I'm curious about what happened to homosexuals and bisexuals with same-sex preferences in the story. I imagine they were put together somewhere...
I'm on the camp that isn't very happy with replacing romantic partners with superstimulus pleasure bringers, in part because I get so attached to people I care about (and objects, too. Especially cute ones.)
Also I imagine it may be because my standards and tastes for partners are really narrow yet my current partner fits them so well...you might as well make a slightly tweaked clone of my partner to make an ideal interest for me specifically.
As a side note: Not only would I feel bad if I was cheated on but I would feel horrible and unworthy of love if I cheated myself (and why would you expect a good and loving partner if you are not going to behave like that yourself?) so that would be another way in which this failed utopia scares me.
