Love Hotel and Electronics: The Future of Pleasure

The Future of Pleasure

Before and after, irrelevant to time, sex has always been a major part of human life. The endeavors to elaborate and develop sex have continued with time and technology. Time has given technology massive improvement, and technology allowed human sex to be diversified, ubiquitous and more pleasurable. To specifically investigate the time line of sex and technology, in the past with relevantly less developed technologies, the availability of sex limited to auditory and visual sensory. Starting from phone sex, which is a type of virtual sex that refers to sexually explicit conversation between two or more persons via telephone, especially when at least one of the participants masturbates or engages in sexual fantasy, cyber sex using the computer and internet also became widely used.

Online chatting with visual displays available, cyber sex allowed people the satisfaction of visual and auditory pleasure. Another type of sex that employed technology was the use of masturbation objects. Vibrating models of the male sexual organs, or a model of the female sexual organ that gave tactile pleasure was ubiquitous. As technology developed exponentially, the availability of sex grew to a massive scale. Not only did masturbating objects developed with more able functions, sex games, which the user can control the characters in the screen and allow functions such as diverse sexual intercourse postures and realistic sound effect, became a popular medium that benefited from technology.

Also in Japan and the US and other nations, the endeavor to produce sex robots imposing. Recently in the US, a sex robot named Roxy, a world first, life-size robotic girlfriend complete with artificial intelligence and flesh-like synthetic skin was developed, possessing abilities of realistic sexual intercourse.

Information is that pre-orders are already in the unit of thousands. However, multifarious limitations still exist. Sex games and sex robots are limited to the fact that it does not allow actual sexual pleasure with an actual human being. Thus, in order to have actual sexual intercourse, the only means is to engage in sale of sex. Because of the fact that this method accompanies physical and legal risk and monetary dissipation, sex is still shackled under the confines of yet to develop technology. A few months ago occurred the release of the movie Avatar which created a global sensation, triggering massive interest toward realistic avatars and virtual reality. As a lot of creative technology of the 20th century are the imaginary creations of science fiction writers, people are anticipating that the imagination of the move Avatar is not a future far away.
Even ten years ago, mobile phones and mobile television was an unbelievable evolution of technology but is something that is taken for granted nowadays. Thus, the technological development of materializing avatars will be transpired. And the field that will most widely use this technology would be human sex. By using avatars and being connected to virtual reality, people would be able to have much more pleasurable sex. As for the protagonist of the movie Avatar Jake is in real life has a handicap of not being able to move his lower body but is the best fighter and a hero in the avatar world, people with diseases, impotence, old age and more would also be able to have sex. Through avatar sex, people would not have to use contraception or take risks of sexual diseases. Furthermore, the movie avatar does not limit to avatars being controlled, but there is a story of which human join the Navis and learn unimaginable things. This would be the same for future technology. The technology would not limit to merely having sex through avatars, but the implications would be much stronger in that there would be diverse stories bonded to sex and thus people would not be restricted to have sex in stale environments and situations but would be able to enjoy pleasure in diverse situations for the rest of their lives. Technology would allow people to gain massively diverse memories related to sex. If the trend nowadays is producing vulgar pornography, the improved technology of the future would develop massive and fascinating stories and ideas that allow people to enjoy avatar sex, and writers or idea makers of that field would be created to make money systematically. Consequently in the future, sex would be much more diversified and ubiquitous.

A movie in the past that displayed virtual sex is Demolition man.

Korea Fetish- School uniforms

As a very common instinct to human, people tend to attach to and crave things that are forbidden, because things that are granted tend to become dull and are not as exciting. When this instinct is applied to fetishism, there is men’s attachment to high school girls’ school uniform. It’s not an easy fact to admit that a grown man feels sexual desire towards a high school girl wearing a school uniform. But the reality is that in many sex supply shops, girls’ school uniforms are being sold with popularity.

The main point is that forbidden things incite sexual desire much more and since high school girls are a prohibited target to embrace sexual desire, many men secretly solves such sexual desire through purchasing uniforms or going to fetish clubs that have a high school theme, where women wearing school uniforms serve male customers.

Because you are not supposed to unclothe a girl wearing a school uniform, it makes it much more meaningful and exciting for men, and thus generates fetishism towards school uniforms. When this fetishism is expanded to a greater level, there are men’s masturbating tools that are sold under the name such as ‘seventeen’, ‘first school day’, etc.

Other than the reason of sexual incitement by targeting a forbidden target, the issue of virginity is a big factor. Korean men have a fantasy about virgin girls because of the satisfaction of victory of achieving a girls' virginity.

In these days the mass media also uses this mentality of males. Young girl idols wear school uniforms as a concept of song performance.

Because in most part of the world, school uniforms are not very common, school uniform is very Korean fetish, actually more of an Asian fetishism because Japan is very similar in the sense as well.
