Are we sick of other humans?

…everywhere we look — from public proclamations to the most private aspects of our lives — one phenomena seems to have manifested itself clearer than ever: we want to wash our hands of each other…

John Paul Sartre once said “Hell is other people”.

Nowadays, his expression is being sold in the form of many enticing novelties. From biomimetic sextech devices, to futuristically promising humanoid intelligent AI sex robot “companions”, and even masturbatory condoms equip with cleansing wipes to solve the (apparently?) inconvenient sexual mess of ejaculation.

In response to COVID-19, more official sources, like the CDC, have similarly become emboldened enough to suggest “gloryholes” as a solution to the terminally inhumane conditions we’ve all been thrust into. It’s the sexual equivalent of pulling up to a drive through and ordering “one blow job”, with as little personal association as humanly possible.
