One wonders if the doll is male, female or comes with optional
attachments to be either.
If this takes off the ietf will have to work on an ISP - internet
sex protocol - to control communication with these devices. Using
this protocol between two dolls would no doubt satisfy the needs of
voyeurs. Care would have to be taken with common internet technology
to avoid confusion such as "socket connections", "The host is up",
"unexpected disconnection", etc
