Shortly before the Technocalypse the first of what became called 'Nanoveau hallucinogens' became available, according to the few remaining records. Nanoveau hallucinogens With the generation of new technologies, new ways to abuse them were bound to happen.

There are polities today, such as the Houses of Pleasure and the Hentai Orwoods that have acquired tremendous wealth and prestige through the marketing of pleasure biont templates.

Many other species and clades have been created since, some using Erotogine templates and genomes, others completely novel. The Erotogini or Erotogeni (sometimes called 'touchies' 'feelies' 'shapies' or 'moldies') are among the earliest of these, dating from the early interplanetary period, and over the centuries and millennia gave rise to so many daughter clades as to become a superclade in their own right. Hedonogenic Neogens Of all the billions of neogenic species that have been created by terragen mindkind, a decent proportion are for the purpose of giving pleasure to other beings, or even to themselves or each other. Erotogenic, Biotantric (using bioborg wetware dni) and Technotantric states are all pursued, including sex or hedonic spirituality with minds of higher toposophic levels than ones own, or with neogenic dedicated erotogens created by such Minds for the enjoyment of sapients. While this may be undertaken for the purpose of spiritual development and the mystic quest, or the acquisition of knowledge for its own sake, most often it is for the purpose of enhanced or novel pleasurable experiences. These may include mystical or ecstatic experiences of sublime or transcendental states of being, merging with other minds, and with higher toposophic entities or collectivities. Hedonosymbionics One of the most common applications of symbionics is the experience of seamless virched and virch/rl alternate realities, including a new infinite diversity of altered states and innovative perceptions and experiences. Hedonics can be as basic as simple animal coupling, eating, exercise, or other physical pleasures related to basic drives(always popular among near-baselines, splices, and other organic clades) or as abstract as sharing mathematical pornography, or endorphin cultivation through bionano-mediated neotaoist alchemics. Those sciences and technologies that are dedicated to art of pleasure are known as hedonics (various subdisciplines being erotogenics, erotocratic science, tantrayogics, hedonipharmicology, nanohedonics, and countless others). The art, science, and technologies of erotic pleasure have been developing within Terragen cultures for millennia, and in many parts of the Civilized Galaxy optimal or even maximal pleasure is considered a virtue.
