How long until these are integrated into sex dolls and we have a real life Ex Machina?

I think red pillers have been waiting for this to happen. For real women to be unnecessary.

I'm not a red piller, and I can't wait for this to happen.

Girlfriend for the human connection, sex bot for the things girlfriend doesn't want to do.

Come on, Mary Anne, why don't you try on the fucking Birdman costume just once?!!!

Interesting angle. An inflatable one might be a little cheaper.

Not the same, and not the point.

I put on a Catwoman costume on an inflatable doll and ask it to lick my nostrils, I'll get nothing. Maybe an "eh" experience.

Enter the sex robot with human-like behavior. In the end, a sex robot is a thing. You kick a football, the football won't complain, it won't feel pain. A sex robot can endure virtually any sordid fantasy you may have, and it will be fun!

Then you go cuddle with your human girlfriend and listen to all her stories in a happy mood.

I did not say it was either the same or the point, elbarto777.

That was a joke, but I see your too laserbeam focused on your own genitals to see anything else.

Wait, a sub-thread about sex robots, and I can't focus on my genitals? GTFO!

It would probably be for the best, if red pillers could fulfill their needs this way instead of reaching a breaking point and resorting to violence.
