> [@pbbth](#): > > No, I don’t think he has actually. His audience isn’t men who are perfectly normal but might entertain the idea of fucking a robot given no other options. His audience is men who can’t seem to interact with other people in such a way to have friends or lovers. That weird guy in your office that you think might go nuts and shoot the place up someday and blushes in such a way when women walk by that you just know he has never touched a boob? That is this robot’s audience. Thanks. Now you’ve just given me the mental picture of Milton Waddams having sex with that thing. WHERE IS THE DAMN MENTAL FLOSS?! ---

I’m similarly confused by why they’ve tried to make it speak. I mean, did they figure that they were on a roll after “solving” the problem of making a realistic human body, so what the hey, let’s beat the Turing Test? To the OP: Hell no. I have no shame issue with screwing a robot (I would see it as a masturbation aid, like a vibrator) but nothing so far looks real enough for me to get it up. > [@Pyper](#): > > So basically it’s Teddy Ruxpin with the body of a blow-up doll. > > And it’s not even the doll itself that’s creepy, it’s the whole thought process that led up to it. This guy’s friend died on 9/11, so he thought he’d create a robot with the dead man’s personality. You know, for the kids. 😃 Best post of 2010! Yeah, it’s early days, but still… ---

Not a guy but, Ewwww! I mean, one would think that the whole point of the robot is to have a consistently willing partner, right? So why build a robot who looks as if she’d really rather not. I mean, the expression in that second picture can only be described as “haunted.” She looks like an abuse victim. Triple ick! ! ! FTR I’ve never liked toys; much prefer a human partner with his own equipment. ---

Someone before me mentioned Real Dolls. They’re not too robotic yet but apparently the makers are working on that. Pretty dog gone realistic. One of the Howard Stern crew had sex with one. He liked it/her. > **[Realdoll - The World's Finest Love Realdoll](https://www.realdoll.com)** > > The original Realdoll, founded in 1997, exclusively made in the USA. Expertly hand crafted. As seen on TLC, Discovery, Playboy TV, HBO's Real Sex, and more. I wouldn’t buy one, but if I was stranded on a deserted island like Tom Hanks in Cast Away? I’d take a Real Doll over a stupid vollyball named Wilson. 😃 [http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs32/f/2008/214/3/5/Cast\_Away\_Tom\_Hanks\_and\_Wilson\_by\_GabrielPadilha.jpg](http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs32/f/2008/214/3/5/Cast_Away_Tom_Hanks_and_Wilson_by_GabrielPadilha.jpg) ---
