There is a lot more to sex than just the physical act. Speaking from personal experience sex is a lot more than just orgasm, and the emotional state involved in sharing the act with another person makes a significant difference in the experience. I don't want to launch a long discussion here about sexuality, or to to imply that the poster referenced has an inadequate sex life, just wanted to point out that I think there are some things computers SHOULD never be made to attempt.
