The robotic models being developed will be able to cuddle.
This is an interesting but not necessarily correct statement. consider:
What do men's magazines show? women.
What do women's magazines show? women.
It is part of human nature that women's bodies and movements are watched and admired. [before anyone says anything silly, this does not mean there is any latent lesbianism in women. so can that thought before you think it].

-Sleeping with their mates best friend;
-Being greedy wastrel shrews;

* The all-enveloping tactile environment is now widely available and fully convincing. Its resolution equals or exceeds that of human touch and can simulate (and stimulate) all of the facets of the tactile sense, including the sensing of pressure, temperature, textures, and moistness.

These technologies are popular for medical examinations, as well as sensual and sexual interactions with other human partners or simulated partners. In fact, it is often the preferred mode of interaction, even when a human partner is nearby, due to its ability to enhance both experience and safety.
