The Rise of Sex Robots and Pleasure Machines

My first topic - I'm not sure what this says about me.

I think these have to be my 2 favorite quotes for the day:

"Robots are going to take over the world. But we might as well lie back and think of the invasion because it's going to be pleasurable, says a leading robot scientist"

(and)

"At first, sex with robots might be considered geeky, but once you have a story like 'I had sex with a robot and it was great!' appear in a magazine like Cosmo, I'd expect many people to jump on the bandwagon," artificial intelligence researcher David Levy, who completed his PhD on the subject of human-robot relationships, told LiveScience"

hehehhe, I best guess is that the clients for these robots have never had sex......so the mear fact that they just MIGHT, would be just simply fantastic!

Hmmm...makin' it with a robot...

It might be OK...nah forget it, too weird.

I could definitely see this taking off at some point. Hell, people these days pretty much have sex with their computers, not a big jump doing the deed with a robot I suppose.





I've seen pictures of those Japanese sex-bots and they look pretty life-like. Kind of freaky actually.

As for me I think I'll stick to having sex with humans, for now.

Yeah these will be for people with no hands and no imagination right?

Naughty, naughty, LadySkadi, I love it.

You know you have given me a rather mischievous grin now, right?

I have heard all sorts of sordid information about this particular topic.

From "cyber-sex" machinery, to the pleasuring devices of mutually consensual adults, to robots just for the use of sex, but while I can see the complacency kicking in now of thoughts of "safe-sex" for those who want to get their rocks off, it leads towards a closing off of society for those who want to avoid a partner because of jilted feelings, bad relationships, and sexually abused victims.

While I have been called a "robot" before, both because of my sexual prowess as well as the way I lock onto a target, politically, or otherwise, there is something to be said for human companionship.

Besides, after-sex, shower-sex, would be quite impossible, because I would assume you cannot drag your Sex-O-Matic Mistress 1000 into the shower due to the water.

I can just see the sexual crimes changing, names being enhanced, and new sexual jokes already.

"Solicitation of a lube job"

"Cyber-Adultery"

"Lewd and lascivious behavior with computer equipment"

Husband : Honey, I don't know how else to tell you this, but I'm leaving you.

Wife : What about what we have?

Husband : I'm sorry, but I've met someone else.

Wife : Is it Sheila from next door?

Husband: No. *uncomfortable silence*

Wife : Is it your secretary?

Husband : No. *uncomfortable silence*

Wife : Well, tell me who it is, God damn it.

Husband : It's the Sex-O-Tronic 5000

I can understand sex toys, they do have their place and can be fun when you want to shake things up a little bit, but they are a prop, not a replacement! How bad is your sex life, or how bad is your luck if you can't get the real thing to where you have to use robots? how pathetic!

When you really look at it, I guess it wouldn't be that much different than a woman using a vibrator, except that we actually put it down long enough to eat and check our email

And just what do we call these walking talking cosmic throbatrons?
Would they have A.I.?
I forsee some unusual patients at A&E Departments.

ok very touchie question i would like to enquire on the ops experience in this field? this could be a really fun thread! s&f

The robots are probably appealing to major technophiles.
All I can say is: I've talked to people who have interest in these things.


But I'm betting they aren't cheap.

Google realdoll.

Mix those plus the robots and software and now you're talking.
Everything a growing basement computer nerd needs

I googled, now I wish I hadn't...

Now, go with this... say one was to try it for novelty sake, just out of curiosity, or heck maybe someone double-dog dared you ... I just really want to know how you would share the after-deed cigarette? Isn't that part of the fun?

*Well, I don't smoke, but that's what I hear*

That's two times I've burned you.

Wait, you listened to SLAYER69?

Wow, you are new here.

That's three, SLAYER69.



Interesting topic nonetheless. Let's see if we can keep it civilized and sexually un-explicit.

I've never realdolled I swear!

But Howard Stern has.

Well, Hello, Dolly
For some people, dating is a hassle and getting married just plain scary. Could the ultimate companion come shipped in a box?

It's a rather sad commentary on society, but I think sex robots would be a great way to make money, especially if they were... realistic. I could well imagine companies marketing a sex robot after whatever celebrity actress of the week is in the movies at the time, and people buying them up like crazy.

There is no way of me having sex with a robot

Did you happen to notice the company that makes these realdolls.

Abyss Creations. That's right Abyss as in your are going to hell for this doll.

"...psychologists have identified roughly a dozen basic reasons why people fall in love, "and almost all of them could apply to human-robot relationships. For instance, one thing that prompts people to fall in love are similarities in personality and knowledge, and all of this is programmable. Another reason people are more likely to fall in love is if they know the other person likes them, and that's programmable too..."

Sex and Marriage

Admittedly, the novelty of a toy is one thing, but this speaks volumes (even at a hypothetical) about society at large.
