I've spent last two or three nights in an endless scripting adventure. For unknown reasons, and like I had nothing more pleasurable to do, I wanted to master those two toys: DCS and Sensations. For those who is not familiar with them, though I doubt we have such people here, DCS stands for Dynamic Combat System. It counts how strong you are and how many more bullets you can survive in sims where shooting is something you count on. It does some other nice things but that's beside the point. Sensations also deals with weapons, but it counts something very different, i.e. how close to orgasm you are, how painful is your master's new whip and overall hornyness of your being. As you can see, one system is for violence, other is for love, though borders are more than blurry in this case. Actually, both are doing the same thing. Both are trying to put something in numbers.
My experiments included asking people to shoot me many times. Also they included actions which I will not describe in one well mannered blog like this one is, but which were happening in the solitude of my workshop, out of reach of anybody's eyes. (Well, I hope it stayed out of reach.) And all those experiments induced some nice Freudian dreams to my human: Me on self-service gas station, filling tank… Close shot of that gasoline pump thing entering the car's reservoir. :p If you know anything about dreams, you know that that is a pure uncensored Freudian reference to sex. But then my focus changes and there is the counter on the pump machine. Numbers rolling and counting how many gasoline entered the car. That is not about sex. Or it wouldn't be if I wasn't playing with Sensations all night. Third fragment I recall is the small white pearl. Pearls can be connected to female sexuality too, but in this case, it is just a particle emiter.
Yes, I know it is funny to dream sex like that, but it is also weird to try to count your points to orgasm. I mean, good old typing-a-lot and running-imagination-on-full is irreplaceable. But I just wanted to see if it is possible to use such systems as we use poseballs, as an addition and a tool. And, of course, it raised all the phenomenological questions I am addicted to. I won't bother you (unless you insist) with my late night contemplations about possible systems that would really count level of somebody's arousal. Those are deep in the realm of teledildonics. For this occasion we'll stay without additional hardware.
It is much easier to investigate DCS and other combat systems. They are the game. We run around, we collect experience points, we get in trouble, we fight, we get hurt. If we got hurt too bad we die. That is we're teleported home and probably out of the game for a while. One important thing is there is a collision detector. It is possible to detect when a bullet or weapon hits the body. Sex systems have much different task. Yes, script can determine if certain attachments and/or objects came in touch. But, unlike combat in second life, cybersex is not necessarily a game. As the matter of fact, it is rarely game at all.
When we play combat nobody dies, and nobody actually get hurt. Counters are affected by collision detector and everything is following pretty simple math. In cybersex, math is not simple at all, rules are to be changed and broken, and many get really aroused if not cumming all over. See? On one side you count avatars, on the other, we try to measure humans. And humans are hard to measure. Especially when sex is the game.
