They never have any male sexbots. 🙄

"Starpery's CEO, Evan Lee, announced earlier this month that these AI-powered companions will come in both male and female forms. "

Article says male and female dolls.

Also girls have so many toys already, mean while use dudes are stuck with lotion and our right hand and sometimes you sit on your left hand till it gets tingly and then rub one out. It’s called the stranger

Look up a brand called Tenga.

[-] catloaf@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

So the same thing as fleshlights?

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

Same general idea, yeah.

[-] Zos_Kia@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 1 year ago

Oh boy. You're about to discover the wide world of male sex toys and it's gonna rock you.

"Starpery's vision extends beyond companionship. Their roadmap includes:

Developing versatile robots capable of tackling household chores.

Assisting individuals with disabilities.

Providing much-needed aged care."

"No, no... see... it's not a 'sexbot', it does the cleaning too!"

"This is not the argument you think it is..."

So they are making a bangmaid?

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Only if you pay for the premium version.

[-] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

With the free trial, it actively creates messes to incentivize you to upgrade.

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 16 points 1 year ago

Yeah but where can one import these... for a friend?

[-] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 12 points 1 year ago

Well I don't want something like that in my country so I to need to know and after I verify its really being imported and make sure it functions the way I think it does then Im going to make quite the petition I tell you what.

[-] figjam@midwest.social 16 points 1 year ago

If I'm going to have a sexy maid robot she needs to fold laundry and clean litterboxes too.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Wait until the first customer gets his dick squeezed to mush due to a "software error"...

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

For those who like this kind of action... Which makes me wonder: If the Sex puppet has a software problem, is it still consenting?

[-] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Do I have trust issues when I have to ask where the AI is gonna store our conversations, dick measurements, fetishes, turn-ons, times I start crying during copulation, times I stop crying during copulation, desires in life, and preferred types of lingerie; or are there legitimate infosec considerations?

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 9 points 1 year ago

Do those sex dolls have replacement genitals or do people just pay thousands of bucks for what's essentially a throwaway item?

[-] Dearth@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Realdolls have removable washable and replaceable bits. I imagine these do as well

How is that going to fix the tears? lol

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I suppose there's a little tank that you can fill if you really want tears.

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago
[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 5 points 1 year ago

Doesn't matter if you pay 50 or 5000 bucks. Male sex toys are suffering from wear & tear like crazy. Ask how many dildos a women managed to destroy in comparison.

[-] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I think that's just the nature of male sex toys needing to be made out of a much softer material, unfortunately.

Just this page I counted 13 ads. 🤯

[-] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 42 points 1 year ago

You really shouldn't be raw dogging the Internet

Use protection, use an ad blocker

[-] umami_wasbi@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

I'm. I'm counting the ad placeholders which there would be ads.

[-] th3dogcow@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Zero here for me. You using an ad blocker?

[-] db2@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

The Outer Limits 1995 episode about this didn't end too well.
