Engineer Creates Sex Robot That Needs To Be Romanced First

It’s so tempting to reply

“What’s the Point?”
Engineer Creates Sex Robot That Needs To Be Romanced First | HuffPost Weird News?

Sergi Santos is a man with a mission: He wants to make sure robotic sex dolls that enjoy the sex as much as the humans ― or at least act like they do.
The Barcelona-based engineer has just created a sex doll named “Samantha,” who is equipped with the latest advancements in artificial intelligence.
As the video demonstrates, Samantha responds when the user touches her hands and hips by saying positive statements like “I love this” and “Nice and gentle” in a singsong voice.
“Basically she likes to be touched. She has different modes of interaction ― she has romantic, she has family and she has also sexy modes,” Santos told Ruptly TV.
Santos also said she “likes” to be kissed while putting his finger in her mouth, in a manner that’s not awkward at all.
Santos said it doesn’t take much for Samantha to respond to romantic overtures.
“Normally she likes to be kissed always and also she responds to, basically, the G-spot and also the breasts,” he said. “She also responds to the hands.”
However, she’s no sure thing.
Santos said she is programmed to want romance first, then get comfortable before getting sexual.
“The objective, the final objective of the sexual mode is to give her an orgasm,” said Santos.

Sounds like it could at least act as a good Training Guide for the Clueless Male. If so, it ought to dispense Man Treats as well as male orgasms.

Well, now you’re just repeating yourself.

I’ll take “Worst Selling Robots in History” for $1,000, Alex.

If the idea of this is, “Make men more understanding and considerate of women,” I don’t think it’ll do much good at all. It’ll simply make men think that if you learn a certain pre-programmed script of foreplay and ritual that you’ll “romance” a woman. It’s still following a “script.”

She has different modes of interaction ― she has romantic, she has family and she has also sexy modes.

What exactly is the “family” mode? Possible “Not now, the kids are home.”

Yeah, it seems like a case of “Nice-Guy”-ism/“game”-ism: take steps A, B, C to please her and you’ll get her to respond.

Sounds like Howard Wolowitz’s robot girlfriend. Totally different than his robot prostitute.

There’s great potential here. I’m thinking of taking out a patent on the next major advance in sex robotics technology: a sex robot that insists on marriage, then has an affair with the pool guy, files for divorce, and hires a carnivorous lawyer who demands massive alimony along with title to the house and custody of the Labrador retrievers.

Are they kidding with this “likes Ed Sheeran” bit? 'Cause eww I have some standards.

Except the arm was all he needed.

Uhhhh, yeah. (Backs slowly away, while glancing around for a weapon)

Goddamn, that thing is creepy. Anybody who had anxieties about sex would be freaked the fuck out by that talking corpse.

What’s next? Phones with cords?

I suppose it could just be that the guy has a… what would you call it, a romance fetish? That it feels more real and satisfying if he has to woo her first? I mean, I wouldn’t necessarily say that’s creepier than any other kink.
