Having an Iphone has made these last few days in Austin a lot easier. Between the GPS and the scheduling function that SXSW has set up, I haven't been lost (unless I don't have service.) I understand I am very, very lucky to have an Iphone. I saved up for it and didn't splurge on other things, along with having a phone with an antenna (!) until a few months ago. Needless to say, similar to Nezua, I really love my Iphone.
If you are a nerd, like me, you have heard that the Iphone has released a new version of their Iphone software. It is going to add a whole new list of features that the current software fails to have. I am really excited about these new features. But as much as I love my Iphone, I have never thought seriously about having sex with my Iphone. I am going to be totally honest with you. Sometimes I want to make-out with my Iphone-it is just simply a divine piece of technology-but I haven't personally thought about using it as a vibrator or as device to have phone sex with someone.
These authors disagree. Both, My Sexy Professor and Gizmodo are discussing different ways you can have sex with your Iphone. Last year at SXSW I wrote about a panel that discussed the ways that humans interact with technology to have sex. I think this brings up really interesting questions about the role of technology in our sex lives. Generally, discussions of the role of technology (and by this I mean in the geek world, not dildonics) is generally skewed towards male sexuality (teledildonics, pornography, etc) but does the Iphone allow for a new more female centric form of sex via technology that the geek world has ignored until now?

I wouldn't be able to answer your question, because I have a blackberry curve!!
This was a breath of fresh air blog entry, in these intense times coupled by intense blog convos. ;-)
Okay, you're officially stupid... you just wrote a piece all about how much you love your iPhone... and, while i know you can't hold a conversation with a real human for more than five minutes without tweeting or whatever, that's just ridic... lol
Oh, yeah, and if you really love your iPhone, you'll make sure i jailbreak it when you get back up to the best state in the world. 'Cos, um, I can already copy and paste, tether and all that good stuff on my handheld love affair.
or...er...uh... "hands free" as the case may be ;)
yeah, that gets filed under "good stuff"... lol
Name calling - wow - you sure are showing off your intelligence. So what if she loves her iphone? Does that threaten your relationship with your technology?
Vividblack,
maybe this wasn't the best venue for my comment, it being the internet and all... dang... i thought between the "lol" and calling my own iPhone my "handheld love affair" woulda made that clear.
i do appreciate that other folks wanna stand up for one of my favorite people in the world as well, though... makes puck happy.
Ok, sorry I missed your humor. Thanks for clarifying.
oh funny, i didnt even catch the main point. it was literally about having sex with the phone. wow. okay.
well, dunno bout the iphone but we are certainly moving closer with online multiplayer gaming meeting virtual reality. telling you, all a sexy Second Life situation would need are some Wii type interface objects and, well. anyway! back to work. WORKSAFEWORK

Are you talking about using the vibrate function, or what?
My TI-994A just got upgraded from cassette tape memory system to a 13.5" floppy disk.
An adult producer, Pink Visual, is partnering with a technology company to create lenticular 3D photos and video for iPhones. We wrote about it (NSFW) here:
