What would happen if automation replaced one of the most intimate of human behaviors?
When a researcher develops a technology that stimulates sexual desire in users via neural pathways, Pandora's Box is swiftly opened. At first glance, it's a miracle. With the simple push of a button, the device can bring anyone to climax, even those with orgasmic or sexual dysfunction. But soon, a philosophical war rages. Even though the technology a surgically implanted electrode has received the blessing of the FDA, is this really the answer humanity needs?
What impact will this new technology have on sex? How will this alter the very definition of sex? How will relationships evolve in response? What will it do to marriage or fidelity? What effect will it have on intimacy?
Will human sexuality ever be the same or is the cure just another symptom of the disease?
