An Idea!
A fancy dildo: Simply put, it weakly induces the thermal grill illusion for a unique kind of stimulation.
It would have an infrared-permeable exterior (e.g. the black plastic seen on older TV remotes) which is shaped however you want, would be filled with actively-cooled water, and have a small infrared heat lamp immersed in the water. This could be done by having a single, flexible line run from the dildo to a floor (or desk-top) module transporting water/coolant, electricity, and maybe data (see below). Both how much the water is cooled, and how much voltage is going to the LEDs could be adjusted with a pair of knobs installed on the pump/cooler.
Improvements:
- Since the water isn't consumed in any fashion, it could be replaced with a more thermally-conductive liquid, as long as it is infrared-permeable.
- The internal heat lamp could be replaced by a matrix of infrared LEDs hooked up to a multiplexer and microcontroller on the dildo, and thus only cause the thermal grill effect on individual parts of the skin in alternating patterns.
- Instead of driving the stimulation patterns directly, the microcontroller could have serial data ran over the dildo's main line to the floor/desktop module. This can then have a USB connection, so that the dildo can be interfaced with computer programs in any manner.
- The dildo could also have all the already-existing stimulation modules (vibration, mechanical joints, fleshy exterior, etc.) as long as these parts are infrared-permeable.
- Assuming the dildo has a flexible exterior and a data line, small piezoelectric sensors and wiring could be integrated into the exterior of the dildo to detect variations in pressure across it's surface. This data can be exported to the internet for interfacing with others' sex toys, likely for more tactile netsex.
- ALL of the above features can also be fashioned to work on a fleshlight, to allow flaming, hot netsex!
