Darth Avlectus Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 That's right I said SEXARIOD. We have reached a new age. This concept was previously only that of fantasy and joking about bizarre individuals. Apparently the bizarre has now become reality: http://www.news.com.au/technology/worlds-first-life-size-robotic-girlfriend/story-e6frfro0-1225817805297 [EDIT: Try now!] I'd be puking if it weren't so funny. The sheer ridiculousness. I mean, really? So ok. If there is anything I can say to the younger members of this forum about this...I encourage you all to go out and find REAL people when you come of that age and at least give them a chance so that you may at least spend your money on more...ehh, practical things. Are we really at such an age now that we are making ridiculously expensive pieces of technology solely for "erotic uses"? Unfortunately, we know too well what the author of the article "means" by doing lots of "other" stuff. Survey says Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) QUADRUPLE FACEPALM!
True_Avery Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 I'll take a body pillow over that hideous monstrosity. **** that thing is creepy looking.
Drunkside Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Look at the source of inspiration... I think his dead friend would be so proud of him right now.
Liverandbacon Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Look at the source of inspiration... I think his dead friend would be so proud of him right now. Ugh, one's only legacy being a sex robot personality module... just ugh.

Basically, this is sadly pathetic, but not really unexpected.
Bob Lion54 Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 It's like Teddy Ruxpin for adults. OOO! I hope it comes with a read-along book or educational video!
Alkonium Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 IF you're going to build a sex robot, make it look good. But you still shouldn't do it. And GTA, sexaroid sounds like a mix between an aphrodisiac and steroids.
Salzella Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 i see it more as a way of practising for the real thing than an actual replacement... besides, what do we use tech for if not pleasure? inevitable as far as i'm concerned
JediAthos Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 I want to offer a response here...but I just can't.
Gurges-Ahter Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Reminiscent of the lovebot on Serenity. I'm (happily) married with 2 kids and I still want one.
Totenkopf Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Reminiscent of the lovebot on Serenity. However, if lovebots looked that real, they'd probably be a lot more popular.
Ztalker Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Uncanny Valley has never looked so sexy. Strip this man of his user title! Seriously. No. Man - Dolls. Doesnt work. Period. Bah.
Lord of Hunger Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Wow, so are we men so insecure with our sexuality that we can't do what our ancestors did for the whole of our history and court real women? I swear to God, I just find this insulting and I'm a guy here.
Gurges-Ahter Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Wow, so are we men so insecure with our sexuality that we can't do what our ancestors did for the whole of our history and court real women? Insecure, or just lazy? I mean, I'd never give up my "real" woman (I'm married), but the draw for me to something like this has more to do with the fact that "real" women are often a lot of work and not worth the trouble. Obviously I don't fully buy into that because I chose to get married (and have 2 kids), but I can see the argument for it. I suppose others could fall into the insecure category as well, but I think the majority would choose this route for the ease of it.
Q Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 ^Uh, ew. "Danger! Danger, Will Robinson!" God, I hope that thing's, er, orifices can be hosed out without having to worry about shorting out the electronics. Otherwise that thing would quickly become an object of distaste.

God, I hope that thing's, er, orifices can be hosed out without having to worry about shorting out the electronics. Otherwise that thing would quickly become an object of distaste. : phone rings : Me: Hello? Friend: Hey Chris, what's up? Me: Oh nothing, just hosing out my sexaroid's orifices. I hope this conversation happens one day.
ForeverNight Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 /me facepalms That's the only reaction that I can have..... How much you wanna bet in the future this company is going to be getting in trouble with the ACLU or something for impinging on the rights of Robots? I'll start the pool.
Alkonium Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Has anyone else considered the possibility of malfunctions, leading to something like this?
Darth Avlectus Posted March 12, 2010 Author Posted March 12, 2010 @ Alk: Just like fut-o-rama episodes I used to watch. BTW, that pic reminds me eerily of Talho from Eureka Seven. EDIT: Apparently the other site is a real douche about embedding to forums or other web pages.
Mav Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 lol you need to work on making sure your links work XD
Totenkopf Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 Has anyone else considered the possibility of malfunctions, leading to something like this? Talk about a real ballbuster.
