Online Dating @ Restaurants and Nightclubs

New York band Mobile Steam Unit's tremendous "Sex with O.S." makes one think - is VRS - Virtual Reality Sex the next online dating? Why should guys spend $250.00 for a dinner in Vegas for Batch O'Women Dot Com when some ladies of the night charge less? Then, if you get a hotel for your online date, your spending 5 bills because of your inability to interact with human beings in "real life."

Some online daters have the excuse that it is "the way things are done in 2018." File that as: excuses from damaged people too nerdy to learn the art of conversation. But with Virtual Reality Sex you can cut and paste your cutie like Arnold Schwarzenegger did in Total Recall, his buddy Hank Morgan (actor Michael Rappaport) doing the same thing kinda sorta in The 6th Day. No muss, no fuss, just have your operating system conjure up some "Sex with O.S." Guys can post the picture of their three young sons to brag to the perspective electronic lovers with no thought of Glenn Close from Fatal Attraction cooking up rabbit stew with the family pet. However, posting kids online to lure live sex partners - not some digital blow-up doll - live sex partners that you never want to see again when morning comes - well, it is troubling. Using little Robby, David and Mikey for trade bait when your goal is a quickie, not wicked stepmom III, look - ol' Judy is no prude, but isn't that a prescription for trouble?

Do you really think "true love" can be found on dating sites when some divorced women are rebounding a week after they split from the family breadwinner, unprotected sex and gold digging are the rule, not the exception, and with how many partners? Do you really think ANYONE, male or female, wants to give out their sexual pedigree over cocktails in a Las Vegas bar, swapping spit like 17 year old virgins in heat, just despicable behavior by people usually with low self image and desperation in their eyes. Oh they play it cool, and the next day: rejection. Got a free $250.00 Vegas dinner out of it, though, so someone walks away the winner.

Virtual reality relations can save marriages, help families stay together and - in Vegas - give adventurous people more money for the one armed bandit!

My husband's on the couch asleep. We have our routine and we're happy. I write, he snoozes, what's wrong with that? Sure he was my high school sweetheart, but that doesn't mean we both weren't tempted through the years at parties, concerts, the golf course - whatever. Just because we would both look at attractive people doesn't mean we gave in to the temptation. No matter how mad I get at him I am thankful he's in my life. And yes, when we've fought, we have thrown names out at each other of people we would have loved to have had a fling with BUT we're both too pragmatic to throw away what we've got. Call us boring, I never worry where he is and what he is doing, he phones me relentlessly throughout the day. Do you think he's co-dependent? Actually, I find it quite charming. But that's us. We met the old fashioned era of the sex, drugs and rock and roll sixties, and it amazes me every day that we survived that.

Oh Judy's ranting on her site without trying it out. No, I was just inspired by the Mobile Steam Unit song "Sex With O.S." to scribble these ideas about the future of sex. I like the whole concept. Can you see me at the computer getting off on a cornucopia of guys from the daily soaps uploaded and ready to go? Hubby wakes up, sees me with the hankie wiping up the drool from the delicious platter in front of me, and goes right back to sleep! Ho hum, happy that I'm home, happy that I'm happy and he doesn't have to perform his husbandly duties. It's a win/win! The thought gets me all hot and bothered just thinking about it.

CORNUCOPIA

• an abundant supply of good things of a specified kind. "the festival offers a cornucopia of pleasures"

Where online dating is a problem, digital sex is a solution. Get me my super computer for Christmas, I've already got a laundry list of digital guys I will create from Google Images that I want to rally with! It's the new definition of safe sex!
