| QUOTATION: | A partner evoked by sophisticated electric brain stimulation could be as real and much more satisfying than the boy or girl next door.... All the stars in Hollywood living or dead are there for your pleasure. Sated with superstars, you can lay Cleopatra, Helen of Troy, Isis, Madame Pompadour, or Aphrodite. You can get fucked by Pan, Jesus Christ, Apollo or the Devil himself. |
