Only a fool would pay for pornography on the Internet. It’s like, you don’t pay for air (or, more accurately, oxygen), do you? So why pay for porn? But if porn is free all over the place, what’s going to happen to our nation’s adult entertainment industry? It employs more than a few people (that’s good), and helps maintain our image abroad (that’s also good). Two good thing! So what’s the industry going to do in a world where every kid can load up uTorrent or visit YouTube-like site? One word: robots.
David Levy is something of an artificial intelligence expert, and he believes that the adult entertainment industry may well turn to robots to save itself. He told The Guardian:
I’ll be surprised if it’s more than another three years or so before we see more advanced sex dolls with more electronics and electromechanics. There will be a huge amount of publicity when products like this hit the market. As soon as the media starts writing about ‘My fantastic weekend with a sex doll,’ it will be like the iPhone all over again, but the queues will be longer.
Which begs the question (yes, I know that’s grammatically incorrect, but when has that ever stopped us?): would you, you know, have sex with a robot like you just don’t care? (All the married men reading this just said to themselves, “I already do—it’s called my wife!) I say, why the hell not? Don’t we already have similar robots? Let’s take it up a notch, then. It’ll be like Ancient Rome, only with pleasure bots.
Nicholas, didn’t you learn anything from Futurama?
You win the completely unofficial “Nicholas’ favorite comment of the day” for today.
On the subject I say no – there’s something really weird and depraved when you have to turn to plastic or binary bits and bytes. But then again we really shouldn’t judge, and I admit I really wanted to use the term bits and bytes when relating to roboporn
Also I think we already have these around – it’s called a sex doll..why would anyone want it to move? Electricity + Moving Parts + Human appendages is a recipe for an embarrassing hospital ER visit.
This industry is interesting because they make tons of money off something that is rarely paid for. The music industry should figure it out!
Man, a whole article about sexy robots or robot sex or whatever and all I can think is “if you knew you were using ‘beg the question’ incorrectly, why did you use it?”
Do want!
Girlfriends and wifes are too much a hassle :P
They demand food and stuff.
And they take up all your oxygen, what’s up with that?
All I can picture is one of these robots malfunctioning on some poor fools junk. Lorraina bobbit all over again lmao
LOL.. you are right
Nice Blade Runner ref :)
I’m not entirely sure I would find that appealing. One the other hand, someone *might* be able to get a niche market for sex robot fetish people.
“…it will be like the iPhone all over again, but the queues will be longer.” HUH?
Yeah, there will be more folks lining up, but think about it. Phone calls can be 10, 20, 200 minutes long! The sexbot line would advance in, what, 3 minutes?
That line won’t be long because it will be moving so fast.
God I love the future.

Check out the movie WestWorld from Michael Crichton. He thought of this some time ago…Even the ancient Rome fantasy.
So you think while people still want their adult toys to be packaged discreetly so nothing gives it away and delivered to a PO box, they would be OK standing in line for this?
Hmmm.. maybe an oversized package delivered by that UPS hunk? Oh man! Would love to be that delivery person to see the look on people’s faces. Signature required? Oooh yeah! :)
Will I be able to order one that looks like Serena Williams? Is there a volume discount if I get Venus too?
Oh, the possibilities!
Dear All who is bored off their girl friends and wives ,
Please send them to me, I will be more than happy to please them while you are on those robots!
Cheers
Or…the lonely house wives and girlfriends can get together and please each other, a massive orgy, in which there would never be a need for a penis again.

I doubt sex dolls will turn around the adult industries profits anytime soon but i think that sex dolls will always be a hot product and there will always be websites like this http://www.sexdollssexdolls.com that sell them.
