Sounds like you expect them to be rentals at first. Probably so, because they won't be affordable. But the price will eventually drop, and every bachelor will then have one.
If you had a sex holodeck, what would your lifestyle be like?

- Start date
I wonder if the Terbites of the future (if this site still exists) will still complain that their virtual SP was too mechanical, robotic, didn't look like the pics, etc?
I'm pretty sure the hologram programmers will be greedy and charge you extra if you want whatever adjustments on your women (e.g. bigger butts, breasts, different skin color, give deep throat, etc...). Then there will quickly be some novice programmers who will write their own add-ons that will allow you to modify the women yourself without going back to the retailers.

They would probably do something like a season pass in video games where you buy a package of add-ons. The catch is you don't know what you're getting until you fork over the money. Or they would have a subscription model.
A hologram woman that expires??? Or one that won't do anal unless buy more credit? Damn, this is not sounding so good anymore. I only thought of the technological potential, which can certainly give us everything we want after a one-time purchase. I didn't consider the human factor of the retailers taking advantage of our immense hunger and milking us of all our money on a regular basis so that we can continue to fulfill our growing addiction to it.
If capitalism still exists in the far future, then this scenario is a possibility. Then again, the Star Trek future is supposed to be utopia where money doesn't exist and you can replicate anything out of thin air. Yet aliens still use money for some reason?
tests hsve shown animals starve to death Using a pure pleasure version of the technology. They don't eat real food anymore
Yup. Speaks to just how powerful it is. It basically hijacks our survival instincts by giving us those dopamine effect hits without any of the instinctual causes.
It'll be extremely dangerous technology, but there's also all kinds of benefits as well, like a paraplegic learning to walk again, negating the effects of Alzheimer's, healing depression and anxiety, applications in education (think the training sims in the Matrix). It's really a bold new world, rife with dangers and virtues.
Absolutely, it's a double-edged neural sword! The prospect of rewriting our neurological narratives opens doors to incredible advancements, from conquering health challenges to reshaping how we perceive reality. Navigating this brave new world will require a delicate dance between caution and innovation.
