I’m into furry things and vore things and tentacle things and so on. But I feel like I’m almost cheating because these all flow from having my preference for morphological freedom set really high. It seems rather *unremarkable* given that.

I guess there *must* be some transhumanist people who aren’t into generalized furry and bdsm things. Robin Hanson didn’t know what futa were until a few months ago.

It just seems that given you indicate a preference for full morphological freedom for yourself and given that you don’t want to *stop* having sex… it seems like either you would be into this range of things or you would anticipate your future self being into it.

Hm. I also have a really strong preference for morphological freedom, yet vore doesn’t do anything for me? Nor does it seem obvious that my Shiny Morphological Freedom Future self would be into it. She might indulge a partner, but.

I don’t think these things are unlinked, but the link is not as strong as you imply, imo.

Ah, there was a misparsing. It isn’t specifically vore that I would expect but the cluster of sex things which aren’t currently physically feasible for most people. Like being a futa whose hand gets cut off or being eaten alive or being able to restrain your catgirl clone.

If someone imagines being in the Shiny Morphological Freedom Future and changing forms a lot and still planned on having sex, it would surprise me if they weren’t into [current projection of sex that is infeasible now but would be feasible with uploads] and did anticipate their future selves liking it.

I think I can imagine what they may be imagining, but the exercise is a little weird. I can imagine people imagining spending long milliseconds as 11-dimensional squid and spongy manifolds. Softly brushing against an object of their desire a sense of ~pleasure rising. Their body feeling ~warm and ~glowing. Them morphing the system of them and the Object into human forms and having kinky earthling sex.

I mean, I guess??

I think that if the people who plan to [change their form a lot come {simspace, nanomachine swarms, full-body transplants}] and [have sex in the Future] thought about Future sex for five minutes I think they would find some of the scenarios which aren’t currently physically possible quite appealing. I would be surprised to find all of their desires funneled into a narrow region of what sex is reachable by humans of the early 21st century.

I think it depends on how sexually adventurous you are to begin with. Given that as it stands, my desires are funneled into a narrow region even compared to the narrow region of what’s currently possible, I suspect the sex life of Morphological-Freedom-Utopia!me would look like a somewhat-enhanced-but-the-same-basic-idea version of mine.

(Some forms of future-sex might very well be interesting experiences to me, but not necessarily sexual ones.)

Just when you thought school was over for the day… 

Class, coming to @bbcamerica in 2017.

Wait. Wait.

Is that why I’ve seen barely anybody talking about this show? Because the Americans haven’t seen it yet?

Well. That explains a lot.

Transcript, for anyone interested:

*Alton Brown opens door of the microwave the camera is sitting inside*

Hi, Internet. Alton Brown here. I just wanted to let everybody know that I’m gonna be taking a little break from the show Cutthroat Kitchen in order to concentrate my efforts on a new Internet venture I have. I call it “a cooking show”, and I think you’re gonna like it.

Why am I telling you from inside an appliance? *grins, takes on an up-to-something tone* No reason.

*closes microwave door*

Send a post to a someone that’ll love it.

Messaging news! Three things are happening! All of them are good:

  • There’s a new button on every post. It’s a paper airplane.
  • That paper airplane lets you send any post as a message.
  • And messaging is out to everyone. We flipped the switch.

So now 100% of you can talk to a Tumblr using posts instead of words. Or in addition to. Whichever. Have fun!

The paper plane is on iOS and the web right now, and it’ll be flung out to Android users over the next 24 hours.

Now you can share all the Bee Movie posts you want. Or, you know, other things.
