Dude?
A Nov. 7 article on the futurist website Transhumanity argues that robot lovers could help extend life spans by giving users mind-blowing “longevity orgasms” far superior in quality to those from human “meat-bag” partners.
The link between orgasms and health is not unexplored. Some have argued that orgasms have significant health benefits, and “The Longevity Project,” a book about an eight-decade study of long-life factors, observed that women with higher frequency of orgasm during sex lived longer.

There’s a little more to s3x than mechanical skills. The moment Robots are capable enough to bridge that gap they wouldn’t bother keeping the “meatbags” around, let alone pleasure us.
A “Futurist” is like a pundit with the added benefit that they won’t even be around when their predictions fail.

Only if that’s what the person has learned. The quality of your orgasm is mostly in your head, and robot sex is really just masturbating with an aid. If you get your kicks on getting your partner off, the robot wont do much for you.
On the other hand, if you have fantasies about sexual positions/situations that you are too embarrassed to suggest to another actual person, a sex bot might be right up your ally.

I do that already for my wife.
That’s right, ladies.

I’m sure ObamaCare covers the ObamaSexBot to go along with the ObamaPhones.

In the future, only our progressive overlords will have access to technology higher than that of a plow.

For the first time in my life, I agree with lester?
Shoot me now. And good night, all.

Barbarella could tell us a thing or two about robot love.

Can anyone here say with 100% certainty, that the last woman you made love to was NOT a robot? How do you know they weren’t a cybernetic sent back from the future? Have you ever swung a pipe wrench into her head to see if the face plate comes off? Well, have you? If it was designed and manufactured correctly, that would be the only way to tell.

I have actually been to their website and those people are certifiable.

I won’t even click on HuffPo links anymore for Dude posts. Screw them.

Apparently, these “futurists” don’t watch Futurama…

But does it do laundry and dust?

Even that wouldn’t work on a Cylon.

“Bang ‘er Will Robinson, bang ‘er!” the robot said with flailing arms.

It’s much better to have awesome love than awesome sex.
(I’m thankful to have both)

After Tuesday, why would I want my life extended?

Sounds like they are just planning on adding more entertainment to the slave’s lives to keep them preoccupied from their position in life.
