I will get a sex robot when it can scoop catboxes and fold laundry.
every time I see crap like this it make me think about that 30rock porn for women skit with Tina Fey
Realistically how is a man going to design a good sex robot for a woman? Let a woman do that, they'll get what they want.
Women already have the perfect sex bot. It's called a Sybian.
And if that Sybian could pick you up, and stroke your thighs, massage your breasts, have hips and legs to simulate the sexual positions that it can't provide you, while still being what it is, there is a huge room for improvement on the design of the sybian and what great things it does
Syban is probably designed by a man.
Probably a group of engineers so maybe not all men, Sybian is just like the penultimate vibrator, would be a fun engineering challenge, but it's also a marketable challenge which would be why it exists
Penultimate? Which one is the ultimate then?
In this case penultimate is used to describe something that is nearly perfect. As if to say, there is little room for improvement.
✅: Does what it's asked to do
✅: Doesn't talk back
I'd kill to get my wife one, but that $1,300 tag gives me sticker shock.
But with that money you can give her the ride of her life...
You're telling me women don't like vibrators.
Speak for yourself. Gimme that drama free dick.
Well i guess im a woman then lol
I'm no expert on attraction, but what if the sex robot looked like a skeleton?
I want to get off Mr. Bones Wild Ride.
I guess a vibrator isn't a type of sex robot?
Just saying that these sort of toys were way more normalized for women long before they were for men.
A man with a fleshlight was a gross weirdo, a woman with a vibrator is a strong independent woman taking control of her sexuality and not settling for the weakness of flesh in men.
This was my thought. Its the same way all our technology has grown. Honestly I think brain interfaces could eclipse robots like this before they are that great. As scary as that is.
Colloquially, the word "robot" always implies a certain amount of anthropomorphism. So no, I don't think a vibrator would count, as basically no vibrators on the market try to look human-like.
But that definitely is a weird difference between male and female sexuality - the sex toys women buy most are the very effective and utilitarian ones: Vibrator wands, Rabbits, Air pulse Vibrators etc.
While the most popular tools for men tend to focus on "realism"(?): Fleshlights, Sex Dolls, things like VR and POV porn. And I guess sex robots would fall into that category too in the future.
I can absolutely see the weirdness-factor of someone who is desperately trying to emulate a partner rather than just accept masturbation as a solo activity and optimize it from there 😬
Slap a pair of googly eyes on it and it as good as has a soul.
A robot doesn't need to be anthropomorphic, an assembly line robot is still a robot. It does however need to be able to perform some actions autonomously, for which a vibrator hardly qualifies.

Overpriced pornstar-branded fleshlights aren't the only masturbators in town and it's not like there's no life-like dildos either. The long and short of it is that the mechanics of a lubed hole are superior to that of a hand and you're not looking at the entry point all the time so noone actually cares what they look like.
Yes, the branded stuff does exist, humans, male female, doesn't matter, enter parasocial relationships news at 11. Can you imagine how well Justin Bieber dildos would sell.
They don't ~~that~~ have that much appeal to me as well, and I'm a dude.
Sex with a hella sexy robot? Nice.
Using a hella sexy robot to fill the emptiness of no intimacy or authentic mutual connection? Not nice.
For some reason sex with a robot doesn't feel gross to me — until they start using it to fill a hole (hehe)
What about for people who struggle to have emotional intimacy and sexual intimacy throughout their lives because of medical issues or mental health issues?
My ex has a brother who is now pushing 40 and has never even held a woman's hand. He has severe mental disabilities and will never live life on his own without some kind of caretaker. We know he looked at porn, partially because he refused to ever let people fix up his computer, usually out of fear of people seeing his porn.
Does he not deserve emotional and sexual intimacy? There is a high likelihood he will never have it otherwise.
until they start using it to fill a hole
What about, like in the situation I just described, when that hole will otherwise go a lifetime of being unfulfilled? Is that fair to them for being born a way they didn't choose?
In these sexual relationships, availability and consent will always be taken for granted, something that’s never taken for granted in a sexual relationship with another human being.
People could get used to interacting in a way in which the other person isn’t taken into account as much, meaning that sexual partners could be instrumentalized for the purpose of having sex. That is to say the ‘human-humanoid’ interaction could be transferred to the relationship between two human beings.
…
Unfortunately, however, these advances aren’t being accompanied by deep reflections about the consequences that sex with robots can have.
never taken for granted
In healthy relationships anyway
Holy shit

[off topic]
From the movie Cherry 2000. In the movie the hero has just lost his sex robot and is trying to date human women for the first time in a while.
It's a favorite campy classic of mine. I love bad movies.
I also think it's one of those films with a great idea but terrible execution that could be remade.
I want to see a remake where Cherry 2000 actually has agency and consciousness and at the end of the film the two women run away together leaving the creepy guy behind.
I always thought a remake could have Chris Elliott as the creepy guy and he would kill it in such a role.
I'm surprised i haven't seen anyone talk about another movie, AI
One of the main characters is Gigolo Joe played by judge law
Probably because it wasn't super well received by audiences and kind of got forgotten by a lot of folks.
It only holds a 64% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. It's definitely not hated but it's not a deeply well liked film.
I certainly had forgotten about Jude Law as Gigolo Joe.
It wasn't well received because of the changes Spielberg finishing it had on the project.
There's like 3 or 4 points where the movie should never ended but Spielberg doesn't do those types of movies
In this current age of western dating Sex Bots at least cut out all of the bullshit for many men and give you basic companionship with the perks of sex, which is a lot easier for some than dating.
