I have a computer, a vibrator, & pizza delivery. Why should I leave the house?
forget about the pizza for now, let's go for the desires of the flesh. cybersex never happened except a hype that died right after the summer break ? hummmm, things are moving though. So why stay home with the modem, the modem with the internet, where you might find someone likeminded (or your choosen partner far from you ... ), hand over power over the power button in exchange. buzzzzzzz and be buzzzzzzzed.

The story of an electronic device has arrived.
"The first to be electrified was the
sewing machine, in 1889, followed by the fan, the teakettle, and the toaster. The vibrator beat out the vacuum cleaner and
the iron by a decade."

I found it very interesting to find some quite different aspects of sex-devices within the texts of the Kama-Sutra. Most translations of this ancient Sanskrit writing are not exactly female-friendly, but when it comes to toys you find not only a great deal of knowledge - and experience - but also very kind advice for both women and men.
An artificial Lingam could be made from
gold or silver or copper or iron or horn, tin or lead, both soft; wood, which is very popular, or other materials, like those offered by nature. Sizes vary greatly and handling with care is demanded. To make things easy the device is always the ladies choice: according to her wishes, for her pleasure only. Men should feel free to use substitutes. (no word about guilt, shame or any kind of pressure 'to function', there's always a way to heaven.) Harnesses are discribed as well as creative combinations of toys. The most suprising news tell about the southern tradition of penis piercing: widend holes, oiled openings where any imaginable object could be inserted. How about that ?! Back to the female interests - one for the way:
"
In order to assuage the woman's itch, the front part of the vulva must be rubbed hard."
