Sex Robots

Well, that should do wonders for my search rankings…

The video is about sixteen minutes long and some of it strays into the seriously creepy – such as the guy who lives with three sex dolls for companionship and the image of him kissing one of them will need serious mind-bleach to get rid of it…

Clearly there is a great deal of effort going into making them as real as possible. They have a way to go yet, mind, but as with the Internet, sex is leading the way when it comes to development. Harmony may not be quite real yet – she can’t walk, but I suspect that the people who buy her aren’t interested in her ambulation skills; and her speech skills are rudimentary although she is able to learn, which could be a bit scary – but given time, the product will improve.

There is a serious point to be made here and we get to the end of the documentary before we reach it. There is a very red-faced angry woman who wants them banned. Because feminism.

Y’know, there are things I don’t like and don’t approve of. Football being one. I detest football. Stupid, pointless game that is mind-numbingly tedious. It annoys me that we are assumed to be interested (I’m not). Switch on the television during an international match and it is expected that we want to know the latest scores and who is winning (I don’t). But, and here’s the important point; I have no desire to get out the big bad ban stick. If people want to watch it or play it, that’s up to them; just don’t expect me to display any interest. Even my irritation with the whole thing is not sufficient for me to want to get out the big bad ban stick.

Which brings me back to sex robots (yes, please – Ed) and the red-faced angry woman (no, thanks – Ed). Well, she claims that people who buy sex robots are objectifying women. Seems to me, that they are objectifying the sex robots, but clearly I am wrong…

The question here is; what harm is being done? Is creepy guy actually hurting anyone? Clearly he can’t find a real live woman to keep him company, so a silicon one will have to do. Is the silicon woman being abused here? And if so, does she care? Are any real women being abused here? So what is wrong with letting him live his life surrounded by sex robots? And if red-faced angry woman doesn’t like it, well, no one is forcing her to have one. But, no, she disapproves, so others must be forced comply with her wishes. As is the case with authoritarian bansturbators the world over.

That said, if the end of the world came and I was the only man left on the planet and angry red-faced woman was the only female, I’d be faced with a conundrum for the sake of the survival of mankind…

Nah. I’ll take the sex robot if it’s all the same to you…

  1. It was ever the way, LR. “I don’t like / approve of it, so nobody should be allowed to do it”. I wonder if she would be so opposed to the idea if the robot was male and engineered to please a woman.

    Anyway, I would have thought that the availability of sex robots would be viewed as a positive by the wimmin, as it would mean that there would be a lot less sexually frustrated and potentially violent men roaming the streets.

    Whatever, the main point is that what other people choose to do with their lives has got fuck all to do with angry red-faced woman or anyone else. They should just fuck off out of other’s lives.

      • Ah! I didn’t have time to watch the video, I just reacted to your summary. So she was opposed to them too, was she? Not entirely surprising, I suppose. Anything involving pleasure is fair game to that type.

        Mencken had it spot on:

        “Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.”

  2. It is a bit creepy, isn’t it. It looked like the male robot gave that gobby woman the finger at the end, or is that just me. I think the moral is never have a relationship with a Guardian woman – the endless earnest analysis and questioning is just too much.

  3. Interesting that a brothel in Barcelona has several sex robots available for clients. But it was forced to move to another part of town because the local whores got thoroughly pissed off at the decline in their trade!!

    On the basic assumption most clients who use the services of a whore simply want a shag and no conversation, these contraptions will undoubtedly fit the bill – and they’re washed and disinfected after each use, which is a lot more than can be said for the real thing.

    This is an article about when it first opened. £100 for an hour was the going rate, which represents very good value for money, against the same amount for a quickie with a drug addled hooker with a minder – and she’ll probably hit you for a further £80 for the room.

  4. On that basis, I suppose she would also like to ban vibrators? Don’t they objectify men? Or their penises, at any rate.

  5. I took a while to get around to watching it so I’m a bit late to the party. The robots seem a bit creepy now but given a few decades of development I can imagine them being totally lifelike. Angry woman didn’t really seem to have any kind of rational or coherent argument that I could follow. I think that her problem might be that her chances of getting laid ever again will become slimmer still.
