| Robot lovers - yes or no?
Posted: 10/28/2009 8:53:22 AM | The idea of getting pleasure from a robot has been explored in science fiction enough times.
The idea has been explored many times. It's been done in The Twilight Zone, The original Star Trek, movies like "Westworld" and "The Stepford Wives".
The common denominator has always been the eliminating of negative characteristics prevalent to humans, while retaining the positive characteristics and attributes.
And this differs how(?) from having "preferences"?...
Imagine just how fast you would get tired and bored of the perfect person.
Very telling...
Take away any reason to b1tch about something, and you'd get bored.
I don't know about anyone else, but I've know some women who's appeal could benefit tremendously from a good frontal lobotomy....
No I would not want a robot lover.
Even if he could go all night, do whatever you wished, and always responded with "Yes, Dear"? | |

Posted: 10/28/2009 9:24:15 AM | There is some fascinating legitimate research being done now that is going about proving that the soul is merely neurons firing, the sooner this fact is accepted then the sooner we will realize that the soul IS the brain, and it dies when the brain dies. Then we can really begin exploring and understanding free will.
I have a different take than this. To me the soul is absence itself, the "freedom of space" to use a phrase, for all kinds of activities to take place, time, matter, motion, thought, etc... Without this freedom of space, nothing would be possible. As such, the soul has everything to do with free will, at least as it pertains to us humans. It also gathers our consciousness into its nothingness at our death.
I wholeheartedly agree with you, however, that everything is laced within existence, within our brains. The potential within it is mind blowing to me. The brain is the substance of existence itself in such a peculiarly sophisticated and sensitive form. When it found that nothingness, that void, the existential dilemma began, and so our equally peculiar dual nature.
What's really of most interest to me though is the place where the self and soul intersect. But that's just me. :) | |

Anyone care to go back to Greek mythology? In the Iliad, Hepahestus created female servents of metal. In Kalevala, Ilmarinen created an artificial wife. Probably the most famous is Ovid's Pygmalion (who sculpts a female statue that is so beautiful that he falls in love with it, and after praying to Venus, the goddess takes pity on him and converts the statue into a real woman with whom he has children).
The earliest example in film is the Maria impersonator in Fritz Lang's "Metropolis".
Technosexual imaginings have been around a very long time. | |

This is an awesome silent movie!
Let’s not forget animation. How about Hedonismbot from “Futurama”?
Most of us don't think twice about the fact that our partners have been with other people before us but how many of us would actually go out and buy "used" sex toys, at say, a garage sale? What will happen with used sex bots?
Do you discard your automobile when it cracks a head? Replacement parts, my friend, replacement parts! Go MOPAR!  | |

I once made the comment "Driving my 70 challenger is better than sex !"
My co-worker looked at me in bewilderment and stated: Oh no Rick , You're doing something wrong !!
puts a whole new meaning on the term taking your bot for a ride if the two are combined into one unit...lol
guys have been condemned for loving their cars for so long I can just see the headlines now. ummmm just watch out for the fan blades | |

LOL. Sorry, I was thinking about the "pleasure 'bot" when I read this post.
It was a nasty visual.... | |

Could I really get a robot to grow me the thick bush I demand?
hair plugs come to mind.
Guess it would take all the joy out of ownership for you eh? | |

Ever heard of "merkin"? I think growing pubic hair would be easy-peasy for a top-notch droid. Add water and stir..
I was thinking though. If you add an unpredictibility factor, your droid could leave you or abuse you. Or could even this be controlled? | |

Posted: 10/28/2009 3:46:52 PM | I think I will put my order in for a Robot/droid.
He can go out and earn a living that pays six figures plus and deposit his paycheque in my account.
He can mow the lawn, trim the tree/shrubs, fertilize, garden and wash the drive-way after he comes home from work.
He can do a tune-up on my car... change the oil and liquids in my car etc. when it needs it. Also, do a detail on the interior.
He can take the garbage out, do the dishes, sweep the floor and do laundry. Dust on a regular basis. Do windows when they need to be done.
Cook and grocery shop whenever I would like him to.
This leaves me time and energy to spend with my S/O. He can have his own robot, too.
Imagine, with all of the money worries gone, the keeping up a house worries gone and the other mundane time-tacking chores all taken care of, I can have the greatest fun with my S/O in bed. Isn't that what the topic is? Yes or No? Nope, I will take my man as he is. He really is perfect for me....the amazing man. | |

It wouldn't be an SO, but a pretty good slave I'd program to be my maid and terminator chicky...
Well, I always thought it was a silly concept... but after seeing Summer Glau as a female Terminator in the Sarah Connor chronicles... (Damn you FOX for cancelling it! - Damn you....) I'd seriously consider it... | |

Imagine we live in a time where you could design your perfect mate - from personal quirks (maybe she's got an adorable giggle or his eyes wrinkle when he smiles) to facial features, body type - everything down to the last detail. Of course, this also includes personality, sexuality, interests, hobbies - the perfect partner.
Downside: he/she is a robot - an amazingly lifelike robot, but still at heart - well, she/he has no heart. You get my drift.
A. Would you do it? Would you take a robot SO?
OH HELL NO.
That would just take away the magic-and the challenge.

Posted: 10/28/2009 4:17:27 PM | Given the fake boob/facelift/multi-layered makeup/perfume/coiffed hair/polished nails/extended eyelash/lyposuction/skin cream gal of today, might an android actually be less artificial? And if a female android is filled with artificial intelligence, I'm not seeing the difference.
(Just kidding, ladies. Love ya all to death. Well, most of you anyway.) | |

Screw the droid, let's just think about the concept of female + AI for a minute... You may have come across the equivalent of Viagra here! | |

Aaah but see you dont love your robot. You'll only *think* you do.
You only "love" what the robot is giving you
Its purely selfishly driven ie. what I want and what makes ME happy.
You mean, like,
He'll email me, he'll pursue me, he'll call me, he'll ask me out, open doors for me, pull out chairs for me, buy me dinner, buy me flowers, he'll wait for me to have sex, he'll commit to me, he'll lift heavy stuff for me, protect me, provide for me, buy me flowers, marry me, never leave me?
Kinda like that? 
I'd have to say no... I think having a partner that was completely subservient would be boring...
Boring, huh?
Ya, well, being a doormat doesn't sound like so much fun either...
OH HELL NO.
That would just take away the magic-and the challenge.
I get it. "The magic" is a euphemism for "conflict".
Without it, it would be boring, huh?
I was thinking though. If you add an unpredictibility factor, your droid could leave you or abuse you. Or could even this be controlled?
You mean, program it to be more like a man?
Probably the most famous is Ovid's Pygmalion (who sculpts a female statue that is so beautiful that he falls in love with it, and after praying to Venus, the goddess takes pity on him and converts the statue into a real woman with whom he has children).
That's virtually possible right now.
With the current science, and if the laws would allow it, we could probably be cloning Megan Fox right at this moment.
What was the question again?
Searching for happiness online, vs other alternatives?.....
Let me think about it....
Ok, I'm done.
I'm open to other options...

Posted: 10/28/2009 5:14:29 PM | Just wondering - would a blonde female sexbot be dumber than other female sexbots?
Verity - I think you need to call Atari. It seems your programming needs an update.
Instead of 'droids, perhaps the more realistic answer is nano-sexbots running around inside poking around and prodding just the right nerves in just the right order. Might get a little embarrassing, though, if they got out of control and you just started having random orgasms walking down the street, at work, during parent/teacher interviews.
Then again, I'm sure that were such things available, there would be a steady rush of people to have them installed. Everywhere you went, there'd be people going off in the middle of whatever they're doing.
I would hate to be a major league batter when some fireballer's bots kick into action just as he releases the ball. I'm thinking that we'd better invent self-driving cars before we develop nano-sexbots. | |

See, verity, you know what it's about. Now if Atari (haha..DBB) can do a few adjustments on you, you'd be the perfect robot. You'd be in demand like Elmo was a few years ago. People waited months to have him. Women would wait months for you. Now...do robots have egos? | |

Say wha?... Men do that...? oh oh ... we're talking fantasy riiiiiiiight
Do YOU do all those things verity?
You could be my template of animatronic ManBot lurve baby
If you add mowing lawns into the mix that is...
Megan Fox eh? how about Manu Feildel?
Id give up my kitchen for him anyday... perfect partner or not...

Had I meant "conflict", I would have SAID 'conflict'.
I meant "magic' as in seeing that chemistry which is real love, developing and growing, and the challenge of nurturing that growth and development. There might BE some conflict here or there, and the challenge would be USING that conflict to strengthen the relationship.
He'll email me, he'll pursue me, he'll call me, he'll ask me out, open doors for me, pull out chairs for me, buy me dinner, buy me flowers, he'll wait for me to have sex, he'll commit to me, he'll lift heavy stuff for me, protect me, provide for me, buy me flowers, marry me, never leave me?
Do you really think women are just all about securing a servant? Do most men really think this?
I'm very much OPEN to the idea of finding a 2nd love of my life, but I damn sure ain't holding my breath for it. Of course, I'm equally at fault for having standards about getting closely involved with a man unless there is mutual trust, respect and LOVE.
I can provide for myself,protect myself, and I don't WANT to get married or live with somebody. Some of the stuff mentioned is just plain oldfashioned MANNERS, nice but not a deal maker or breaker. Lift heavy stuff? HELP might be nice, but I believe in working TOGETHER on things.
Please understand, I don't see men's damage as entirely their fault. I place a lot of blame on entitlement princess b*tches who've broken their hearts and spirits. But I'm looking for a lover and companion who is already reasonably well adjusted/re adjusted. I'm not looking for a humpty dumpty man who needs put back together. If that means I get to live solo the rest of my life, that is certainly a more appetizing prospect than having a relationship with a guy who is forever ready to bolt because he's terrified that his weiner and/or his wallet are in danger.
No, the last thing I want is a male slave or doormat. I want a man with enough backbone to BE a good man, not some whinyass jerk looking for women to take out his bitterness and resentment on. I refuse to believe that they don't exist,or even that they are all that scarce.
Robot lover?
No thanks.

I think she was malfunctioning quite a bit... I tried to replace her hard drive, but she wasn't willing to take a floppy in replacement | |
