**Moderator Note - Probably not SFW, so I have put a spoiler around the link.** [Go on](https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/7390801/harmony-sex-robot-test-brick-dollbanger-realbotix-realdoll/) (SFW), you know you want to read it. 😃 > [@](#): > > A LOVE-DOLL collector revealed he bonked the new Harmony sex robot so furiously he “broke” her. > > Brick Dollbanger has been “test driving” Harmony ahead of the dirty droid’s upcoming release – and actually managed to cause physical damage to her during his robot romps. The Sun isn’t exactly high-brow, but you’ve got to admire the reporter’s po-faced, very British, sense of humour. ---

Dollbanger, eh? I’m glad we have brave souls willing to put their bodies on the line to ensure the safety of others. I mean, it’s a machine full of solid and potentially sharp bits. Break it just wrong and you’ll have to take up some more mundane hobby like knitting or stamp collecting. ---

“Brick Dollbanger”? MmmHmmm. That’s almost biblical in “name = life path”. No other part of the story is biblical, though. At least my Bible doesn’t contain 1st and 2nd Sexalonians… ---

Now I’m frightened that, should I ever purchase a sex doll, there would be one of those little slips of paper that says “Inspected by number 28” sticking out of some orifice and I would think of this story. I’m not sure “sex doll tester” is something I would want on my resume. Regards, Shodan ---

**Moderator Note** > [@Hypno-Toad](#): > > I would not call that link SFW. It’s difficult for me to tell exactly how NSFW that link is since I have my browser locked down fairly tightly and I don’t know if anything auto-plays on that page. The article title alone might get you in trouble at work though, so even though the title isn’t featured prominently enough for your boss to see it across the room, I have gone ahead and spoiler-tagged the link. ---

Brick Dollbanger? Does he do adult acting on the side? Because sex-toy testers having a _nom de porn_ is a new one on me. ---

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the term “furious bonking” before but, god as my witness, I’m going to find a way to regularly use it in normal conversation. ---
