Sex with robots 'not far away'

October 13, 2007 11:43am


HUMANS will be marrying and having sex with robots by 2050, an artificial intelligence researcher has claimed.

Netherlands university student David Levy, who recently completed his PhD on the subject of human-robot relationships, told LiveScience that robots would become so human-like in appearance, function and personality that many people would fall in love with them, have sex with them and even marry them. Does that mean you have to "reboot" her every morning?

"At first, sex with robots might be considered geeky, but once you have a story like 'I had sex with a robot and it was great!' appear in a magazine like Cosmo, I'd expect many people to jump on the bandwagon," he said.

In his thesis "Intimate Relationships with Artificial Partners", Mr Levy argued that psychologists have identified roughly a dozen basic reasons why people fall in love, and almost all of them could apply to human-robot relationships.

"For instance, one thing that prompts people to fall in love are similarities in personality and knowledge, and all of this is programmable," Mr Levy said.Sure, let my wife do the programming and then hell would feel like paradise.

"Another reason people are more likely to fall in love is if they know the other person likes them, and that's programmable too."

Mr Levy said Massachusetts would be the first jurisdiction to legalise human-robot marriage.

"Massachusetts is more liberal than most other jurisdictions in the United States and has been at the forefront of same-sex marriage," Mr Levy said.

"There's also a lot of high-tech research there."

Although roboticist Ronald Arkin at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta didn't think human-robot marriages would be legal anywhere by 2050, he said "anything's possible".

"Just because it's not legal doesn't mean people won't try it," he told LiveScience.

"Humans are very unusual creatures.

"If you ask me if every human will want to marry a robot, my answer is probably not. But will there be a subset of people? There are people ready right now to marry sex toys."

Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my, be my, be my girl

Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my, be my, be my girl

Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my, be my, be my girl

Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my, be my, Be my girl

I was blue and lonely, I couldn't sleep a wink
And I could only get unconscious if I'd had to much to drink

There was somehow, something wrong somewhere
And each day seemed grey and dead
The seeds of desperation were growing in my head

I needed inspiration, a brand new start in life
Somewhere to place affection, but I didn't want a wife

And then by lucky chance I saw in a special magazine
An ad that was unusual, the like I'd never seen:
"Experience something different with our new imported toy
She's loving, warm, inflatible and a guarantee of joy."

She came all wrapped in cardboard, all pink and shrivelled down
A breath of air was all she needed to make her lose that frown

I took her to the bedroom and pumped her with some life
And later in a moment that girl became my wife

And so I sit her in the corner and sometimes stroke her hair
And when I'm feeling naughty I blow her up with air

She's cuddly and she's bouncy, she's like a rubber ball
I bounce her in the kitchen and I bounce her in the hall

And now my life is different since Sally came my way
I wake up in the morning and have her on a tray
She's everything they say she was and I wear a permanent grin
And I only have to worry in case my girl wears thin

Won't you be my girl, won't you be my girl
Won't you be my, be my, be my girl
Won't you be my girl, won't you be my girl
Won't you be my, be my, be my girl
Won't you be my girl, won't you be my girl
Won't you be my, be my, be my girl

Why wait until 2050?

Creating a better sex doll

The Japanese have selflessly devoted themselves to a practical pursuit
SCOTT FESCHUK | October 22, 2007 |

Thank goodness for Japan. While other nations waste scientific brainpower developing moon bases and mulling the origins of the universe, the Japanese have selflessly devoted themselves to a more practical pursuit: building a better sex doll.

Obsolete now are the crude blow-up dolls featured in countless Hollywood comedies and the back seat of my car on prom night. In their place, the Tokyo-based company 4Woods has unveiled "lifelike" silicone companions with "hyper-real" mouths and "ultra-real" breasts. As 4Woods declares on its website: "Our pursuit of high quality beauty for visual effects and durability for practical play have been realized!" Happy alone fun time!

Having intimate relations with your new Japanese "love doll" couldn't be easier. You don't need to inflate her (as with a traditional doll) or get her drunk (as with a traditional Hilton). You simply accept shipment from the snickering UPS driver, peek through the curtains at the UPS driver as he laughs with your neighbour and comically thrusts his pelvis while pointing at your house, remove your doll from its storage sack (complimentary with purchase!), ignore the taunts of the UPS driver and allow nature -- and years of painstaking industrial research into the ideal contours of what 4Woods describes as the "marriage hole" -- to take its course. All in the comfort and privacy of your own shame!

These new sex dolls sell for a little more than $5,000 each. That's a lot of money -- but a visit to the manufacturer's website leaves the impression that crafting a state-of-the-art 21st-century sex partner was an engineering challenge on par with building the Brooklyn Bridge or Pamela Anderson. There is discussion of the "hyper-anatomical" body frame, the highly durable and easily reparable "skin" and the "33 degrees of increased movement on a new single axis on a double joint." (For the record, Anderson herself routinely achieves a remarkable 47 degrees of increased movement, but that's because her pelvis was permanently unhooked during a tragic honeymooning accident.)

One problem with sex dolls of yore was the lack of realism in the chestal-type region (I'm told). Basically, the breasts felt like air bags (I'm told). They totally killed the mood that night at the lake (I'm told). But these Japanese sex dolls feature "new-materials technology inside a breast!" Specifically, a special "elastomer gel" provides a more authentic feel. The company brags: "The softness can be checked!" I love that. The softness can be checked. This helps to explain why all dolls come with a small square of paper that reads, "Inspected by Number Charlie Sheen."

But it's not all nerd talk for 4Woods. Chief executive Hiroo Okawa was moved recently to write a poetic step-by-step description of how his team crafts your delicate new love partner:

1. "Metal work process;
2. Joint assembly process;
3. Framework assembly, make skull ..."

Okay, so Hiroo Okawa isn't exactly Cyrano de Bergerac. But give Hiroo Okawa a break! Hiroo Okawa is working flat-out to offer exclusive sex-doll options such as the proprietary implanting of "real pubic hair" -- which is, Hiroo Okawa assures us, "planted by our craftswoman who is very skilful." So that's a load off.

Listen to me: I sound like an advocate for these things. But I'm not here to sell you on a Japanese sex doll. And I'm certainly not in any way angling to have a free Japanese sex doll, preferably the Mitsumi model, delivered in an unmarked crate to my work address after business hours. But for no unethical reason whatsoever we should probably wrap things up by considering the many ways in which a high-tech Japanese Sex Doll is vastly superior to an Actual Living Woman:

1. An Actual Living Woman is, by and large, unlikely to willingly stay inside a convenient storage sack. In fact, the sad truth is that these days most modern women don't even come with their own convenient storage sack! Advantage: Japanese Sex Doll.

2. "You can choose your favorite head!" That's right -- 4Woods offers 11 different female heads that "have very rich individuality and originality." Extra heads can be purchased separately (for $765 apiece) and quickly snapped onto your sex doll. Voila! Suddenly you're making it with upwards of a dozen pretend women. Take that, ordinary everyday loser!

3. Did I mention one head has pigtails? Or that another wears a nurse's hat? Oh, and one is sleeping, for some reason. More important, when is the last time an Actual Living Woman removed her head? Fine, Rosie O'Donnell. But she has to so she can feed in her natural form; that doesn't count.

4. A Japanese Sex Doll won't make fun of you for owning a Japanese Sex Doll, whereas an Actual Living Woman almost definitely will -- probably by creating a Facebook group.

5. That UPS driver and his buddies from work probably won't stay out there laughing and hooting all night. Will they?
