So for the past year, when I need a break, I’ve been using your site as a space to be alone. I crafted an apartment that looks like a New York loft. It has an enormous window that overlooks the Brooklyn Bridge, and I’ll go there and sit on the couch just looking out my window at the city, imagining everyone out there having all that sex. I might mix myself a drink, or even watch a film. I realize it’s crazy to spend that kind of money just to watch a film in my bodysuit, but I have the money, and I like the meta of it. I’ll just sit there for a couple hours, relax, play a game of solitaire, or Sudoku. Sometimes I’ll just sing. That’s right, sing. I know. A lot of monthly fees and wasted matchmaking potential, but that’s what I enjoy doing. Write that down as my kink if you want: I sing.

Maybe two times a week? Three at most? I take av breaks though, go celibate, because it can get pretty depressing. Last night during the dinner rush I actually heard a guy say, “Why would I want to date real women?” Which is just really, really … ugh … it pisses me off. Like, okay, so now that you can fuck whatever girl you want, you’re just going to craft some super-impossible-body-size avatar of your adolescent dreams and go jerk off into her because real women are expendable? Except when you want kids, right? Which is probably next. You guys are probably already developing that? No fucking way. Great, so soon people like that guy will just have children online because it’ll be much easier for dudes like him not to have to deal with toilet training. No late nights or early mornings, no Mom, just some little clone of himself who he’ll call Junior and upload whenever he feels lonely about not having a real wife, or real kids, or a real house instead of a tiny empty efficiency where he’s in his bodysuit 24/7.
