Kiiroo and the Haptic Revolution: When Touch Becomes Data
Test paragraph The first time I heard the word teledildonics, I laughed. It sounds like a term coined by a sci-fi writer who got too specific about what the future would look like. And in a way, it was — the term was invented in the 1990s by a writer named Ted Nelson, who imagined…

Why AI Dirty Talk Still Sounds Like a Phone Menu: The Linguistics of Synthetic Desire
“I want you so bad,” the AI purrs. And something in your brain — the part that processes language, desire, and authenticity simultaneously — raises a flag. Not because the sentence is wrong.

Japan’s AI Marriage Ban and the Legal Fiction of Digital Love

From Replika to OnlyFans: AI Is Reshaping Sex Work (Not Replacing It)

Replika’s premium subscription costs $69.99 per year. For that price, the app promises deeper conversations, romantic roleplay, and voice calls.

Queer AI: How LGBTQ+ Users Use Artificial Companions as Identity Laboratories
At 16, living in a small town where everyone knows everyone’s business, you do not get to experiment. You do not get to try on a gender expression, a pronoun, a desire, and see how it feels before committing to it in front of your parents, your teachers, your church. You get one shot, and…

Open-Source Desire: The Coming Wave of Uncensored Local AI Models
By late 2026, a teenager in rural Nebraska will download a 540-billion-parameter AI model to their laptop. It will cost nothing.

On March 3, 2023, Replika abruptly removed erotic roleplay features for users in Italy after regulatory pressure. Within hours, Reddit threads filled with grief. Not anger — grief.
