Žižek argues that romance is declining as sex toys promise excessive pleasure but only reproduce lack. He points to the Stamina Training Unit, a masturbatory device resembling a battery-powered light, as an example. It vibrates until satisfaction and comes in different colors, tightness levels, and forms imitating erogenous zones. Žižek suggests the ultimate solution is to use a vibrator and Stamina Training Unit together, leaving the "fun" to the devices while humans sit nearby drinking tea, having fulfilled their duty to enjoy without effort.

Slavoj iek - In the future well outsource sex. in: The Guardian.
February 14, 2013. (English).
Romance is maybe not yet totally dead, but its forthcoming death is signalled by object-gadgets which promise to deliver excessive pleasure but which effectively reproduce only the lack itself. The latest fashion is the Stamina Training Unit, a counterpart to the vibrator: a masturbatory device that resembles a battery-powered light (so we're not embarrassed when carrying it around). You put the erect penis into the opening at the top, push the button, and the object vibrates till satisfaction The product is available in different colours, levels of tightness and forms (hairy or without hair, etc) that imitate all three main openings for sexual penetration (mouth, vagina, anus). What one buys here is the partial object (erogenous zone) alone, deprived of the embarrassing additional burden of the entire person. How are we to cope with this brave new world which undermines the basic premises of our intimate life? The ultimate solution would be, of course, to push a vibrator into the Stamina Training Unit, turn them both on and leave all the fun to this ideal couple, with us, the two real human partners, sitting at a nearby table, drinking tea and calmly enjoying the fact that, without great effort, we have fulfilled our duty to enjoy.
