The Age of Sex Robots is upon us. Numerous science fiction authors, with a degree of jittery anticipation, have predicted this development for years. Yet it has not seemed feasible until recently.
The New York Times just ran a substantial profile on the impending rise of virtual reality porn and sex robots, and stirrings of anxious excitement are palpable in other media outlets. A strange and terrible new world is dawning, but lets not cue up Also Sprach Zarathustra quite yet. Far from being a boon dispensed from on high, the impending sex robot revolution threatens to destroy our entire sense of reality.
Unfortunately, a dash of cute therapeutic language can make anything sound borderline acceptable, including sex robots. Sex robot manufacturer Matt McMullen told the Times, Based on our experiences with thousands of clients, people do use them [sex robots] for sex, but there is something more that exists. We focus on companionship There are people who are already lonely, and people who live their lives being alone. They work all day and come home to an empty house. This is just offering an alternative to those types of people. They dont have anyone else.
Before a sad violin starts playing for all the lonely peoplethe Eleanor Rigbys longing for the steady but sure companionship of a sex robotnote it is much more depressing to imagine McMullens version of his customers than to imagine a bunch of horny idiots who just want to have sex with a humanoid hunk of plastic and rubber.

you’ll have to ask Tyrell...
Thanks, that helps a lot. Now if only I could quit worrying about my wife. She has all these old photographs she keeps staring at and she has this creepy story from her childhood about this spider that built a web outside her window....
OK, what is THAT from?
Cherry 2000
it was just a movie

Young men haven’t gotten there, yet.
All the MGTOW are older men who blame everything on the women that they’ve ‘experienced’.
(They are really blaming the current laws, through which some have definitely gotten a bad deal; but blaming women - especially American women - seems to be the easiest target for their most virulent criticism.)
Blade Runner 2049 which, sadly, is no longer in the theaters.
An excellent film to be enjoyed at the cinema.
Oh, OK... didn’t know you knew. :-P
Forgot you kids had a routine.
but at least she can play the piano
sex robots will be part of the future reality just as they will be in areas other than sex.
That actress is stunningly beautiful. I wish I could find one like her. :-(
damn, hot Hot HOT
My husband actually DOES clean the bathrooms now and then; but I’d like a robot to spell him.
(And I’m still waiting for my Jetson Flying Car, too..)
Grim truths.
Must find a way to smile and carry on!
But do they ever get headaches?
You’re married to Rachel?
Don’t make her mad.
She’s a pretty good shot.
Just ask Leon, after he gets his head together.
Ian Anderson strikes again!
Neil Young. Dagnab this memory...
Do we inhabit some micro-space
And interface through wires.
Dance on a printed circuit board
Throw the software to the fires.
My memory’s slim - so volatile
But I’m learning.
Plug yourself in. stay for awhile.
Un-discerning.
And on dusty terminals
Finger me lightly do.
And qwerty is the name of love
Printed on the v.d.u.
Cut yourself free. we’re all alone
Communicating.
Don’t bother me with arithmetic -
I’m waiting.
User-friendly.
That’s what I am to you.
I have to break out of here.
Trapped in my hardware cell.
And come to you as you sleep tonight,
Take you back into my hell.
Binary joys and digital sighs
So appealing.
I’m one of the boys and it’s only
Your mind that I’m stealing.
User-friendly.
That’s all I am to you.
