Could Robots Be the Future of Love and Sex?
Fox News ^ | April 14, 2008 | Yvonne K. Fulbright

Posted on 04/15/2008 4:47:51 AM PDT by billorites

“Dream lover” has taken on a whole new meaning. By 2050, you could be falling for a humanoid.

Thanks to computer programming, robots will be almost indistinguishable from humans they will have the same muscles, emotions, voices and talents.

Forget that you’re not exactly from the same mold. Sexually speaking, these sexbots will have proven themselves superior to us.

“Love and sex with robots on a grand scale is inevitable,” according to David Levy, author of Sex with Robots: The Evolution of Human-Robot Relations.

In the age of technology, who can deny that people love their gadgets? Is it a huge leap in logic to think that we will lust after sexbots, artificial skin and all?

Can these amour-inducing androids actually turn us into raging sex maniacs?

An expert on artificial intelligence, Levy certainly thinks so.

“Love with robots will be as normal as love with other humans, while the number of sexual acts and lovemaking positions commonly practiced between humans will be extended, as robots teach us more than is in all of the world's published sex manuals combined,” he writes.

Apparently, these inanimate objects of desire will trump the rest of us when it comes to sexual techniques; they will far exceed human companions when it comes to sexual gratification. (Normally, that would be a really hot thought, but right now I can’t shake visions of The Terminator.)

Among the ways sexbots will show us up under the sheets:

You will have your very own personal sex tutor.

You can have sex whenever you want.

Your sex life will be full of variety and adventure, fueling your libido as never before.

You will be able to fulfill your every sexual fantasy.

You will never hear the words, “I have a headache.” In other words, you won’t be rejected.

“You can have sex whenever you want.”

For all the single fella’s out there - you don’t need a robot. Just don’t give your true love a ring or wedding cake or a marriage license.For some unknown reason they just kill a womans sex drive.

I won’t even go into how the cut that long beautiful hair off because it’s just to hot to wear long. And then there is the house coat and bedroom slippers all day long and the ......

Do the robots have to talk endlessly about their “feelings” and the “relationship”? Only if they’re programmed to? Kewl!
(ducking).

I never complain about long hair and the heat. I just put mine up in a ponytail.

My answer to machines: “Clone Mommy!”.

That has many practical and moral problems, but at least it is within the realm of current technology.

Adds a whole new dimension to the term "safe Sex".

"Maw, do something, this robot you got me won't leave me alone."

"...I won’t even go into how the cut that long beautiful hair off because it’s just to hot to wear long...

but all their girlfriends tell them it's "SO CUTE"

A guy marries a betite young long hair beauty who immediately packs on 50 pounds and gets a butch cut.

Then the husband wonders when he married a short,fat guy, and women wonder why there is so much divorce.

Probably right about the time Fox News hired a "sexpert."

I know that I, for one, in 2050 will likely be looking for a robot to clean my dentures, help me dress myself and remind me where I left things, not guide me step by step through the Kama Sutra.

I want a droid, but not for the perverted reason this author suggests. An R2 unit would be like an obedient pet who can fix your car. How cool would that be?
