Are we making ourselves obsolete..?

World's first sex robot revealed
Realistic ... Roxxxy with creator Douglas Hines



Published: Today

THE world's first "sexbot" — a life-sized rubber doll named Roxxxy who can chat about football — has been unveiled.
The dark-haired, lingerie-clad robot has inbuilt artificial intelligence — meaning she can talk footie and cars with her owner.

Roxxxy also boasts impressive, flesh-like, synthetic skin.

The revolutionary invention — set to take the sex toy industry by storm — also comes with FIVE different "personalities".


Adventurous

Owners can customise Roxxxy's features and change her race, hair colour and breast size.

The anatomically correct robot has a fake skeleton, letting her move like a REAL woman.



Intelligent ... Roxxxy can talkShe also utters different phrases depending on how she is touched.

Prospective owners can pick from the five different "personalities" depending on their individual preference.

There is Wild Wendy - who is outgoing and adventurous, Frigid Farah - who is reserved and shy, Mature Martha and S&M Susan - available for more adventurous types.

The doll costs between US$7,000 (£4,350) to US$9,000 (£5,993), and was unveiled at the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas at the weekend.

Douglas Hines, the robot's football loving inventor, said the real aim was to make the doll someone the owner can talk to and relate to.

Mr Hines said: "She can't vacuum, she can't cook but she can do almost anything else if you know what I mean.

"She's a companion. She has a personality. She hears you. She listens to you. She speaks. She feels your touch. She goes to sleep. We are trying to replicate a personality of a person."

Mr Hines, from TrueCompanion, said the doll could carry out simple conversations and was designed to "know exactly what you like".

He said: "Sex only goes so far, then you want to be able to talk to the person.

"She knows exactly what you like. If you like Porsches, she likes Porsches. If you like soccer, she likes soccer."

The sex robot is available in Europe and the United States and will eventually be sold all over the world.

A male version of the doll, dubbed Rocky, is also planned.

I don't think this dehumanizes women. A real woman is still a real woman. This is a sex robot, created and used for a specific purpose.

dildoes don't dehumanize men.
Men do that all by themselves hmph!

PS note that sex toys for women do NOT talk....men, take a hint from a dildo!

You can’t even compare the two. lol

You’re equating a tool that has very little if anything to do with a man to a robot girlfriend programmed to have the looks and personality of your choice.

Not to mention, out of all things women look for in a long-term partner, sex is only one factor. For me it doesn’t even make the top 10. Maybe not the top 20.

they really are basically the same thing. They just illustrate some of the differences between men & women's desires & needs.

But neither is a substitute for an actual relationship, just something to get the job done.

I have to say I'd never have a sex mannequin, though, whether it works or not. lol Just have to draw the line somewhere!

I think the "talking about football" feature is not why people might buy this thing.

It's a sex toy.
