Futuristic Sex Robots Now Just "Sex Robots"
High-C writes "With apologies to Futuristic Sex Robotz, the future is here, and her name is Roxxxy. Truecompanion.com has revealed their answer to the Real Doll, and it looks nice. The site is short on details, pictures, pricing info, but wow." NOTE: some of the above links are not work-safe, for many values of work. I stopped by this exhibit today at the AVN Expo (not officially a part of CES, but by curious coincidence scheduled to coincide; the old saw that porn drives tech isn't without merit). Roxxxy, though, was rather unsexily posed on a couch, not moving a bit — downright creepy, in fact.
whoever buys one of those is fucked in the head
I will order 13.
They are called vibrators.
Strangely, widely accepted by one of the sexes, this which is usually thought to be more demanding (on many levels) of partners.

The eternal struggle of good vs. evil begins within one's self.
Oh shit, after you said that I had to click through the links again. I thought that first link in the "the future is here, and her name is Roxxxy" was a picture of the robot. Reading the caption closer, I realize it's supposed to be a real person.
So it seems I either can't tell real people from fake ones, or real people are starting to look fake.
I just want to join the QA team.
Your god may be dead, but mine aren't!
So, umm, I guess there will be no "RTFA" comments in this thread.

can carry on a discussion and expresses her love to you and be your loving friend.
Yeah, because conversation and expressions of love is exactly what I'm looking for when the urge to "relieve" myself shows up ;) It's only one small step from this functionality to the lovebot claiming it has a backache when you start undressing ;)
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
Have gnu, will travel.

It feels good to be a girl right now.
Oh! Sorry! We can come back a little later if you're still... indisposed. We... uh... heard a strange buzzing noise and thought it might have been a transformer going out or something...

He killed me with a sword. How weird is that?

Um...does this post make me a sex toy nazi?
Nope...but watch out. Now you've got a legion of /. nerds who can't figure out if you're a guy or a girl. Your mailbox is going to be flooded.
Om, nomnomnom...
Because other girls don't have dicks.
Me too... unless it's at my hand...
APK quotes people (including myself) without context and should not be trusted. Just thought you should know.
Hell, I divorced two wives because they wanted to "carry on a discussion". Believe an old rodeo clown like me, fellas, "discussion" is heavily overrated when it comes to relationships with the opposite sex.
Great. How long before she starts telling me to take out the garbage? No thanks. If you don't mind, I'll wait until I can get the rev 2.1 non-English speaking version, with the culinary-skills upgrade.
You are welcome on my lawn.
You don't want to think about that, it'd be a cluster fuck.
I still have more fans than freaks. WTF is wrong with you people?
TRUECOMPANION.COM: World's First Sex Robot * Always Turned On And Ready To Talk Or Play
It seems this is yet another technical project doomed to failure from a lack of proper requirements gathering before implementation.
The primary theoretical advantage of a sex robot is that you can turn it OFF.

Yeah, but you can't keep a prostitute in your closet to utilize whenever the mood strikes.
...well, you could, but that sort of thing is generally frowned upon.
And finally one grill product without the head of George Foreman on it.
At least... oh well, whatever floats your boat, but I do NOT want to see one on mine!
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
I, for one, wholeheartedly welcome our sex robot overlords...
(I gotta believe someone else posted this already but didn't see it)
I love your eyes Roxxy
roxxy: I love your eyes too, bill.
You make me hot!
roxxy: do you like it that i make you hot?
What's your favorite sex move!?!
roxxy: What about your own favorite sex move, bill?
I like pinching your nipples.
roxxy: Can you elaborate on that, bill?
I like pinching them and making you squeal!
roxxy: Do you wish to like pinching them hard so me, bill?

She was like chocolate when she drank... semi-sweet at first and then increasingly bitter.
I just want the same respect you'd give any man on this forum.
I think that's what he was giving you.
Our condolences. This sounds a lot like Taliban - perhaps you should ask to be liberated or something; I hear there is that country, can't remember its name, thats pretty good at that sort of thing. Especially if you've got a dry arid climate, they've got a lot of recent experience with that.
Likewise, women owning vibrators went from being something no-one admitted to, to something that second-wave feminism made normative and no big deal (witness many of the comments about vibrators already in this thread, most of which aren't from 'anonymous cowards').
As a non-woman, I wish they'd go back to not talking about it. Look, I get it: you don't want to have sex with me. You don't have to revel in it so much when I'm around.
Um...does this post make me a sex toy nazi?
No, but you inspired me to finally sign up for an account.
Um...does this post make me a sex toy nazi?
Um, I dunno. Are you now a 12 inch tall vibrating Hitler?
Waitaminute... I suddenly sense an extremely profitable business opportunity!

So they don't need liberating.
Inspiration for the sex robot sprang from the September 11, 2001 attacks, when planes crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon and an empty field in Pennsylvania.

Does anyone know which stage of grief is the one where you invent an object and place your feelings on it and then fuck it?

Mr. Garrison from South Park (from Season 9 to 12):
1) Refers to self as "dyke".
2) Likes to constantly remind people he's a woman
3) Gets up in everyone's face at the slightest provocation regarding issues of sex/sexual orientation
4) Something in the name implies a sex-change operation
girlintraining (in terms of above four characteristics):
1) Check
2) Check
3) Check
4) Checkmate.
Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure everything I just said is completely wrong.
Not even remotely the same.
1) The knife wound is going to be warmer. You can't achieve the same effect with ground chuck since it will actually cook it and then you're just fucking cooked ground beef which has a much, much, different texture. Plus you had better wait till the meat cools off. Trust me.
2) You better have a real small dick, or a really large knife. Internal organs and muscle don't give, or conform, to the shape of your dick as readily as ground chuck. Plus it just feels weird man.
3) If you stab into muscle, the muscle around it can still contract. At best it can be interesting, at worst you are being carried around by a cow by your dick. Then you have to use your knife frantically to kill it.
4) You either let the cow run around with a deep stab wound (unethical and cruel), or kill it afterwards. You can't kill it before hand, because that would be bestial necrophilia and:
a) That's some seriously sick twisted perverted shit man. I'm disgusted you made me even think about it. Again.
b) A juror always pukes when they hear that in the court room and I got a weak stomach for that kind of stuff. Plus the judgment in everyone's eyes.
5) The only sane thing to do is to kill the cow in such a way as to make it look like aliens came and did shit to the cow. Most of time.. it ain't aliens.
P.S - Of course... just maybe... you have problems differentiating a +5 funny attempt and a +5 'I was actually fucking serious' :)
At least the robot can't charge you with rape when you ignore its protests...
"I like systems, their application excepted", George Sand (French)
A comic on the radio the other day said, "no doesn't mean no- it means, work on the nipples some more, kiss the side of the neck some more, and check back in five minutes".
I've found most females have to approach sex sideways. "I'm not doing this.. oh look, we just somehow ended up naked and having sex".
OTH, The two females who were direct were a bit scary and offputting.
She was like chocolate when she drank... semi-sweet at first and then increasingly bitter.
The three sex robot laws:
1. A sex robot must allow a human to cum.
2. A sex robot may deny any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A sex robot must protect its own ass as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
So I'd need about 54 bucks worth. That's not a bad deal.

You're confused about a great deal here. This is normal. Many men are confused about sex, and what they want from a partner. To put it bluntly, while a sex robot might or might not be okay as a substitution for masturbation, it is a long stretch from being a substitute for sex. While it's true that men and women have different flavors of interest in sexual relations, the differences aren't so great as all that, and a belief that a robot is a potential substitute for the man's half in all this illustrates a profound lack of understanding of both what it is men want and need, as well as a profound lack of self-understanding. I.e., to wit: whatever you think you know about men, and even yourself, is illusory. Look deeper, young padiwan.
Joe.
Yeah, that's what you think. Wait till IT ignores YOUR protests.
Yeah, think about that!
