And some people will try to insist you can only buy a snap-in genital that matches your gender assigned at birth. But I'm sure a lot of women will want a snap-in-cock just for the speed and convenience of peeing while standing. Many men will have secret snap-in vaginas.

Of course, you'll need a phone app to make them functional and there will be monthly subscription fees. And some will be designed to only work with genitals from the same provider. And there will be sudden spontaneous fires from cheap imported knockoff genitals. (cont)

Tech stores will have a back room for adults only, like Blockbuster Video had back in the day. There will be backlit walls lined with genitals. There will be all sorts of extra features like internal lighting. Men will want their snap-in cocks to make lightsaber noises. (cont)

I think the next big technological innovation will be snap-in genitals. You'll be able to get a socket installed and click in the genitals of your choice. They'll be synthetic at first, but you'll be able to get lab-grown flesh genitals, eventually. . . . Lab-grown from celebrity DNA. (cont)
