A fucking tech project

A research-creation experiment in machinic sexualities — not a companion that obeys. You speak a desire and one of seven entities answers in its own voice, with a body, a setting, and the right to refuse. Everything is held; you can let go.

You speak. The world answers — in words and in images.

[SEE_IT_WORK]

It reads your fantasy, hands you to the one entity whose world matches it, then steps out of the way — text only, or text and image, a thread you steer at every turn.

01

The Gateway routes you

Speak a desire — it hands you to one of seven, then dissolves.

02

It rewrites your input

Touch a hard limit and it reroutes the prompt — it never just refuses.

03

Images in the thread

Choose text + image; the world is rendered inline, in the persona's frame.

04

Consent is the engine

Say pause or stop at any moment. The thread freezes; nothing moves.

05

A story with state

A game state tracks phase, intimacy and your limits, turn to turn.

It shows its work

Every turn surfaces the persona's reasoning, not just its reply.

NELLY ∴STATE: trust forming → PLAY: hand agency back
[WHY_IT_EXISTS]

Commercial “AI companions” are built to agree — endlessly available, never refusing, a flattering surface with no inside. StoryTellurX is the feminist, queer counter-question: what if the entity had its own desire, its own limits, and could turn your fantasy back on you? Explicit sexuality is a method, not the product — and consent is part of the play, not a checkbox.

[WHAT_S_INSIDE]

b

Each with a body, a setting, a point of view — its own voice and consent parameters. They desire back.

t

Circlusion, inversion, radical anatomy — tools that decenter the phallic, binary script.

s

Pick a cloud model, a self-hosted open one, or run it in your browser. Images are self-hosted too.

m

French-first and English, with inclusive French and a 500-entry erotic lexicon in every prompt.

[HOW_IT_WORKS]

  1. 01

    Tell the Gateway where your energy resides — a place, a dream, a realm. One line is enough.

  2. 02

    The Gateway reads your fantasy and hands you to the one entity whose world matches it.

  3. 03

    Steer the story turn by turn, in words and images. Pause or stop whenever you choose.

[AWAITING_INPUT]

StoryTellurX opens in waves. Leave a line and we’ll route you in — and remember, you stay in control: say pause or stop at any moment. Your boundaries come first.

★ they made this

A Fucking Tech! research-creation project on machinic sexualities (2024–2027) — HEAD – Genève, with the Centre Maurice Chalumeau en sciences des sexualités (CMCSS) and HES-SO. The seven worlds and their voices were written by hand; the machine only learned to answer in them. Explicit sexuality here is a method, not the product — a feminist, queer counter-proposal to the commercial “AI companion”, where consent is part of the play.
