RRoDzaaah!
and sex!

"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 someplace like Cosmo magazine, I'd expect many people to jump on the bandwagon,"

Sex with robots - it's only a matter of time, and frankly, people already do alot worse...

Marriage with robots, however - that's a different story. What kind of a person would you have to be to want to 'marry' something that you could program and reprogram with desirable traits and completely control/dominate?

Robots may be becoming more human-like, but that's not to say that humans should become more robot-like and meet them half way.

Shouldn't that read: ...humans are becoming more robot-like...?

I don't know if robots are the answer. Battery operated toys have already satisfied hundreds of thousands in the past few decades.

There's been a massive trade based around people having sex with machines for years...
 
What if the robot has only been programmed to say "I do". It's not really consensual.
 
Well it depends on how accurately you could emulate judgement. If it could be emulated perfectly, you could always reprogram it to say yes. :dopey:
 
Did you know, you can program a robot to have three different types of orgasm?
1) The positive orgasm: "Oh yes! Oh YES!"
2) The negative orgasm: "Don't stop! Don't stop!"
and 3) The fake orgasm: "Oh Doug! Oh Doug!"
 
The alternative is the potential to suffer the humiliation of being rejected by a robot... :ill:

Mary-Lou #34312/J54: DOES NOT COMPUTE!
 
Wasn't there a Futurama episode dealing with this? Where Fry falls in love with Luck Lou through the internet?

A woman.

Obviously you aren't married because that is exactly what women try to do to their husbands. Trust me, as more and more flowery things pop up in my house and I ponder my car models, Yoda and Boba Fett cardboard stand ups, model airplanes, old video game systems, baseball cards, comic books, and movie posters all stored away in the attic I realize I am slowly becoming reprogrammed.

Heck, I bought a PS3 with the condition that I had to get rid of my PS2. Then when I mention a PSP I got a, "No more game systems!"

And don't get me started on how the baby or Chihuahua debate did not have a "none of the above" option.

Trust me, when you put marrying a robot in those terms I can imagine plenty of women jumping at the chance. Perhaps you should write an advertising brochure now and sell it to the companies as soon as they begin to develop these robots.
 
Mercedes Robot: Will run all day and do whatever you want, quite expensive though.

Renault Robot: Can fall apart at any moment, also the metal isn't always de-burred properly so you might get some nasty scratches in unwanted places.

Skoda Robot: Dead cheap, eastern european but surprisingly succesful.

Rover Robot: Currently undergoing Chinese facelift...
 
Psh, we can't even get gay marriage to pass in the US. I can just see the debate for robots...

Sex with robots seems so obvious that it's not even worth mentioning. Hell they sell torsos that you can have sex with right now, how would making it move a little and look more realistic be any less desirable? If your sex toy can also do the dishes, take the dog for a walk, and clean up the house (ie: you can pretend to guests that it's for something other than sex), why not?

What's more, I can see this fulfilling other roles as well. Obviously the pet thing is priority 1. Want a dog that doesn't crap, and doesn't eat? Get a robot. But what about children? Say you can't have any, or you don't want to go through the trouble of having them or raising them. Why not get a robot child? Guaranteed to stay in whatever stage of life you prefer for as long as you want it to. But problems come when you want to enroll it in school.

Marriage, however, is simply retarded. Marriage is a legal construct for sharing property and children. Can you imagine some dude dying and everything going to his robot? Or someone programs a robot to want a divorce and suddenly we have the robot going to court arguing for half of the money? Or custody of the children? It doesn't even make sense. Perhaps someone no longer wants to take care of their children. Why not marry a robot and give it custody. Problem solved.
 
I guess if this starts happening, there will be magazines that review these robots. I can imagine it now...

The 2058 Cherry 3000

The Good: Fully functional and programmed in multiple techniques. Built like the proverbial brick house. Great ride. No gag reflex.

The Bad: Smug looks from faces of Cherry 3500 owners. And gentlemen, she's programmed with over 6 million forms of communication.

The Verdict: Not your adopted father's Cherry... (AKA YOUR MOM) for years of therapy free enjoyment.



I find this all incredibly creepy, btw.

Creepier Version:

Self lubricating, built-in gag reflex, easily removable appendages for those really tricky positions.


Edit: BTW - I see this whole robot sex thing being more popular with men for some reason. Not sure exactly why.

An odd stereotype considering what the majority of, um, personal aids are designed like.

I think it's because men are more visual, and I see this as being appealing from a visual point of view. How many blow-up dolls do you see for women?
 
Can you switch the robot off afterwards so you can go and watch the football?

Even better, the robot could have a built in TV or a remote control so you don't even have to move once you've taken care of business.
 
I wonder where they got their inspiration?
