Applications include obvious things such as synchronizing a vibrator to the action in an adult video to enhance immersion, kinky play like letting a partner or audience member control a tactically placed vibe, or even humorously creative stuff like using an artificial vagina as a video game controller. There is some quite interesting and fun work being done in the area, such as the Buttplug protocol.

I wrote down some theorems and looked at them through a microscope and actually discovered the objectively correct solution to ethics. I won't tell you what it is because science should be kept secret (and I could prove it but shouldn't and won't).
