I - USER MANUAL
sex and sexuality can still be very tricky subjects. even more so if they are not only beeing debated but also practiced behind and in front of the masks of anonymity and in the realm of cyber space - where everything seems possible but eventually very little actually is.
the convergence of sexual desire in its body-driven and hormon-regulated form, with - whatever it is that we do on the internet - is of a purely fictional nature. conceptions of lust; ideas of body, mind and even life itself collide with one another. they themselfs appear to perform something sexual while they merge in the stream of interaction, discourse and computer-calculated satisfaction.
dialectics of lust. this may be the name we shall give to this remarkable feature of our yet so strange behaviour and thinking. what do we do when we go for online-porn and online-satisfaction? what concept of sex do we want to practice: getting fucked by the other or i wank therfore i am?
the existence or reality of assumed entities, abstract ideas and concepts has always been heavily discussed. and this is most likely to be continued. but, despite the gods, unicorns and belief-systems, do we know how real the other person on the far side of our monitor, really is? if this reality is as real as you and me, then what is all the fuss about?
with both the computer and the internet beeing more than just modern tools for a postmodern world, we might get used to the idea that there are no longer any >real< significant others on the other side of the network. Sure, there are real people in body and flesh, but who is to say that you are one of them. or i?
while this question stretches over far distant metahysical lands, the very foundations of our social practices are beeing challenged. sex incorporates power, hierarchy and conceptions of order, which regulate not only our behaviour to fuck but also the mental image of how we interact in a society as a whole. what we do is changing who we are. could it be so simple?
...
...alternative concepts of love outside the bourgeois core family? lust and desire vs love and warmth? legitimate distinction of those two? or are they just different sides of the same thing?

bdsm vs strategic force fields
...slave-play as twisted turnside of a "cold" hieracical rational
- why is it hotter to play_be a slave then stocking shelfs for tesco?
...are there signs for another "sexual" revolution? flowers and peace to free clips and instant messages?
but stranger yet, as we eagerly await the thrill of contact, of reference and reality; the machine reaches back to and into us. this line of code, this message from a stranger is a programm of its own kind. it is not only machine-transmitted communication, not mere intelligence without an intellect. if words are meant to tickle, the cold-heartedness of the machine can not take the lust away from them. it only interprets the human emotions, such as desire, anger, need, sympathy etc. into a command which can be read, written, and understood by both machine and human. the stange familiarity we encounter, and the uncanny glance to the mechanic organism could be explained by this binary-code-clash.
organisms vs. orgasms...
...who is talking? me or the message-system? > black-box of desire
...what to make of tentacle-porn?
...fantasy vs. pornography
playing lustfully and lust as a plaything. is lust just the other, more or less, emancipated side of reproduction and procreation of the human body? is it the drive towards an inner sanctum or a mere catalyst for body-mechanics under the pretext of our genetic inprint and its purpose to be regenerated? play and playing are generally beeing connected to various phases of human develoment and the process of growing up or coming of age. naturally, we all play but not only as or with c***dren but also amongst and with ourselves.
play as a concept is divided into at least two sides: play to learn and play for pleasure. once a certain age, position and set of skills is acquired, playtime is over. this does not mean that we can not learn anymore but the filter of practices has shifted. this cut is often perceived as a severe >loss< but the end of innocence and safe protection overshadows a much more interesting point: the shift from play to work. since we can not play to learn anymore we have to work for pleasure.
this structure of social interaction and its culturally build setting shapes not only the pattern of desires and expections but also the mode of intercourse, both on and off the screen. the attempt to liberate the lust and sexuality of c***dren is not the way to untie this twisted ****. for they too, eventually turn into adults and will be faced with the same dilemma.
to play is to explore, is to pretend and to expand. to persue our lust should mean to go on an adventure, both physiclly and mentally. now, does the internet and all other forms of media enable us to start this undertaking, those first and second steps with a lighter heart? Does it make it easier to put the boots on or to take them off? what and how will sex on mars go about?
sex, science and fiction....
...separation of physical sex partners
...intercourse without carnal contact?
...sex as a neurological process > enhancers, stimuli, virtual ecstasy
...how to plug-in into the >machine<?
production of content and the online market for sex. what is the product, who the producer? amateur content as a challenge for the industry and a catalyst for consumer/consumption change.
