Would life-like intelligent sex robots kill the hobby?

A conversational real doll - I don't know, might be even creepier, lol. Even if you could program it to do everything perfectly, you may tire of it and long for the real thing. Like a Sybian - it's fun every now and then, but I definitely don't use it on a regular basis; I like the real thing more often than not. But when I'm not getting the real thing enough, it fills the gap, so to speak Originally Posted by Claire She Blows

Since make up for the fight sex is always the most intense I dont see a threat to this world.

But would we ever be able to pass through the revulsion of the uncanny valley ?.

Suppose you could create the robotic lifelike intelligent provider of your dreams eliminating Ymmv, covered anything, smoke smell (and other unpleasant odors), legal, health and safety risks etc..
In other words keeping all of the good stuff but eliminating all of the bad stuff for let's say 10k would you still hobby? Originally Posted by Windinhishair

Sexy sojourns into the Uncanny Valley rarely end well for the Pygmalion of the story.

Now I know you meant a machine incapable of passing a Turing test. But what's the point of sex if you know your partner is just a glorified version of your own left hand? And once you make a self-aware sexbot, it's basically slavery. I posit that many, if not most, men who see escorts (and the much smaller number of females that see gigolos) do so to have a conscious actor create the illusion of emotional intimacy. Yes, physical intimacy plays an integral part of that particular emotional intimacy, but I doubt that's all there is to it for most johns. Otherwise they could just use their imagination or, if they're capable of imagining it's them as opposed to watching some other couple make it, pornography. Sure, porn will continue to evolve until it's fully immersive. But without a self-aware agent, I do not believe it will ever take the place of rental intimacy with other actual human beings.

I'm willing to bet if given a choice any provider would gladly choose an always loaded ATM machine against the bedroom wall over renting her body out to strangers by the hour. Originally Posted by Windinhishair

In a society of unlimited material abundance, people would find another scarcity (energy, information, time) to value and trade. If all you wanted to do was estivate, you could do so (provided living space no longer came at a premium). And purely anarchic participatory activities would still be free provided there were no overhead costs in terms of the substitute scarcity. But if you wanted access to whatever society still traded for, you would still have to do something of value to others (i.e. work).

Saw this years ago. Not humorous but to the point I guess. Info is from Wikipedia.

"The pursuit of technology exists to make human life easier and more pleasurable. But once such forces intrude upon the most intimate parts of our lives, will we then forfeit our very soul?"

Valerie 23 (Sofia Shinas) is the latest development from the Innobotics Corporation. She is a gynoid: designed to be attractive, helpful and a perfect companion for a disabled man. Although he is the ideal test candidate, because of his condition and qualifications, Frank Hellner (William Sadler) is extremely reluctant to take part and wants nothing to do with Valerie. Nevertheless he eventually agrees to a one-week test period.

Valerie proves to be an excellent caregiver, and more. Over the course of the test, Valerie becomes increasingly affectionate and Frank eventually gives in. After the sexual encounter, Frank explains to Valerie that he thinks it was a mistake.

Frank begins to grow closer to his physiotherapist Rachel (Nancy Allen), and she invites him to a bar. Valerie responds by displaying more human traits such as anger and envy. After following Frank and Rachel on a rock climbing outing, Valerie attempts to dispose of her rival Rachel and is shut down before being returned to Innobotics.

Frank decides that he must speak to Valerie before she is dismantled and asks for her to be reactivated. While restrained at Innobotics, Valerie tries to explain her feelings for Frank and rekindle the relationship, but to no avail. When asked by Frank about being afraid of death, she stated that one shouldn't be afraid of death, because death was nothingness, and one shouldn't fear nothingness.

Valerie escapes, follows Frank and again tries to kill Rachel. Frank is forced to destroy Valerie with an electric shock. As she lies dying, she tells him that she is afraid to die.

Earlier Frank had been told by Rachel that anything that fears its death is alive.

I haven't seen the main reason some guys hobby mentioned. ...VARIETY!!
Is this realdoll going to be able to change into someone else? What if you want a red head today, blonde tomorrow, Asian, Hispanic, short, tall, petite spinner with A cups, with DD, or maybe a BBW?? Is the doll self lubed or do you have to add it? Will she squirt, or even have a fake orgasm? Too many variables that I didn't mention. Don't take offense if I didn't mention your hair color, size or race, I only added a couple of examples.
No I don't think these dolls would hurt the hobby.

Not surprising that a troll who has only posted fantasy, never really hobbying, would dream of such an idea. Maybe between your imaginary relationships you could put your vivid imagination to use, and design one. lol
Just a tip, if you want people to believe you have actual RW relationships, quit posting about having one every other post on a fucking hooker board.

In other words your continued hostile childish board behavior even on Christmas day only reflects badly on you and no one else.

All this merely because someone stepped up to the plate and said something when you insulted another board member without any provocation whatsoever. I feel for the unsuspecting provider who one day pisses you off during a session.

Merry Christmas RR. I hope you and yours have an awesome holiday season.

I'll be sure to worry about that troll.
