Sometimes design advances to a point where one must step back and question. When confronted with the above image you may think the RealTouch looks cool and possibly fun. Definitely futuristic. Anime even. But as your mother used to tell you, it’s what’s inside that counts. And what you find inside the RealTouch is a bit terrifying.
The first time I came across the RealTouch I thought it was a design prototype, and laughed to myself. Surely this thing would never see market. But, I found out recently that it is an honest-to-god retail product. I don’t want to judge things too much before I hear some testimony, but despite the sleek shell, this thing reminds me more of a torture device than a sex machine.
This is one instance where I will gladly accept the word of others, because there is no way I am blindly putting my penis inside of that.
If somehow it isn’t a trip to the ER waiting to happen, the concept is kind of cool. It plugs into your PC and receives data from specially formatted porn films which control the internal movements of the device in an effort to mimic the on-screen action.
Cool? perhaps. Scary and potentially embarrassing? Definitely.
