They never have any male sexbots. 🙄

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 2 years ago

So the same thing as fleshlights?

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 1 points 2 years ago

Same general idea, yeah.

"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 2 years ago

Only if you pay for the premium version.

[-] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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

[-] figjam@midwest.social 16 points 2 years ago

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

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 16 points 2 years ago

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

[-] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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?

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

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

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

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 9 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago
[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 5 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

You really shouldn't be raw dogging the Internet

Use protection, use an ad blocker

[-] umami_wasbi@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago

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

[-] th3dogcow@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Zero here for me. You using an ad blocker?

[-] db2@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

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