As innovations move into the mainstream, Barss said, for-profit pornography can lose revenue, which in turn fuels research and development.

"Pornography isn’t going away. It is following its usual pattern of innovating, growing, seeing others catch up and take away some of its lead, and developing the next big thing."

Barss has studied and written about technology for years and at one stage wrote features and columns for weekly magazines while administering a computer network and training writers and editors in technology and desktop publishing.

He said that the pornography industry is doing a lot of work to add touch to audio and video sensations carried over the Internet or through movies. "There are new haptic technologies out there that the pornography industry is adopting that would make your average mainstream people cringe," he said. The pornography industry calls the technologies "teledildonics" or "cyberdildonics."

Barss spoke of a robotics engineer in California who, in his spare time, is the leader of what is essentially a large group of garage engineers working on teledildonics.

Anyone heard any news as to if and when the RealTouch will be back in stock?

Actually, it's good to see the positive role that porn plays in society being trumpeted for a change.
