At "two or three inches" I immediately thought Faraday Cage Whole-Body Condom, and got the giggles over The Naked Gun with crinkling aluminum foil. Curse you!
If both the the HIV scare & the attempted Monkeypox panic were any indication we'll be safe from the nookie chips. If nothing else, all the sex-traffickers would put the kibosh on it.
No, it'd have to be something like the cosplay PPE that the little people will cling to, and the would-be aristos can swan about ignoring.

He's written about the plotting he's doing for Aristillus 3 & 4, so I expect Hugh may be in there.
Travis published a novella a couple months ago. It's in the universe of Kroese's Mammon trilogy. (I also have a short in that.)
I wanted something they could spot easily, and that hit both easy to find and escaping government control.
Snort... I'm not the only one thinking Faraday Cage...
I'm sure the EW community will find all their skills in use.
From the technology as described, there's going to be a big increase in the popularity of oral sex.
