    • ]]>     In the past, the sex business has been on the cutting edge of technology, whether it’s supporting home video and DVDs in their infancy, or giving us AI-driven love dolls. However, folks who get their rocks off by downloading Ass Disasters 5 on BitTorrent will be sad to learn that the internet is killing the porn business as we know it.The Daily Beast recently posted a list of reasons why the porn-for-profit model, which was once thought to be a never-ending fountain of cash, is actually drying up. Among their reasons: internet piracy of profitable DVDs, Video On Demand not catching on, serious online competition from amateurs & hookers, and the time-sucking giant that is World of Warcraft.

    Ironically, porn’s penchant for being on the cutting edge might make it the first media industry to completely collapse in the digital era. Or will printed newspapers beat them to the media graveyard?

    When a loved one dies, most people honor their memory by attending a funeral, donating to a charity or offering condolences with a card. Inventor Douglas Hines decided to honor a friend who died during the terrorist attacks of September 11th by creating an animatronic, Wi-Fi sex doll. Well, I suppose we all grieve differently!

    Making its debut at this year’s Adult Entertainment Expo was Roxxxy the sex robot, which looks like a blow-up doll hooked up to a laptop. The developers have programmed Roxxxy with multiple personalities, including Wild Windy, Frigid Farrah and S&M Susan. She’s also touch sensitive, as Douglas demonstrates with the video above. I can’t decide what’s weirder: the origin story of this sex doll or the awkwardly long pause it takes for Roxxxy to recognize you’re futzing with her privates.
