My question to the guys (and gals) of the Escapist, in this scenario, would you partake in purchasing or at the very least utilizing these robots, or would you always just stick to sexual intercourse with a real human being?
How interactive would it be? Could it talk/pretend to be a standard person? ( I wont be so gosh as to say a REAL person

)
I am leaning toward yes but if their interactions/movments are too uncanny valley I would say no.
The robot could talk, would sound like a real person, but it would only really be able to do dirty talk. Trying to talk about normal things would not really register with the android, unless said thing could be taken as sexual inneundo. Basically, if you wanted some dirty talk, the robot could do that, but it wouldn't be able to show empathy or emotion for any problems you may be going through (although it would offer sex to try to cheer you up/calm you down/etc.)

I really can't answer that right now. Mainly because I'd have to see the robot in person and see what kind of vibe I get. If it creeps me out. No. If it doesn't, maybe.
Some factors:
Is the robot good at sex? If the robot is not a good active partner at sex, then I'm not super interested.
Can the robot have both male and female genitalia? That seems fun.
Can the robot be like some dildos where they feel realistic, but don't necessarily look like an actual penis? Something that is fun to touch but doesn't try to look exactly like a real human. I think I'd feel better with that. Definitely not with a robot that looks like a celebrity...that would creep me out.
Is the robot functional in other ways? If the robot only does sex, then I probably wouldn't. That would seem like a waste of money and a bit creepy. If the robot were also able to cook food, clean my apartment, function as my calendar, play music, be a security system, etc. Basically if it were like my computer as well. If I could justify the cost because it practical and function for other reasons. Then I'd probably buy one. Would I have sex with it? I don't know. I think I'd have to see how it all felt to me.
Because this is hypothetical, you can change it as you please, but this is what I would say.
1. The robot is extremely experienced at sex due to analyzing tons of porn. It could do basically any trick you wanted it to.
2. The robots would be customizable, so you could order a model with both genitalia. It would most likely be anatomically incorrect, unless the genitals were morphable. You go with whatever one you'd prefer.
3. The selling point of these sex robots would be their realistic appearance. Genitals would be realistic.
4. The robots are only good for sex. They do not have the capability for doing other tasks.
