**The 3 Laws of Wagner** First Law: _A robot cannot copulate with a human being without his agreement; nor can it be passive and let this human masturbate._ Second Law: _A robot must obey all perverse desires of human beings, except if they are in contradiction with the First Law._ Third Law: _A robot must protect its virginity if such protection is not in contradiction with the First or Second Laws._ ---
