...Robot hooker's-what's the world coming to

[knight steel]

Dear escapist's i joke with you not,Robot hooker's are here. As i was on the internet looking for interesting new's i found this-
"A European company called First Androids has introduced "Andy", a new hi-tech android sex doll for men. This doll comes equipped with a G spot, a heavy breathing feature, and is flexible enough to adjust into almost any sex position you can dream up.

Surprisingly, not too many people are as creeped out by the idea of making love to a robot as we thought - the company has apparently received four million orders for the doll, which retails at about $4,000 a piece.".

The link to the site i found this on is here:http://indipepal.com/sex_love/article/music/0/Robot-Hookers-for-Men

My question's to you are,Do you find this creepy,do you belive that this article is true and were do you think this will go.Discuss and enjoy.

Four Million orders at 4K a pop? Holy crap that company is going to be rich.

EDIT: Just saw some pictures. It looks like an ugly mannequin.

 

[iJosh]

Holy crap. Having sex with robots. What is this world coming to ...

This is indeed very creeper and weird.

 

[Booze Zombie]

Well, no strings attached other than the price... well, I hope it works for whoever buys it, but it doesn't sound like my thing.

 

[Sonicron]

One step closer to Futurama...

 

[Macgyvercas]

Well, there goes the human race. Yahtzee did say that realistic virtual sex would wipe out the human race within one generation

 

[Mana Fiend]

I'm sorry, but they called it Andy? Surely, surely you'd give it a female name?

 

[Superior Mind]

I wonder if this is a harbinger of humanity's doom?

I'd post the Futurama clip "Don't Date Robots" but of course Fox is an arse when it comes to their stuff on YouTube.

Andy can be a female name.

 

[InsertWittyName]

Boom, the human race is gone.

Since the article doesn't provide any sources [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.128113], it's time to investigate.

First lets look up the manufacturing company, called First Androids. A quick search on Google brings up MicroDoll.net [http://www.first-androids.de]. That site doesn't contain any more information apart from this creepy photo though:

[HEADING=3]Beware, it's going downhill from here. Seriously.[/HEADING]

But let's focus on Andy here. Searching the the First Androids site for information, there's a site dedicated to Andy 2 [http://www.first-androids.de/andy-oldweb/indexe.htm]. Again, this doesn't look too high tech.

Conclusion: this looks like a random bit of information found by a bad journalist looking hard for something to write about. As to my advise for people looking for this kind of entertainment: the RealDoll is still the way to go. I don't think it comes with a G spot though.

never under estimate the male desire to stick their penis into anything from vaccum cleaners to park benches

Don't worry, they also have a male model. For instance NAX [http://www.first-androids.de/nax.htm][footnote]This link contains mature content. Use at viewer's discretion.[/footnote] who comes in two versions: a heterosexual and a homosexual model.

Andy's a sexless name, it works both ways. It's just more commonly used as a male name in the US.

Oh. I've never heard of a female Andy before, guess that just threw me. Cheers
Still, would have thought you might go with Angela or Amy or something (just picking from the A's here)...

 

[Corven]

To each his own I guess, but is that the actual robot in the picture in that article because if it is that's just creepy.

 

[Mirroga]

Truly Yahtzee saying that Virtual Sex will give extinction towards mankind is partially correct, but they're starting already in the early stages.

 

[GuerrillaClock]

So, Blade Runner really was a vision of the future after all...

 

[paragon1]

I can't wait until they're downloadable! I want my Lucy Liu-bot!

DON"T DATE ROBOTS!!
