World’s First Sex Robot Unveiled….ideal for Solo Cultivators?

note: the best line in this press puff piece: “Sex only goes so far, then you want to be able to talk to the
person (robot)”. I suppose if you are going to fantasize and project your sexual chi somewhere, it might as well be a $9,000l piece of plastic hanging around your house rather than off in cyberspace, with the Internet Sex Beast.

The world’s first “sexbot” — a life-sized rubber doll named Roxxxy who can
chat about football — has been unveiled.

The dark-haired, lingerie-clad robot has inbuilt artificial intelligence —
meaning she can talk footie and cars with her owner.

Roxxxy also boasts impressive, flesh-like, synthetic skin.

The revolutionary invention — set to take the sex toy industry by storm —
also comes with FIVE different “personalities”.

Owners can customise Roxxxy’s features and change her race, hair colour and
breast size.

The anatomically correct robot has a fake skeleton, letting her move like a
REAL woman.

She also utters different phrases depending on how she is touched.

Prospective owners can pick from the five different “personalities”
depending on their individual preference.

There is Wild Wendy — who is outgoing and adventurous, Frigid Farah — who
is reserved and shy, Mature Martha and S&M Susan — available for more
adventurous types.

The doll costs between US$7,000 (£4,350) to US$9,000 (£5,993), and was
unveiled at the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas at the weekend.

Douglas Hines, the robot’s football loving inventor, said the real aim was
to make the doll someone the owner can talk to and relate to.

Mr Hines said: “She can’t vacuum, she can’t cook but she can do almost
anything else if you know what I mean.

“She’s a companion. She has a personality. She hears you. She listens to
you. She speaks. She feels your touch. She goes to sleep. We are trying to
replicate a personality of a person.”

Mr Hines, from TrueCompanion <http://www.truecompanion.com>, said the doll
could carry out simple conversations and was designed to “know exactly what
you like”.

He said: “Sex only goes so far, then you want to be able to talk to the
person.

“She knows exactly what you like. If you like Porsches, she likes Porsches.
If you like soccer, she likes soccer.”

The sex robot is available in Europe and the United States and will
eventually be sold all over the world.

A male version of the doll, dubbed Rocky, is also planned.
