Even though the gods are crazy even though the stars are blind
I've been on a nostalgic click lately. It could be because Dusty just turned 3 and Charlie Mae turned 4. It could also be in the air now that we're settling into that fall back season. Being the hardass that I can be, the way I shake out of it is by looking ahead. I don't like predicting things but I'm trying to not be absolutely terrified of 2020 coming at us in less than three months. I'm making mental and emotional inventories now so that I can sit right in December.
When I was looking to the future I remembered those crazy days of foreplay posts. I haven't written one in about six years. I pretty much retired them just as we started to settle into married life and focus our energies elsewhere. If you haven't heard of them, take a refresher course. So, after babies and a few years I can't help but think about what's in store for us. What is sex going to be like in 2020 and beyond.
There are major developments with technology. Even in the last six years, we went from oh my bods and facetime for our sexual things to now having life like robots, VR simulators and avatars.
VR Simulators and tech. I'm going to start with this one first because we've come aloooooooong way. I remember the days when there were gadgets for orgasm stimulation via remote control but you had to been at least in the same room with the other person. Soon that won't even be the case. A long distance relationship won't feel distant at all when you can connect very intimately via surges of your partner's electrical love taps. Really just feel like making out? There's an app for that. For those craving just a cuddle, they're already testing out a shirt that hugs you as your partner does. There's also a pillow that makes it seem like you're sleeping near your partner's heartbeat. I also read a recent story where BMW walked back having sex in their self driving car.
Avatars. What will sex be like in the future? Will we just gather in chatrooms and bump and grind a la black mirror? Possibly. There are already two sites where you create your own whatever and do anything you want all in the space of a sex positive site with other sex positive beings. To be honest, this was only a matter of time after the graphics on video games got even better. I mean I've been doing it for years with the Sims. Will we still get our kicks the same way? Who knows. As humans we still need touch as part of living but with the statistic now of 1 in 4 adults not having sex in the last 12 months, the dip in sexual intercourse with one another leaves something to be desired. And as an aside, studies are still out whether CBD will also aid in sex and if plastic is going the way it is, what is going to happen with latex. I've got questions for the future.
Robotics. I'm not even going to link to this because if you've ever seen Sophie, you'd be scared for your life. I am. This has been an ongoing development since 2015 but companies are starting to get the details more and more realistically. I've even heard they could be developed in order to teach thorough sexual education, as if we'd be that open minded to allow that, and even to help teens and young adults practice consent and pleasuring a partner before the jump. I mean. If fucking only. There are plenty of predictions as to how this'll shape the future. It's wild to me to think how far we've come but also how deeply lacking in one area everything is. Fake skin and electric pressure points can't give me the same kind of satisfaction. Being able to feel the life of another person as you hold and touch them just can't be replicated to me but what do I know. I'm an old.
One of the first questions a few people have asked was why? Well for starters, I've been *here* since 2003. There are a lot of reasons why it's my time. I've been playing Adam too long and never left. Because celeb is really getting annoying as you age and social media can make you disgusted. Because Adam is 40 and is probably having a mid-life crisis right now (and no we are not going to talk about the cornrows and crossfit, thank you ma'am). Because he's not being as visible as he used to be. Because if we're all honest, my heart stopped being in this 4 years ago. Because its time to leave home. Because god, I have way too many Maroon 5 t shirts for a whole grown ass adult.
It's been hard to leave a place you grew to love from the outside first. I mean fuck, had I gotten my hands on an Ian Somerhalder journal first? I would have dipped out ten years ago. But I didn't. I got this guy whose hair was sus and played him with some human emotions that didn't come out of his dick. I wouldn't have made it without so many people I've encountered. Adam as I wrote him has gone through so many ups and downs, and so so so so so so so so so many cringe entries and situations. I treasure some of them and I'm thankful my memory is kind of shit because I've forgotten so many before Ode came into the picture.
Since this is my swan song, I really want to write in your yearbooks. Xoxo Adam
To those long gone...
