the reason that i called those answers perfect is because they tied into the real psychological nature of tickling and the subconcscious decisions that we make that derive our perception of a thing.
the monster generally represents something flesh and blood with eyes and warmth that can be interacted with even though it is evil and devoid of mercy.
the machine generally represents something that is cold and calculating devoid of any warmth or concern and the lack of mercy is derived from a lack of feeling or alienation from the person.
how a lee answers this question for the most part can tell you a lot about their interaction or perception of interaction with their ler.
females (in my humble psychological oppinion) would probably prefer the monster 80-20. the most interesting response was the one where the person had the exact opposite precepts of the machine and the monster than i illustrated, but similar constructs.
and the funny thing is that those who picked the machine always either wanted to ascribe it human charecteristics or include the fantasy of interacting with an actual human being that was controlling the machine by extension.
it is a happy feeling to know that even in the new free lovesociety that the compartmentalization of sexuality is not irreversable. thank the good lord.
and yes, i am signing up for nerds anonymous.
