It seems pretty creepy to me. I've never liked submissive women, and this goes way past that.

I don't believe that's really sex...just high tech masturbation. Sex in my mind is a very human thing, two sexualities connecting. I'd rather have one genuine, authentic attraction with a person than an army of sex robots.

We're a long, long ways away from developing an artificial life form which is genuinely capable of mimicking those traits which bring about feelings of deep intimacy and fulfilling companionship within us. It's not likely to happen in our lifetimes, and even the youngest of us on this board will likely be very old if it does.

No. I would have no interest in a sex robot. It would be nothing more than a glorified, very expensive Fleshlight.

Sounds like a "Woody Allen"movie

Nope and never.

Whatever floats your boat.

Well dang! I had an answer all formulated and then you turned the tables by asking if I would use one...

My initial instinct was to answer it's a good idea if it reduces rapes or assuages loneliness for those so plagued.

Would I use one? With no sex in ten years and no prospects (don't do casual hook ups - for my own nonjudgemental reasons), who am I to say never to that? It sort of weirds me out to think about, but I have no hangups about using other hardware to scratch the itch, so... maybe?

fuck that id probably end up with one that gets a headache

To each his own. Unfortunately ,any one that derives pleasure from this sort of thing is psychologically unbalanced . But as an idea goes it sure is a good idea for the inventor who is sure to make big bucks from all the nut jobs out there .

This reminded me of a comedy titled "Lars and the Real Girl". The plot seemed crazy but it was a fun and interesting movie.

I've said it before that people would be happier and healthier when they had more sex. If people are against prostitution then why not sex robots. I believe it would help reduce rape and sexual violence. It will also take money out of many prostitutes pockets. What will they do now for money?

I think it is a good idea, no different to any other sex toy. When you consider what else is around, prostitution, phone sex, virtual sex,sexting, all forms of pornography. I hope it may reduce rape and exploitation.

Predict that the company selling them will fail, quickly.

It seems it will be inevitable in some form - regardless of what anyone thinks. And in spite of a certain creepy aspect , I do see the appeal - to loner types, those that just can't get enough, invalids, closet kinksters etc .

In fact, if they made a really good male version ... who knows ?

Ah this is the company that makes "The Real Doll". Watched a program on people who live with them and treat them like people (ie put them in the car and belt them in for a ride) etc... That's taking it a bit far. As a masturbatory tool - I have no problem with these - except for the expense, (Also they make male dolls as well). I don't think it's any weirder than using a vibrator - until you start seating it at the table to eat meals with you etc.... Also just doesn't fit in that drawer by the bed!

No different than a dildo.

If I was really into sex, I would rather use it than go out and get a disease. Since I really don't care about sex, I wouldnt need to use it.

frank zappa has a great song about that. Cyborg on joe's garage act 2 .for me - " ain't nothing like the real thing baby"

As I was told as a child "66 % of those polled will admit that they masturbate, 33 % are liars, and 1 % are inconclusive." It's really just that until and unless artificial intelligence becomes a reality worthy of equality to a natural human "person."

no, you can't beat the closestness,touchy feely side,probaly ok if you go straight in to sex, i like kissing and working your way up to the moment etc,

I would imagine that they will be available for both men and women.Now, if you are a woman and some guy is giving you unwanted attention you could always say to him, go virtual reality yourself.
