Living where I did during college, I eventually met people into all sorts
of stuff. From what I gather, the main attraction for corsets, as far as
the _wearers_ are concerned, is not the visual aspect of it. That's a part,
sure, but I was led to beleive that the snugness, and even the
breathlessness, of a tight corset were the main turn on.

I would. Naturally, they wouldn't wear latex to work, at least visibly, but
after... well, people can surprise you.
>Hrmm...I wonder if I should risk asking about sex in 205X...
To me, sex in society tends to have fads, sort of like fashion does, but
not as major or outward. For example, in the part of the 80's, hot tubs
were big. Early 90's, I dunno, the invention of the sibian, maybe.
Currently, at least around here, altoid mints seem to be the fad of the
week. In 205X, or perhaps a bit before, I'd guess that sexual fads would
lean towards three areas:
1) Metahuman sex. No clue what form this would take, but as an example, the
picture of the troll hooker in the Tir na nOg book (pg 56) seems very
beleivable to me.
2) Magically enhanced sex. I got your elemental service right here.
3) Virtual sex. By 205X, this would be a _huge_ buisiness. Every megacorp
would own at least one virtual sex company, though maybe not publicly. If
the evolution of STDs keeps getting worse, chances are virtual sex would be
the primary form of sex among singles. This would be an interesting culture
to give to a PC or NPC.
