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.
Half a dozen links and I couldn't find one pic of the damn robot. If it was that "creepy" posing on the couch, how could you not at least snap a picture?
Breakfast served all day!
Did I just see a link to Encyclopedia Dramatica on the Slashdot front page?
..this time, most slashdotters actually RTFA.
Of my past 5 girlfriends, all had at least one vibrator or dildo. Not that I've asked, but I don't know any guys that have a pocket pussy or the like. If a girl has a 12" rubber uncut black cock, would she consider you a freak for having a flesh light? Somehow, I think she would.
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
I know that the TCO of a couple mixed drinks, a venereal disease and eventual child support payments is more than $6,000, but I think your average buyer is gonna find that price tag pretty steep.
Especially when these things look like the fucking puppets from Team America: World Police!!
I scream. You scream. I assume that means we're both acquainted with the problem. We proceed.
But just like paedophilia the numbers on sex trafficking are blown out of proportion by the alarmists. In actual fact, the number of women trafficked to the west against their will for the purposes of sex is insignificant. People smuggling is a far more serious problem.
The majority of sex workers travel of their own accord, this is particularly prevalent with SE Asian women where there is little stigmata against prostitution. This is why you can find Thai and Philipina girls working in many cities such as Amsterdam, Dubai, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. Most of these women make a hundred times what they do with a "real" job in their own countries and often go home rich. Even in Thailand, in Phuket the minimum daily wage is 209 Baht per day (A$8) and these jobs will go to locals before a farm girl from Issan, Phuket is one of Thailand's richest provinces whilst Issan comprises the poorest provinces so the average daily wage is lower in the Issan provinces. Now these women could work 10-12 hour days in a factory or farm for less then 200 Baht a day or they could work in a bar in Phuket and potentially pull between 1000 and 4000 Baht a night (A$30 to A$130) via prostitution, obviously not every night but the prospect of this kind of money is very appealing to a girl who has little education and few employment opportunities.
Calling someone a "hater" only means you can not rationally rebut their argument.
That is because popular opinion says that women can always get laid if they want to, and when they choose not to and use a vibrator instead, they are perceived as being discerning. Whereas a man that uses a pocket pussy is perceived as a loser because "everyone knows" that he would rather have had the real thing.
There's absolutely no problem with you being a girl. There are many girls on Slashdot, and I haven't ever seen that being a problem.
The problem with you, personally, is that you're very in-your-face about "I'm a girl, and that MATTERS!". That's what GP means by "constantly mentioning" and "attention whore". There's nothing wrong with identifying your gender when it's relevant to the topic at hand, but, judging by your post history, you're keen on dragging it into every discussion - and, if necessary, you will bend the discussion to do so. And you usually also do it in a deliberately provocative way to cause a gender pissing match. That's what annoys people.
Of all females posting to /. - which are surprisingly many, actually - and even out of quite a few who have explicitly identified themselves as lesbian or bi - you are the only one being singled out like that. You might consider if that is because of your attitude, rather than your gender or sexual orientation.
In the shower? There's your issue. Water is a horrid lubricant for that stuff. And if it was prelubricated... it was most likely water based.
So, basically that's all your fault.
And, you've never tried something decent. That was a $25 piece of shit doll. Try a $60 fleshlight, there's a big difference. Yea, not as quick as using my hand and cleanup etc is a pain in the ass, but the intensity of it is levels higher.
(yea, you creeped out yet? heh)
For large sets, this will be our guide even unto death, for the LORD will work for each type of data it is applied to...
"Techiedude96" likely wouldn't say "It feels good to be a boy right now. ^___^"
Admittedly, that's mostly because we're a patriarchal society where it rarely if ever doesn't feel good to be a boy.
However, I think your post answered the question it begged - you can "feel good" by only spending $25 on a vibrator, with occasional batteries and lotion, and spending hundreds of dollars on a sex toy is "beyond you." Well, obviously.
Other people need more than bullets: both men and women alike. And you choose to rub in their faces the fact that they can't get off with pocket change, and you choose to bring gender into it by erroneously claiming that girls need spend less on sex supplies than guys.
That's sexist bullshit, girlintraining. And it's demeaning to a heck of a lot of people.
So you want to take "pride" in something that isn't an accomplishment (being female), while working to undo the accomplishments that have been made in the name of women, and sex, everywhere. Are you sure you're not working for a medal?
Never know that there was to have pride to have a gender. How can I be proud of something I have no influence over. I am so proud to have the gender I have, to have the skin color I have and where I was born. Just plain silly.
The fact that you are a dyke is also of no interest. Who really cares?
And why would you visit a backwater geek website? If you don't like it, do not go there. So here another one for you:
Gay men love men and therefore do it with men.
Lesbians hate men and are therefore forced to sleep with the alternative.
All the gay bars I went to with a female, we were both more then welcome. The moment I said I was not gay, there was no problem.
All the lesbian bars I went to with a female, people either asked me to leave or treated me like I was raping women on the bar (if I was allowed to enter in the first place)
So talk again about sexist bullshit, because that is what I get from the majority of the lesbian community: sexist bullshit.
Don't fight for your country, if your country does not fight for you.
And yet I'd rather have people fuck all the robot kids they want than have them rape real children.
Justice is the sheep getting arrested while an impartial judge declares the vote void.
I'm guessing this is a troll, but the fact that this is modded "Interesting" instead of "Troll" says something disturbing about slashdot. I can only imagine that a reasonable number of readers agree with it. Presumably embittered male readers.
So many things I could say, so let me pick the easiest: assets? Seriously? A neutral addition to the household, or a liability? How are they any more of a liability than YOU are, unless you are in fact suggesting that a woman's place is in the home and that "the skills that made them an asset in the past" are the only skills of value?
So rather than viewing women has human beings who you might want to share your life with, you're viewing them as a burdensome financial investment in exchange for sex. It's just barely possible that this attitude may go some way towards explaining the problems you've been having with women.
You and me both. The problem people will be those that feel they have some sort of divine (or otherwise) responsibility to shame and/or punish pedophiles just for being pedophiles, even when no child is or would have been harmed.
Back when I was still forced into going, I remember a sermon my father's pastor gave about homosexuality, wherein he basically said that as long as homosexuals do not act upon their urges in any way, shape, or form, then they can be as homosexual as they want. Maybe not the same thing, but for some reason I was reminded of that sermon.
