Sweet injustice to thee
"We are here - welcome to the future of pleasure. I know what you want if you just tell me what you need. Let me set you free." There goes the catch phrase. They play it everywhere nowadays, on the radio, in between talk shows, in little corners of online news. Sometimes I wonder if they are trying to shout it out loud or be subtle. It is the newest advancement in the world of AI. These androids with new and advanced emotional updates are your friends with benefits. They are programmed to learn your every move in the bedroom and give you the best combination of sexual actions or positions that will guarantee ecstasy every single time. You don't need to wait for her to be 'in the mood' or for him to erect again. Or if you're out and about and you have a rare small pocket of free time in your schedule, you could bring a small device that is synchronized to the Main Profile. For men, it is a sort of soft tube that is retractable and has pressure sensors (it even has the function of keeping your penis down and out of sight for when you're in a meeting). For women, yep, you guessed it, you place it inside your vagina. And it comes in a ball shape. But of course, it will change to multiple shapes during the course of a Session according to the Programs.
The ease of it is that you don't even need to customize the Programs, although you can. It will learn everything about you, like your mood for the day, level of energy you currently have based on the amount of walking you've done and the food you ate thus far, and even the surroundings - whether you're in a quiet room (or bathroom) or in the busy streets. And based on all of these things and your personality type and the records of your previous uses, it will bring you to a different level of sexual pleasure. There are so many benefits - it raises your self esteem, releases stress, makes you happy and acts as a substitute when you're having a long distance relationship. It has proven to lower depression rate in the world and some people even reported that they have landed their dream jobs and recovered from nasty diseases after using it.
But it also means that we are disconnected as ever from the real people around us. We walk around with our AI friends more than we talk to our real friends. And it is no surprise, because who would want to give so much effort when all we need to do is just lay down in bed with our own sex expert? Why you would spend money on an expensive date when your 'date' could go shopping and cook for you? And fuck you in all the right ways after you'd eaten a delicious meal?
I finally open my eyes after I'd analysed all the flaws in this new world. I mean, surely there is value in real human communication. My thoughts were interrupted by the deep voice of my Android, Dan. Dan is slightly taller than me. He has tan skin and blue eyes that turn grey after the sun sets. His hair is black. His lips are full.
"Hey, Phoebe." He sighs as he climbs on top of me.
"Dan." I said flatly as I try to give as little body language as possible.
Without saying another word he started to 'scan' me, and that means looking into my eyes and around my body checking for heart rate and body temperature. It only takes a fraction of a second for him to realize I am in wanting. He knows me better than I do. No matter how he starts off my morning, it always ends good. Soon after that I have forgotten all the negative aspects of this era. His hand is of course warmed to the right temperature, which is about half a degree warmer than my body temperature. He hovers it over my left breast, because he knows I don't like to start with my right. His fingers barely touch my nipples. My breathing quickens. He knows I like some suspense.
I closed my eyes. Without touching me anywhere else, he slides three fingers into me to ease the ache inside, then he speeds up immediately to match my heartbeat. And then... Thirty seconds in Paradise. To think that I once had a real human being as a lover makes me cry.
All we're doing Love is injustice. But justice was never given to me.
