To change the topic a little....
This is not to discuss the merits/demerits of porn. That belongs to
one of the soc... groups. But this topic got me to thinking. How
many folks remember "Fritz the Cat"? It was an animated X-rated
movie. Every year computer animation improves. How long will it
be before it is possible to make a blue movie without cameras or actors?
After all, the acting in most blue movies is so wooden, I'm sure
a computer could do it as well. Imagine a video box that said
"No actors" instead of "No actors under age 18."  Does anyone
want to hazard a guess on how many years it will be before
technology reaches this point. (I'd guess 25 years, myself.)
One thing I'm sure of, unless the human race changes a whole bunch,
there will come a day when computer generated picuters of sex
look like the real thing and they will be on the market.
  Of course there are other applications for such advanced graphics,
med student training comes to mind right off the bat. Boy, the
future is going to be real interesting.
