OK, the other threads looked boring so time for something completely different. If such a thing were to exist, would you be so inclined as to acquire yourself a robotic boyfriend/girlfriend, assuming that the superficial physiological differences were negligible?

er...no.

I have my eye on you, odd boy.

I noticed. It was starting to decompose so I put it in the freezer.

As a fun, new sex toy...sure. As something I'd pass off as human and spend time with...no.

DON'T DATE ROBOTS!!!!


You've got metal fever, boy!

I suppose an important issue raised by this debate is whether a robot can be considered truly intelligent.

Metal robots? Are we living in the twentieth century?

You may have been watching a little too much Futurama lately - DON'T DATE ROBOTS! :p

Stupid mask. Crumbs everywhere! :mad:

A robot girlfriend would be better than no girlfriend.

Evidently I have not been watching enough Futurama since I don't recognise that reference.

No it isn't. We aren't even debating if all the people we've dated can be considered intelligent. We're just talking about having a robot girl/boyfriend/sextoy. Intelligence is somewhat moot. Can I get one with a detachable penis?

robot sex toys sound fun. maybe id buy two...:p

Wouldn't all the exposed metal make it a bit too cold to be a sex toy?

Can I get one with a detachable penis?

Why would you need the rest of it if all you want is the dildo part? I know all I'd want would be the dildo part.

It depends whether you consider "being a person" to be a requirement for "being a boy/girlfriend". Besides, I only said "raised"... and it has been raised now, because I just raised it in that quote you quoted! Oh yeah.

How much would they cost? They would probably be damn expensive.

It's interesting to see that people are assuming that by making this thread I am advocating having a robot boy/girlfriend. Actually, I voted the joke option. :p

Something you can afford comfortably.

Ray Kurzwiel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Kurzwiel) wrote about that in one of his books about the singularity. I think it's creepy.

Not as a girlfriend, but as a sex toy? Sure.

I'm a bit tired of doing all the work. I like the idea of being a passive recipient of robot love.

Ah. I'm much rather an active recipient.

once again : a peni doesn´t have eyes

What about peni pantaloni, commonly known as the one-eye trouse snake.

I would not "buy" a robotic girlfriend.

Assuming that this took place well in the future, at a point where robots were free, sentient beings (and have not taken over the planet), and I happened to run across a "female" robot who interested me...I suppose weirder things have happened. I don't discriminate.

Clearly you do not watch Futurama. This episode was on last night on Adult Swim.

does it give machine-quality head?

A penis doesn't have eyes but the body its connected to does, and that body has to get benefit surely. I can't find the newscientist article, but there was an article that said that having a partner does make a difference.

I do occasionally watch it. What the hell is Adult Swim? You did notice my location right? I don't get the same channels as you Americanos.

Something that would be censored in the UK lol!

Why? Do you have proof that the UK has more censorship than the US?

Are you insane? Ever read the same issue of PC Gamer or another magazine in it's UK and US versions? The UK is much less censored.

You Brits don't get Cartoon Network? Poor souls.

I wouldn't

but some girls do want a machine boy "refers to dresden dolls coin opperated boy"

This is all just a ploy to get us attached to the robots so they can use our bodies to fuel their takeover of the world!!!

*looks around in suspicion*

Are any of you robots?

*slowly backs away*

Watch out for electro-ghonorrea, the noisy killer.

For me, it would depend on how accurate said robot was. I think it would be difficult to simulate the cuddly softness of a human female. If the robot was basically human, but with a brain programmed for sex, then sure, sounds good.

Robot girls are pretty cool.

Anybody who would be interested in a robotic "boyfriend/girlfriend" is clearly not in any way equipped to be involved with actual humans, so it's probably best they not try.

I would certainly consider owning a sophisticated sex toy, but I wouldn't delude myself into thinking it was a "boyfriend" or "girlfriend."

If we're thinking something like the Buffy doll in that ancient, long forgotten television show, then HELL YEAH!

But then I'm more than slightly "in to" relationships where I'm dominant. Effortless submission and devotion? It would save so much time!

i love my marilyn-monroe-bot :D

If the robot women were like the ones in the old movie "West World" they could be lots of fun

as a diversion for a while

What, you mean a willing, enthusiastic sex-slave?

One that leaves me free of guilt because I'm not actually exploiting a human being with feelings?

Sure, anytime, since I'm celibate at the moment anyway. But I probably would ditch it the moment I found a nice real human boyfriend. Y'know, one that I can love and who can love me back and everything.

At this point, I'm pretty much convinced that if I'm ever going to have a girlfriend, she'd almost have to be a robot. :headbang:

No. Absolutely not! I think it would be kind of creepy to be staring at a pair of glassy eyes (probably why I don’t tend to date junkies either). You might as well have a taxidermy fetish or something. That and she might accidentally rip something off I planned on having around for a while, just because of some bad code. Besides everyone knows that if you involve yourself in bad touching with a robot you’ll get hairy palms.
