Constant delays are frustrating to all of us who have been looking forward to the release of the RealTouch.  After all, we have been kept waiting for over half a year now already.  Yet I don’t think we should be too surprised or disheartened.  We’re not talking about the release of a new porn film or even a new type of porn film.  We’re talking about the introduction into society of genuine virtual sex.  This is quite simply massive. 

Richard Branson has been promising us trips into space for a while now.  It was originally planned to take place last year but constant delays have made it unlikely that the first private trip into space will happen before 2011.  I don’t see anyone giving up on the idea of commercial space travel yet or throwing rotting eggs at Sir Richard.  People understand that it is a huge undertaking and things have to be just right.  I would be as bold to compare RealTouch to Virgin Galactic and I would put the world’s first commercially successful virtual sex product on a par with the first commerical space flight.  In both cases a new frontier from the realms of science fiction is being opened up and made real.  You have to expect a few hiccups and dissapointments on the way.
