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.

It's about luxury, I guess?

Granted, the fleshlight is a little over twice as expensive, but it's still in about the same range, and it is (more or less) the same kind of toy -- a disembodied genital.

Now, the TrueCompanion website doesn't list a price, and I assume it would be much higher. For comparison, it looks like the Female RealDoll runs around $5k or $6k... But they have Male ones, too, and they aren't cheaper, unless you go for the disembodied torso.

And a Sybian is a little over $1k.

So no, I don't think it really says all that much. I mean, I do agree with you about this:

Why anyone would spend hundreds of dollars on a sex toy is beyond me.

...though probably for a reason you wouldn't like: If I was that desperate, a prostitute is probably more cost-effective and convenient, and I'd rather not do either. But I don't really see anything about this to make one gender better or worse... ...though I suspect that far more women own vibrators than men own any sex toy. Maybe we make up for it in pornography?
