Robot Sex Dolls

Tools    





I was thinking... if "they" made a robot that did whatever you wanted it to do, why would you want to put up with "real" people's crap? Would you want to make a family of robots that contained your ideal morals, reasoning, looks, etc., etc? Isn't the ultimate goal of reproduction supposed to be the opportunity to pass on your way of thinking? Why not just put that down in binary, order the hottest robot-hump-doll you can find, hump it all day long, then sync your reasoning into that humping machine and let it create a miniature robot that thinks exactly the way you want it to? Everyone complains about how so and so does whatever, but one day they're going to get what they want. The ability to see the flaws of their children before they're born... do you hit the reset button while the kids still brewin' and give it another chance? Personally, I'd go for the old fashioned kid, flaws and all. That's not to say I wouldn't have a robot-sex-doll on stand by.

Your thoughts? Reseting unborn children? Humping robots? Teaching a robot to be like you?

I was just thinking again... when robots become available to the public or easy to make, what is the government going to do to keep some A-hole from making a giant robot that can kick everyone's ass?

I'm predicting a civil war type battle with robots.



Personally, I don't really see very human-like robots ever living among us, but I could be wrong. They would probably be very expensive to buy... but if they're used for sex, I bet the ugly, defective ones would be cheaper.

Ummm... our world would be drastically different for that kind of scenario to occur. ???? Very Twilight Zone.



We're a very long ways away, not because of technology, per se, but because of the accompanying aesthetics. There's a phenomenon known as "The Uncanny Valley," theorized by a Japanese robotistict named Masahiro Mori, which deals with the fact that -- while we find certain degrees of anthropomorphism cute, or even endearing -- if something becomes too human looking, a large number of people begin to feel repulsed by it.

The end result is that Johnny 5 is adorable, but mannequins are creepy as all get out.

This could be because something only vaguely human represents no threat to replace us, whereas something closer to human may. Or it could be a byproduct of an evolutionary skill at detecting subtle imperfections in potential mates.

Regardless, robots won't replace humans unless a) they continue looking a lot like robots, or b) roboticists almost perfectly replicate human features and emotions. I have some doubt about whether the latter is even possible and, if it is, if it's something we'll be able to do anytime soon.

This obviously has major implications for the possibility of mass-produced "sex bots." You might tolerate a clearly robotic looking housekeeper, but most people aren't going to buy a sex robot that clearly resembles a robot. And they sure aren't going to buy a sex robot that they find repulsive on a deep, instinctual level.

Anyway, I think most people would agree that sex is about a lot more than physical release, and robots simply can't replace the elements of emotional connection involved. For that reason, I imagine that sex bots -- should they ever become viable and achieve any kind of place in society -- would be viewed as an extreme, needy form of porngraphy.

Here's the real question, though: when will the allegedly "progressive" United States elect a sex robot President? Though I suppose some would argue we already have...



Mannequins are creepy, but what about statues? I would much rather get it on with say, Michelangelo's David, than freakin' Johnny 5 from Short Circuit.

Johnny 5 looks rather gay in the cowboy hat and bandana. Interesting that it's a red bandana. If he had on jeans with butt pockets (and of course had a butt) the red bandana peeking out of one of the pockets would mean he's into fisting. Yikes!



Now that you mention it, I am disgusted/repulsed/creeped out by anything that looks somewhat human. I took this "what disgust you" test and the end result was that people in general are disgusted by things that look as though they might carry disease or be infected. With that in mind, a robot that looks as if it might actually be a deformed inbred version of a person would most definitely be labeled as disgusting. Cool.



Should I call you Logan, Weapon X?
Fan: Shake that big ole' booty Johnny!
Johnny Five: Malfunction. Need input.

Classic Indian Guy quotes from Short Circuit!


Ben Jabituya: With excitement like this, who is needing enemas?

Ben Jabituya: Newton, we are wasting valueless time here.

Ben Jabituya: I am standing here beside myself.

Ben Jabituya: I am sporting a tremendous woody.

My daughter has a phobia of mannequins. It makes shopping a real bitch sometimes.

I love mannequins, but I can understand why they're scary. My most favorite mannequin ever was one that I found in Kohl's. It was IN A WHEELCHAIR. I think it might have been a kid mannequin, but I can't remember for sure. All I know for sure is that it was in a wheelchair.

Now I know they're just trying to be all inclusive and positive towards handicapped people... but how ironic is it that mannequins can't even walk and HERE'S A MANNEQUIN IN A WHEELCHAIR?!

Is it really that upsetting to people in wheelchairs that most mannequins are standing up? They still can't walk. They have to be picked up and carried. And what about all of these freaky incomplete mannequins, like the ones without heads, that just show off a shirt and maybe pants? Mannequins without arms. Mannequin torsos. Are people with missing body parts offended? Or do they think they're being represented?



I love that film Mannequin, nothings gana stop us nowwww!

Me too! I'm praying to the Mannequin Gods that the sequel, Mannequin 2: On The Move, will finally get a release on DVD. If my VHS copy dies on me, I might die too.

Wow a sequel!? Can always sacrifice a few Mannequins to the Mannequin gods that may help.

I never thought of that before.... ok, I'm gonna go to JCPenny and get some. Wanna help? Bring a mask to hide your face.
