and just about any other robot movie you can think of.
This is actually pretty interesting to me. The porn industry sort of reminds me of the gaming industry, in that it pushes technology further along than it would be without them. The only reason we have bomb ass computers easily available to the public is because there is a huge demand for them through gaming.
$7,000 - $9,000 for a girlfriend seems pretty steep to me.... BUT SHE CAN TALK ABOUT SOCCER.
Poll: Would you ever buy a SEXBOT (Vote): Chea (Vote): NUUUU
Bonus:
This was the opening line of the same article from Fox News
Nerds and geeks can breathe a sigh of relief: The world's first life-size robotic girlfriend is finally here.
by nauj_solrac January 11, 2010 4:15 PM PST Wow!, the doll looks creepy not to mention it's creator. Apparently, he created this doll in resemblance of a woman he knew who died in the 9/11 attacks. I'm sure that woman is rolling in her grave not to mention probably disgusted.
mmmm what a necro treat think of a dead woman while fucking a huge rubber doll. Will probly wait till it shows up on ebay.
I think if they make robots more human-like there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. This is the world we live in. People like simulations. Nothing wrong with a simulated gf. It's about as creepy as playing those J-hentai games. (I don't play any of those, I'm just saying they been out a long time and you haven't seen the end of civilization occur.)
Sometimes, people are lonely or can't get a gf or for whatever reason don't have a relationship. There's nothing wrong with using technology to help them fill the void in their lives.
Humans have always used tools to make up for their shortcomings. We don't have sharp teeth so we made daggers out of stones. We don't have a perfect memory, so we invented paper and writing.
The robo-gf is just a tool for people who can't get a gf for whatever reason.
this is dangerous. Putting these robots in the hands of geeks will ultimately lead to them being overclocked, hacked/cracked and turned into killing machines. On a side note: now i know what to ask for this xmas :p

Yea... right.
You say that know because it legitimately looks like a piece of shit. You start getting very life like robots of hot celebrities or just any type of female you want and it will be popular everywhere. Depravity knows no bounds bro.
This is going to deprive tens of thousands of prostitutes who barely scrape by of a living, thus probably causing the deaths of more than that. Just pay for sex like a normal horny basment dweller.
I can imagine the protesting T.V. ad's now: Don't deprive our working ladies of their livelihood, buy organic vagina today!

I have to agree if they seriously could make one that was hot like the celebrities and shit I could definitely see it selling very very good.

that's actually pretty cheap as far as girlfriends go
Do you guys buy diamonds for all of your girlfriends? I guess if I went out for dinner with her once a week for three years, and paid for each one, it might get up there.

What the fuck? People with no self respect and dignity can breathe a sigh of relief. Even if it looked less like a barbie that was left too close to the kitchen stove, it's an absurd idea. I mean, that's like pillow talk with your hand after masturbating.
That thing is hideous, and rather than being a 'robot girlfriend', it looks more like a realdoll with a tape recorder in it that randomly says "SOCCER MAKES ME HOT!"
Give it another 40-50 years or so and I'm sure Japan will be rolling out robot girlfriends that actually look and act somewhat lifelike.
Although the uncanny valley will probably never go away, I know I'd be pretty creeped out.
I don't see this as being so much different from a fleshlight or dildo or dare I say it, your hand... We already have sex with non-human objects so why get fussy about this?
I wasn't in the best mood to begin with, after seeing this I visited the article on FOX and left a comment:
"Nerds and geeks can breathe a sigh of relief"
First of all, what does that even mean? That nerds and geeks finally have a girl nerdy enough to turn them on, or that nerds and geeks can't get a real girl?
What an ignorant thing to say, even if it isn't taken as my assumed meaning. FOX as never ceased to present itself is childish and misinformed.
If a male sex robot comes off the factory lines next are you going to write, "Now gays and homosexuals can breathe a sigh of relief?" Of course not, because that's offensive. So is this.
I think I speak on behalf of a lot of nerds and geeks when I present you, FOX, with a giant "Fuck you!"
Consider yourself lucky nerds and geeks don't feel the need to unite and take legal action against rude and offensive people and companies.
Publishing something so disgraceful is astonishing. Whoever wrote this is a prick. Not to mention she looks like a monkey. ----
I really don't care if people want to use a sex doll, they're easy to find in other places, I just did not like that opening line from fox -.-
Obviously this thing isnt going to be a household item, but neither were the first computers. As robots become more and more advanced and efficient, they will become as common as the computer your using right now. And with the advances will become more and more realistic sex robots, until it will be almost a substitute for the real thing.
I fear that it will be bad for human society. Half of all social interaction among people our age is in someway related to getting laid so it will be interesting to see how things go.

Dude tbh I think complete VR + sexbot would be amazing.
It would be a way more fun nightly ritual then google.com/images "safety off" "Hot bitches" ....

These types of things always make me wonder why some people are so removed from social circumstances that they can't get a normal girl to go out with them. I'd rather be a bachelor than pretend to have a real relationship with a motorized sex doll
Would be cool if it worked out... unfortunaly she's just ugly, I highly doubt the AI is all that great, her emotions and romance etc. would be some much worse than a real gf, and having sex with a non-warm blooded non-living being that barely looks human is just wrong.

Well if you compare this robot to a human being then the choice is easy. But perhaps in the very future robots will be so advanced that they won't be able to be distinguished from the human population at all. Just imagine if theres a robot version of you that exists, except it has no imperfections at all, its flawless. For example, I wish I were a taller. Well what if theres a robot version of me that is not only taller, but stronger, smarter, etc. If this is the case, then why the fuck would you want to be yourself? Why would you want to be with someone when you know theres a better version of him or her out there? I think the strive for perfection and technology go hand and hand. Nobody here uses Windows 98 anymore right?

There are people out of high school that actually live with their girlfriends, the costs racks up quickly I assure you.

That thing just looks ridiculous.
You're doing a very bad job at hiding your "powerlevel." Also note that this robot ugly thing has something that your "waifu" does not... it actually exists.
Unveiled at the Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas over the weekend, Roxxxy was developed by New Jersey-based True Companion and engineer Douglas Hines, and she's way more than a blow-job doll. She's basically an anatomically correct bot engineered to interact with users by responding to simple conversation through an internal speaker. All responses, though, are prerecorded.
