[Aaaanndd, we’re **not** talking about using your PC as a toilet, if you know what I mean. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.](http://www.crunchgear.com/2009/01/12/realtouch-break-all-the-rules-without-breaking-any-promises/) > [@](#): > > In the long and storied history of teledildonics, science has always tried to recreate the inside of a woman’s wee-wee and poop parts with accuracy, tact, and lubrication. Well, friends, all those years of effort have paid off with the RealTouch, a honking big device that recreates every nuance of the human anatomy, albeit in a way that makes it look like you’re violating Mr. Peanut. > > How does it work? While you watch a video on your PC, the device reacts to the on-screen action. Dual rubber bands run up and down inside the case while a handy reservoir releases lube. The action corresponds with motion cues sent over U.S.B. from your computer. ensuring that you staring at your computer with a log on your lap isn’t creepy at all. Wonder what happens if you hit Ctl+Alt+Del in a moment of passion? ---

This may seem like a dumb question, but is the link SFW? ---

> [@Agent\_Foxtrot](#): > > This may seem like a dumb question, but is the link SFW? Yup. Its to Crunch Gear and has a photo of a woman wearing a labcoat, holding what looks to be an albino Mr. Peanut. There _is_ a NSFW link on the Crunch Gear site, but its clearly labeled as such. ---

It’s “boldly _come_”. 🙂 And the question, as usual in these situations, is: who’s going to clean this thing? Edit: just looked at the website. :eek: I think the most surreal thing is the lab-coated woman going on in a perky voice about all the different sexual responses that can be simulated with this thing. Evidently it syncs to videos… ---

Well, there goes a good chunk of the human gene pool… 😃 ---

Geez… if you look at the schematic, it looks like a belt sander for your crank! I think I’ll pass. ---

I can’t help it… There once was a man from Moline Who invented a fucking machine. Both concave and convex it could serve either sex. But, oh, what a bastard to clean. ---

> [@Sunspace](#): > > … Evidently it syncs to videos… That’s the catch. You have to pay to watch their porn, which is embedded with commands for the robo-pussy (or robo-mouth, depending). The $150 hardware (heehee!) is a pretty reasonable price, but the movie costs? Doesn’t say. What it does say is that there is no viewable product available yet. ---

This is one of those products where it pays to wait for the second generation product to come out. I’ll let the more adventurous beta test that thing before I stick my schlong into a mechanical orifice with belts and gears. Although, it is quite a bit cheaper than it’s competitor, the Venus 2000 at $875. ---

So, after missing this thread and opening one I suspect will be closed soon: Do the folks that use this add much to the genepool _anyway_? And I fully expect someone to have a review and post back here, because we’re all double-dog-daring you to go try it. (Whoever you may be…yes you…we’re talking to you.) ---

Does this seem completely unappealing to anyone else? I don’t think getting it on online will really take off until we can go to a real Matrix-style virtual reality. Valete, Vox Imperatoris ---

Course I obviously don’t mind when I get a lady to do all the work for me 😃 ---

If I had a penis, I don’t think I’d want to stick it inside something which is filled with fleshy-colored tank treads, in the interest of continuing to have a penis.
