Sex industry "upgrades" would be a close second right after "fully replaced limbs".
Horse penis
The knot is better.
Vagina tentacles.
Why not both.
Well. This thread went exactly where I expected it to.
Proud antlers, to woo potential mates.
Fuck off ND.
>Horsecock
>Knot
>Not having a prehensile duck pseudo penis that unwinds to twice your overall body length
What did you expect from posting it on Veeky Forums? For it to not discuss genitalia?
Is there any reasonable benefit to having tails?
Because that's just simply too much.
Either you go for the length and girth of the horse dick, or you aim for a fat tapered one that gets even fatter when you plug the woman up with your bulbous knot. Both of them have completely different functions that interfere with the other when used in tandem.
Horse dicks are all about getting the man off as fast as possible, knots are for her pleasure.
A splanch.
>>Not having a prehensile duck pseudo penis that unwinds to twice your overall body length
also prone to detach, waiting for a new one to grow.
Also articulate dolphin pussy.
Personally, I think the barbed penis doesn't get enough love among the exotic dick accessories one could be offered in the musky darkness of the 22nd century. Those things aren't exactly sharp, you know! You cum in the vag (or butt, I won't judge) and the things just sort of pop out, it's like a knotting dick with a focus on blunt tingly points throughout the orifice rather than a thick wad of meat at the entrance.
Of course, one dick is good but two dicks is better, so I can see the hemipenis getting some loving. Ever want to double-stuff your lover without Chad or Tyrone? Now's your chance.
But user, then you couldn't have "real, actual sex."
Don't think so, there's got to be some evolutionary reason all primates lack them.
Hold up, hold up.
Let's think about this for a moment, shall we?
What is the best dick for a human man, and the best vagina for a human woman, provided they're able to swap them out for all sorts of animal equivalents? The horse dick is popular for sheer size and virility, but surely it can't be the best choice? What about vaginas? Would the dolphin pussy *really* be that much better for *her?*
shit that gives sonar capacity, more efficient liver. Sky's the limit.
As for organs, I envisioned more discussion of internal organs rather than sexual organs, but I am fine with either discussion! As for sexual reproduction, I could imagine there could be possible new reproductive organs being created, far from the norm.
We walk upright in terrestrial environments (the ground) and not on all fours in an arboreal one (the trees).
They weren't needed for balance so they were lost.
Because on the original point: Organs
I'd like something to regulate fat deposits/cholesterol please. And maybe something to enhance muscle retention.
Perhaps the same could be said of all bio-engineered enhancements?
i want pheromone glands to get the ladies.
>I'd like something to regulate fat deposits/cholesterol please. And maybe something to enhance muscle retention.
You mean your brain?
Also the liver, and the gallbladder.
We've already got those.
And in case anyone needs to know about what organs can be replaced, the spleen and appendix are useful but do little for the body compared to the potential of an artificial organ.
Naw, they do a rubbish job of that. Family tendency towards diabetes and weight gain.
Oh and heart problems.
Can I get a side order of gills with that too?
Sounds like you just need a custom-ordered thyroid and pancreas, one will regulate fat deposits while the other will give you all the sweet, sweet insulin you need.
Gills
Wings
Complete food absorption, make toilets redundant
Piss weaponized acid instead, anus now produces a fascinating variety of pastes from explosive to airtight seal
Organ supervisor module that contains blueprints of, and regrows, other organs
Backup brain
Retractable "visor" eye/face covering for harsh environments
Please and thank you.
> Retractable "visor" eye/face
I never asked for this.
Does that come with battery powered knockouts?
Anus tail!
Basically a long extra long anus/rectum that protrudes about a feet from your butt, with muscles so you can swish it and aim it at the toilet while standing up.
Good manners means you have to cover it with a stocking or keep it tucked into your pants while in public.
boipussy
Quads have them for 'fine-tuning' their center of balance.
Roos are bipedal and have large tails, though they're unique as far as they go.
Honestly, it's kinda dependent on the flexibility, position, and general mass on the tail in relation to the owner.
Do you guys actually think you're funny?
Giving new meaning to the term explosive diarrhea.
I demand source for this.
A way to deactivate senses on purpose and a way to temporarily enhance the senses.
You want to hear what happens on the other street? You can.
Someone is being cheeky, blowing a dog whistle? Nope, back to human levels
A "data port" that allows you to connect yourself to a computer. Self explanatory, heck, the organ might not even be where you connect, but it can host the plug without giving you septicemia
Some way to override involuntary reflexes and reactions. As in, some way to tell your body "Nah, this cold is not worth having our whole supply of water going through our nose as mucus. Trust me on this." or "S'okay internal ear, we are in space, let me handle this"
A small patch of electricity-generating cells, to keep small devices powered. You could even plant 2 near the tear ducts to power some fancy HUD contact lenses.
Skin cells that can change (albeit in a very limited way) color would be all the rage with teens in a cyberpunk setting. I am thinking of cuttlefish-like color and pattern change, depending on where you graft the skin. Bioluminicense would also catch on pretty quickly.
Eye color change goes without saying.
Voice modulation muscles that controls your larynx to generate the tone and timber you want. With practice, that's it.
A vagina-like aperture where any liquid you put in will be absorbed as quickly as if you had injected it in the bloodstream would be readily used in medicine but also abused for drugs, i guess.
A stem cell repository within your own body, probably implanted at birth and made from your umbilical cord.
Self-cleaning and self-lubricating assholes.
Because.
I've always been fond of the idea of secondary processors. Not additional brains, exactly, more like biocomputers. Protein or DNA-based computing devices embedded in their own organs, able to be accessed to increase computational power for specific tasks where mathematical modeling would help.
Yaoi hole.
Guess.
Check out GURPS Biopunk. I don't even play the system but it has a lot of ideas for enhanced organs and such. Also how biotech changes culture and criminal activities. Club Kitsune has hostesses with fluffy tails, while some mobster is out there replacing snitches larynxes with those of songbirds.
Also, the update Biotech
I believe biopunk was a 3e book?
Correct. I just had it for ideas more than system myself.
Same organs we already have in order to replace faulty ones.
>What is the best dick for a human man
Human dick.
>the best vagina for a human woman
Human vagina.
>horse dick
Anatomically impossible to fit into human woman as anything but torture.
There are plenty of primates with tails.
What if we added in octopus DNA to give men several tentacle penises growing out of their crotch, over which they had full control?
THATS A BLOODY FUCKING TAMPON!!!!!!
Isn't the spleen part of the lymphatic system?
>Anatomically impossible to fit into human woman as anything but torture.
If you are to the point where rewriting the human genome for shits is not just possible, but easy, this is only as much of a problem as you let it be.
Probably something that can force extraneous fat out of the system as an anti-obesity organ. Presumably with a conscious control mechanism to prevent mountain climbers or other cold climate folks dying in the winter,
Well, just like Darwin's tubercle (the thick top-rear part of your ear), humans do have a vestigial coccyx, which, during stage 14-22 (between bilaminar embryonic disk formation and the through early neurulation) shows up as a fairly prominent tail, which later drops off. Rarely, you do have babies that are born with the tail.
>nature.com
Now, tails often have many uses, even if they're not prehensile. Notably they're useful for balance and assisting mobility, but the dual factors of a more upright walking posture as well as changing environment where the homo genus evolved in from (probably) wetter forests to a more-Savannah-like plains which requires less need for said balance were probably fairly strong selectors.
After better versions of our existing organs, Wi-Fi.Or a supplemental brain to handle cybernetic implants in a body. You won't have only bioengineering or only cybernetics, both will be used.
Depending on how far you want to go, you can have nanomachines that repair damages or outright rebuilt unused material into something more appropiate for the situation. Or people send their minds through the net into other bodies which reform to their appearance.
But back to organs:
>Some filter chamber that removes toxic gasses before the lungs
>A "battery" that stores excessive energy for release when body temperature drops
>Ports for stomach and bloodstream so that you can flush out your food and stuff
>Electrical plug to charge any cybernetic implants. Maybe a complete revamp of the human energy system if you want to go wild
Then it would be my magical realm
Realistically probably a backup pancreas.
Precisely, dear user.
What about an internal oxygen tank that siphons off a little oxygen at a time from your blood during periods of rest and then releases it in times of need (holding breath, sprinting, asthma attack).
Livers that can synthetize vitamins C and D.
Cuttlefish skin.
Tapetum lucidum (that layer of shiny stuff behind the eyes of cats that gives them better night vision)
Secondary slightly translucent eyelids like those of a crocodile. We still have the withered remains of one in the corner of our eyes so its not that big of a leap.
Ability to close nostrils and ears.
Neural shunts to cut of physical sensation in case of accidents.
Octopus style micro-brains to regulate body automatic processes to free up the main brain for less dull stuff.
A selection of smaller hearts situated along the main arteries rather than just one big heart.
One big lung that can compartmentalize in the event of damage rather than just two lungs.
Wider visual spectrum. Some animals cans see into the infra red, chickens can see ultraviolet and mantis shrimps can do both and I want to know what they see when they look at a rainbow.
The ability to regrow lost teeth.
Possibly we could form a symbiotic relationship with bioluminescent bacteria and cultivate it in the skin and have glow in the dark freckles. For using enhanced eyeballs to see in otherwise total darkness also for looking fucking awesome.
There is a sea slug that eats plants and then absorbs the chloroplasts into its own skin and it can then photosynthesize. Be great if we could do that.
There is also a type of frog over in the Americas that can survive being frozen and thawed out over winter. I don't know what sort of rebuilding would be needed for that but holy fuck it would be useful in times of famine if huge segments of the population could enter suspended animation until times of plenty. Also maybe applicable for space travel one day.
Roos use them as a third leg to stabilize their walking because of how their locomotion works their legs don't work independently so good.
Humans don't need them because we have massive glutes to maintain balance and because we actually walk erect (unique to bipeds our spines are completely vertical).
We suck for speed but evolved to be the best distance runners on the planet because of how efficiently we use energy to move (up to 30% less for equal distances). Which is how early man will literally walk it's prey to exhaustion/death. A tail will just fuck with that.
See, I'm really liking all the ideas this user is presenting.
Why?
Because they're alterations to the human body that won't tax the cardiovascular system. The problem with adding new organs is you need to get blood and nutrients to them, which means new arteries and veins and more blood and heart-work to keep them fed.
Stuff like a simple flap to close your nostrils or shined eyes doesn't require jack, they're nothing to the body because they're simple additions to an already existing organ.
>We suck for speed but evolved to be the best distance runners on the planet because of how efficiently we use energy to move (up to 30% less for equal distances). Which is how early man will literally walk it's prey to exhaustion/death. A tail will just fuck with that.
Have you ever ran after a rabbit in an open field? You'd be amazed how quickly those things get exhausted.
Ability to sythesise drugs and possibly hormones on demand might be nice.
As well as getting high you could also reduce the effects of any diseases that the advances in medical science haven't been able to deal with.
And dumping a huge load of aspirin and caffeine to sober up asap would be neat
Regeneration might be a bit more out there, but there's animals that can do it so it may be crackable
Improved nerve response and maybe rapid coagulation could be useful for combat
Ahh yes, Alaskan wood frogs.
The problem with blood more prone to gum up quicker is that it might also be more prone to giving you blood clots.
Wasn't there a story floating around last year about a man regrowing a finger? Or was this another hoax?
That's a good point.
Though you could probably swap out the pancreas for an actual useful organ or gland without too much extra strain, and removing the damn thing even with nothing to replace it is a good move
>Livers that can synthetize vitamins C and D.
So we'd become true carnivore?
>symbiotic relationship with bioluminescent bacteria
user, we can already implant bioluminicent bacteria DNA on animals to make them shine. Other than that, a skin graft would do.
>Americas that can survive being frozen and thawed out over winter.
Let's downplay this one, having the abilities of this frog makes it easier for us to survive extremely cold enviroments, we can still die from hypothermia, tho.
On the other hand it makes it easier for cryogenics to work on us correctly
>chloroplasts into its own skin and it can then photosynthesize
Eeeeeh, don't count on that. To keep those cells alive you would probably use more energy than what you'd get from them. Slugs and plants get away with it because they are relatively low-maintenance compared to more complex organisms. We wouldn't get any benefit from it.
>pancreas
>Wanting to remove the enzyme organ
I'd rather remove the spleen.
Shit, not pancreas, meant appendix.
Regenerating telemeres.
>So we'd become true carnivore?
I was thinking that it would make us better at surviving off of shitty but easy to preserve food for longer periods of time without additional health complaints.
Scurvy wouldn't be a thing for us.
Throwaway blood filters, small bladders that are implanted in areas that surgeons can access easily. When the body detects a harmful substance has entered the bloodstream (Say, poison) then it redirects as much of its bloodflow as it can towards the filter. You can now safely get to a hospital if your kid drank a bottle of antifreeze.
Would it be better if the rapid cloting only activates when making contact with a special oil that our skin secretes?
Rabbit is the opposite design: Large anaerobic muscles, low body fat, quick twitch response, broad locomotive movements, fast heart rate.
Quick as fuck, but once the explosive energy wears off, they are basically nearly going into cardiac arrest, their muscles are swimming in lactic acid and they have no more energy reserves to draw on.
The idea is that you dust your pursuer and find a suitable place to hide. Problems occur when they are able to track you /dig you up.
He actually did regrow his finger. Though it was experimental and just the tip.
>track you /dig you up.
3 things humans are actually good at that we take for granted.
1) endurance (ever wonder why your cat sleeps all day/?)
2) eye sight (Human vision is actually amazing for mammals and we have cones to detect lower wavelengths like red)
3) sweat (double edged sword, we need more water but can remain active in temperatures that would literally boil the brains of other animals- ever wonder why your dog looks like he's dying on a summer day?)
Right after? Even VR was pushed along by porn.
The human sex drive is the strongest thing in the universe. The second that it's easy (or possible, really) to create or implant new bio-organic "tech", sexual "upgrades" will be the very first things anyone uses it for
Something that makes me attractive
I don't care how unrealistic it is, I still want wings damn it. Aesthetic as fuck.
Careful or you are going to summon the guy that, while he is correct in affirming that "endurance hunting" is not proven to have been our method of getting meat, will also deny that humans have any kind of advantage over other animals.
>reverse search that pic
>Cartoon network is the only websites provided.
Damn, I guess CN stepped up it's game to pull in that LGBTQVCADEFG crowd.
>men having full control over their crotches
That just ain't natural, where's the whimsey of men's crotches being an entity with whims and impulses all their own?
>Rarely, you do have babies that are born with the tail.
I think my next human character is going to have a tail, just because.
Why you gotta be so snowflake?
I know lots of women that not only take horse dick, but love it.
Source: I'm a frequent flyer with Bad Dragon.
Sounds like you should go to the gym instead of blaming genetics, fatty
I want a horse cock. I don't care how unreasonable it is. I'll make it fit. Ever suffocated a woman to death with your dick? No greater pleasure exists.
the cuckold meme will enter a new era
Liver is already bullshit levels of efficient. You'd have to have some seriously genius idea to make a filtering organ beter than it.
You might be able to look through various animal livers, and try to find a better design, you'd think hyenas would have a real good liver.
>complete food absorbtion
So you want to just keep gaining weight? Three kilos every week?
Alteration of the spine in order to finish the transition to bipedal. Even though we walk on two legs, we still have significant problems due to the evolutionary process.
Oh, changes to the hips and genitals of women to make giving birth easier and less painful.
There's not the slightest thing I could say against wings. I'm an angel fanatic.
>all these people denying the glory of the human dick
Genetically modified docks sand unaesthetic foreskin but without any loss of sensation when.
The Jews certainly have great taste I'm aesthetic dicks.
Eat less food overall, make our metabolic processes faster and more efficient.
Wasn't Catherine the great a horse fucker or is that some bullshit I saw.
That was a joke describing how her insatiable sexual appetite was going to remembered far longer than her work to help the Russian people.
And she was absolutely insatiable; while not much of a looker, Catherine enjoyed taking it in every hole, if rumors are to be believed.
Bones that absorb and integrate metals.
Hair, nails, and skin that absorb and expel (through shedding) heavy and toxic metals and substances.
>genitals are for reproduction
>i cannot into sex
Profoundest condolences, namefag.
Is this the new google "ai?"
Eyes that can handle staring at a monitor all day without deteriorating
Seriously human eyes were never meant to stare at something that close to you for that long so fixing that problem will be a necessity in the future
Also drug synthesis organ
And a Captain America super soldier upgrade e.g. harder,better,faster,stonger
But if we're going a little more fantastical I want to be Hulk HUGE
>array-of-subcellular-sized-mass-specrometers
>Also drug synthesis organ
Fuck off hippy; if anything, we should modify the human body so that Cannabis and LSD, among other drugs, are lethally toxic.
Or, we could make it so that the human body metabolized them without any psychoactive effects.
>WE SHOULD MAKE ALL DRUGS KILL PEOPLE
>or make them inert I guess
yes, that will show those drug people
No, I want to stop having to go to the toilet. Whether this is done by eating less, having a pocket dimension of spare biomass, or something else, I don't really care.
And bam, just like that 100% of effective medications cease to work.
Enjoy being crippled by illness for the latter part of your life.
Idiot.
