• Sex robots - for reals.

    From Tom Allen@21:1/5 to All on Mon May 1 13:49:21 2017
    Hey, some actual content for a change:


    https://vanillaedge.wordpress.com/2017/04/28/the-race-to-build-the-worlds-first-sex-robot/

    Long article and a good video. Not sure about the "race" part, since it
    seems like it would be a pretty wide open market. But it was nice to see
    an article that didn't make potential users look to be pathetic.

    Tried posting this elsewhere and it didn't show up. I'm posting here
    because now I'm wondering if eternal-september news is down.

    Yes it was on radio four Woman's hour the other day.
    There is a big debate as to whether this will increase the objectification
    of women and the rapes and non consensual activities or reduce them.
    Personally I rather suspect they will make those who are already abusive
    get worse, and those with weak wills or no appreciation of others wellbeing
    be more annoying than they already are, and why no male ones and why apparently are they all built like porn stars are supposed to be?
    Also if you can afford one of these then you can afford to buy sex with a
    real person in my view.
    A completely daft invention, I mean it cannot even walk and the thought of washing the detachable genitals is a little off-putting don't you think?
    They have been making child sexbots illegally in some parts of the world
    for some time. these are illegal in most western countries.

    I kind of see they think its a great idea, but really, its just a big joke isn't it?

    I wonder if they have one which can tie you up or whip you? No I thought
    not.


    The world has gone bonkers.

    Brian, I remember reading years ago that most studies seem to show that
    the availability of porn (magazines, internet, etc.) actually correlated
    with lessened incidents of sexual assault in certain areas. The thinking
    is that men are available to quell some urges with visual stimulation,
    which acts as a pressure relief. The idea that increased porn would lead
    to men seeking to make those fantasies real did not hold up.

    The issues with child porn is that you can't make it without children. Apparently there are quite a lot of people (mainly men) collecting child
    porn, but they don't actually abuse the children themselves. At least,
    not directly. Indirectly, of course, they are feeding into the industry.
    I think, though, that this is an entirely separate problem.

    If I had unlimited funds, I might consider buying a sexbot, simply for
    the novelty. But I'm also pretty sure that the novelty would wear out,
    and I'd be compelled to just bring her out for entertainment at dinner
    parties.

    Yes I think there is a problem with porn in that it tends to show extremes
    and hence feeds expectations beyond the normal range.
    In the case of a sex bot, can you imagine the embarrassment if you accidentally left the washable bits in the dishwasher? :-)


    I think an addictive person will get addicted to these bots just as with anything else like gambling etc, its the thrill and honestly, for many
    abusers its the thrill that gets them off. For bdsm of the conventional
    nature its still the thrill and to some extent the pain and challenge but we still know we are on the side of a line and can stop before it becomes
    abuse. If you have a bot that will take what you dish out could be dangerous
    if a real person gets to be the next partner.

    I don't think its understood that many men and women need some kind of
    sexual release from time to time, but I'm not sure an expensive doll is
    quite going to do it for many, its either using that sex organ between your ears during masturbation, or its a partner, paid or otherwise in whatever
    role play you wish.
