One of the few existing robotic sex dolls appears to be Roxxxy, from New Jersey-based TrueCompanion. With an appearance akin to an especially lifelike (yet not especially attractive) store mannequin, Roxxxy is in no danger of being mistaken for human. But she has three “inputs” (mouth, vagina, and anus), according to TrueCompanion’s website, and the deluxe model boasts five programmable personalities, including Young Yoko, described on the company’s website as “oh so young and waiting for you to teach her,” and S&M Susan, “ready to provide your pain/pleasure fantasies.” Roxxxy and her male counterpart, Rocky, are billed as responsive companions able to “listen, talk, carry on a conversation, and feel your touch.” Owners can purportedly program them with likes, dislikes, and foreign languages, as well as upload their “personalities” to the cloud.
Roxxxy’s renown has been wide since her debut at a 2010 adult-entertainment expo, garnering mentions everywhere from tech blogs to the BBC. But many in the love-doll community are skeptical that TrueCompanion has ever sold any robots (the company did not respond to requests for comment).
Davecat, 41, is one such person. A “Synthetik advocate,” Davecat is part of a group known as the iDollators, who say they prefer sex dolls and robots to intimacy with “Organiks,” a.k.a. human beings. Davecat lives with three dolls, whom he has named Sidore, Elena, and Muriel. He has made up personalities and created Twitter accounts for each of them.
