybe if it was J Lo.

Here's another creepy thought. What if you find out that gorgeous 25 year old female at the other end is really a 95 year old man and a pervert to boot. Bleeeeeech?!

Fortunately you can always rely on "trusty" chat rooms for the real deal

If I recall correctly some "clever" folks were working on a "tele-dildonic" (yes that is what they were gong to call it) suit several years back.

In the story I read, circa late 90s early 2000s, you would put this suit on and power it up. Select the correct gender (probably of paramount importance, this part) and your preference and it would "do your thing". Perhaps there was even plans to make them networkable?

All I could think of was, first 'WHY?" and second, I hope its self cleaning, and of course thirdly what if the thing went berserk. Would it recognise a 'safety' word? Death by teledildonic suit is not my idea of a keen obit, but imagine the poor mortician trying to get the smile of the persons face.

Yes indeed first a screw suit and now a frenching machine, aint technology wonderfull! I'm holding out for 'Smell-o-Rama'. Wouldn't that bring a whole new reality to agricultural shows.

Smell-o-rama's already been done:

I'm sure that http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGMZTCfuYVk this could be modified to be less "medical"

A device that rotates a straw remotely. That's all they could come up with? Makes you wonder if the inventor has ever kissed someone before.
