teledildonics
/tel`@.dil.do'.niks/, n.
Sex in a computer simulated virtual reality, esp. computer-mediated
sexual interaction between the {VR} presences of two humans. This
practice is not yet possible except in the rather limited form of
erotic conversation on {MUD}s and the like. The term, however, is
widely recognized in the VR community as a {ha ha only serious}
projection of things to come. "When we can sustain a multi-sensory
surround good enough for teledildonics, then we'll know we're getting
somewhere." See also {hot chat}.
