to replace the act of manual masterbation, yeah, I would, but otherwise not, I tend to find a lot of pretty things among the emotional bagage I see.
Guys are sticking their dicks into fleshlights, women use vibrators. A sexbot is just the logical progression of technology that already exists. I'm sure if people enjoy the stick or the hole they'll be dying to have their own personal life sized sex toy.
I'm not sure it would work with me. See, I'd work my mojo to counter their mojo. We'd get cross-mojinations and their heads would start to explode.
Wow, five pages into a subject about sex-bots and nobody's referenced this yet. Well, defeating evil sex-bots is the number one reason to have The Divinyls on a playlist.
Definitely, that or VR for similar purposes are pretty much the height of dreams for technological developments.
Be great if you could customize them to look the way you wanted too >.>

Of course I would.
I can't imagine anyone on this site would expect otherwise.
Also, screw that SO leaving me thing. My SO would join in. That sort of awesomeness is why I'm with my SO.

I'm counting down the days until I can.
Seriously, you can customise robots in ways you can't even DREAM of with a human lover. Any kind of strange physical fetish you might have, you'd be able to customise a robot to fill it. A furry, an Asari, a succubus, a futanari, as long as we can craft a realistic-looking version of it, you'd be able to do it without any complications (apart from getting the bat wings to move realistically).
The possibilities are endless.

Under those specific circumstances, no.
I don't go for meaningless sex.
Ask again when the android is a sentient being and not just a hunk of advanced alloys.

Ha!
Firstly, these are the Escapist forums, Katatori-kun, not Wikipedia. This is not a gathering of peer-reviewed scientists prepping for a debate, but gamers having a casual (oh so very casual) chat. Anyone who would use a quote from here as a magna veritas without doing their own follow-up research to confirm its veracity is a fool. That said, go do your own.
Secondly, Katatori-kun, your reputation precedes you. I don't trust that you are interested in facts or reputable sources except to dismiss them for your own selfish reasons (I assume to appeal to your own desire of authority or intelligence). You've already disincentivized me to provide you any material to fuel your fetish.
That said, the internet is a big place, and there's Google. If you are actually interested in the olfactory components of human attraction, I am certain you can find plenty of material. If you really thing I'm wrong, you can cite evidence to me.
Of course, I'm so invested in this conversation I'd probably just concede.
Anyway, happy hunting.

To be fair, it's just a side effect of the slut/stud double standard. Society views a man owning a fleshlight or something like that as possibly weird or kind of creepy, while there's less stigma associated with a woman owning a vibe/bullet (maybe more with a dildo.) Though part of that could stem from the fact that the latter came from the medical community (reducing "hysteria," lawl.)cathou said:
OT: Yeah I guess I would, but it'd have to be on one side or the other of the Uncanny Valley.
Also, maybe I just missed it, but I'm surprised no one posted this yet:

It's an interesting take. Part of the elation of love is that joy that someone else is into you, and so part of the development of a sexbot would be making one that allows its user to forget that it is a sexbot (or that it's programmed to desire you back). In order for that to work, we may have to make sexbots that have enough autonomy that they need to be courted, not to convince them to want you, but to convince you that their desire for you is earned and genuine.Heronblade said:
That said, rather few contemporary sexbots are merely warm holes to stick it in. In fact, we are so well equipped for autosexuality (masturbation) that sexual stimulation is seldom the act that needs to be facilitated. Rather it is meaningful[footnote]This is a romantic use of the word meaningful in that it can mean something different for each person. Does progeny make a relationship meaningful? The test of time? That both partners entered into it in good faith? There is no consistent, correct answer, and since the meaning of a relationship can differ depending on the partner, it is a weak basis on which we assess relationships, and yet it remains the basis on which we assess relationships.[/footnote] companionship that we miss.
It is very possible that once we can effectively simulate the element of human interaction that tells us we belong (and without which we feel single and lonely) we won't bother incorporating the warm hole. Especially so when we consider how hung up on sex much of western civilization remains.

You apparently don't know what a straw-man argument is, Katatori-kun. You didn't make an argument at all other than Citation needed. I just implied (if I didn't express): It's not worth my time and effort to give you proper citations; If you really cared you'd look them up on your own; Otherwise, feel free to dismiss to yourself anything and everything I post.Katatori-kun said:
But in the meantime I have to actually allege you made an argument (i.e. constructed a straw man to attack) before I have made a straw-man argument. To make such a presumption would be giving you too much credit.
PLEASE. Please put me on your ignore list. You have singled me out arbitrarily before, and if you should ever do it again it will be too soon.
I'm happy to have discussions, Katatori-kun. But, I'm not interested in having discussions with you, given all you have to offer is "I doubt it." If that is what you bring to any given discussion, my existence would be improved by your silence.
So again, Katatori-kun. I encourage you to put me on your ignore list. My regard of your alleged good faith here has long ago been exhausted.
