We've been scientifically studying the effects of porn and technological innovation for years now and have finally figured out that when you mouse-click with your left hand, it's called "The Stranger". But now some upstart horny geeks—along with a few futurists unafraid to tread the sticky floors of the internets—are having a conference to explore even more weighty matters on the subject of porn and technology: tickets are now on sale for Arse Elektronika 2007, which will take place at San Francisco's legendary Porn Palace on October 5-7.

The lineup of speakers and panels looks pretty exciting, and there's also a performance lineup starring Kink.com's Fucking Machines, an interactive female orgasm exhibit (their equivalent of booth babes, we guess), and something called "The Electric Orifice Orchestra" where "extravagantly dressed performers use live biofeedback from muscular interior walls of their bodies to create a multi-media interactive show". Our arses are already tingling with geeky porn-tech glee. (Or from our latest Marital Aid Test Kitchen mishap. It's hard to tell.)
