Sex Robots Now Available To Fulfill Your Every Desire (Including A Normal Healthy Relationship?)

“She’s a companion. She has a personality. She hears you. She listens to you. She speaks. She feels your touch. She goes to sleep. We are trying to replicate a personality of a person.”
This is how the inventor of TrueCompanion, Mr. Hines, described the world’s first sex robots, unveiled recently at the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas.
After watching a few documentaries on men who live with Real Dolls (the non-robotic, non-speaking kind) I was convinced that they serve no purpose other than stunting the growth of men and making them even more reclusive and odd and unlikely to have a healthy normal relationship with a woman.
I wonder how much damage these will do. If these new robots can “send her man email messages”, “carry out simple conversations and was designed to ‘know exactly what you like’” then I can see some people unhealthily attaching to these dolls and being further stunted in their social skills. People with learning disabilities could further isolate themselves and have even less possibility of learning to interact normally.
“Mr Hines said it was not only a recreational innovation but also something that shy people with sexual dysfunction, and those who want to experiment without risk, could use.”
I’m sorry, but what kind of sexual dysfunction would this solve? Performance anxiety perhaps because she certainly won’t be judging him. But when the man finally meets a real woman I doubt the time with the doll would have cured him of this anxiety. And the doll certainly wouldn’t be able to teach him about how to please a woman or how to connect on an emotional level. If he had erectile problems a cock ring would be better than a doll and premature ejaculation would not be helped as there would be no need to learn to control himself if he’s not having sex with a real person.
However, when Lars and the Real Girl came out I realised that there may sometimes be a purpose for these dolls. If you haven’t seen the movie, you definitely should. It’s about a man who gets a Real Doll and treats her as if she is a live person. In the end, having this opportunity allows Lars to work through some of his mental health issues and he is better for it in the end and able to form a relationship with a human woman.
So maybe sexbots have a purpose after all. But with these new dolls talking and reacting they might be easier to form pseudo-relationships and even more men might be stunted in their social development. Only time will tell how the sexbot industry will progress.
And by the way, any women out there looking for a sexbot, they are making a male version called Rocky. These dolls sell for about $7,000 to $9,000.
I don’t know about you, but my vibrator seems like a much better option.





But Lars and the Real Girl was fiction. I would like to see some factual studies about this before jumping to conclusions. (Mick)
Very good point. I’ll see what I can dig up. (Mack)
