    Friendly reminder that the sun (and a lot of other British, Australian and American news outlets) are owned by a milliarder Rupert Murdoch

    If this becomes possible… Well, if you’re rich, then yes, but if you’re a common digital peasant, the only access you’ll have to sex with robots will be through AI sex chats. If, of course, you will have free time.

      If there are expensive physical units, they’ll just setup places you can go use one by the hour, like an internet/gaming cafe or a VR experience place. It’ll be like indoor skydiving or Top Golf.

          Lol pretty accurate. Sex doll tech has gone real far since I first heard of it but that’s still how I feel about the models in general. Making something look human while being durable/soft seems difficult. Always gives off feeling…

      Yeah the tipping point is going to be AI/robot quality and mass production scale/cost.

      I wouldn’t be surprised to see “robot” clubs at some point…

        Seen lots of talk on this topic. Basically concerns on stds are high but that never stopped anyone before. Just hard for a legit business venture. I feel like i read about a dude renting sex doll out.

      Weird that someone with an extra $50k to throw around would choose sex with a robot rather than nurture meaningful human relationships. Or maybe they could do both, because wealthy people can do whatever the fuck they want. But just imagine the mental state of anyone who’d have sex with a robot, they’re gonna be a bit fucked-up in the head. Psychotic. Cold. Disassociated.

        From what I read the sexdoll market is mostly divorced men in 50s. So probably dudes just wants something easy from burn out. Human relationships require work and time. Plus no stds or BCs to worry about. In fact the concept of added AI for conversation shows ppl want connections but don’t find it. Just ask anyone online dating who is under a 6.

    I’m ready to bet the men worried that women would fuck robots are also jerking off on Tilly Norwood and hope they can create porn videos.

    Look, there are lonely girls out there, we all see that. I have been satisfying a few of them consistently recently. It’s all very open, I don’t hide anything, but I also don’t volunteer much information. One girl knows everything, the others don’t care I think, because I buy them things too.

    Girls aren’t going to “date” robots. Robots don’t have money.

      This is the weirdest misogynistic take I’ve seen yet, it’s got to be a joke.

      It’s like that joke about women and abortion where I don’t like giving women choices, but I also like killing babies.

        User you replied to is literally some child from a religious family or something, history is a wild ride of “what the fuck” takes and weird rambling spiels. I regret the time I spent trying to figure them out.

            Maybe im sarcastic and defensive because people like you. Maybe my self-doubt and criticism is translated or transfered into a situation someone could take advantage of MY transition from 1 thing into another thing… can you imagine 1 thing randomly evolving into something different? Like a male dog suddenly realizing it is actually a female dog, but born in the wrong dog body? I say this in a joyful fun loving spirit. I dont mean to make anyone feel bad.

    It’s 2025. You can automate a sex machine from clear across the world to fuck someone with a giant direwolf dick dildo to the beat of your favorite song as you stream it live while having your morning coffee and wait for your first work conference call.

    Or so I’m told… or something.

      Which beggars the question. For men, sex is at varying degrees about power hence your anecdote and the website to back that up as a viable business model. I doubt sex is about power to women though. I’m more curious so just rambling.

      Absolutely. Those vibrator things with antenna poking out of whatever hole allow for the patterns and such to be controlled by whoever if you allow, and be controlled by trapping or holding your screen.

      Or so I know… For reasons

    Well we already have sex machines, I don’t know how different a robot would be
