What Does Consent Mean When One of You Is a Robot?
Daily Beast ^ | February 20, 2018 | Joelle Renstrom

The future of sex robots is closer than ever, and more and more people are open to having a romantic, sexual relationship with them.

Take Roxxxy, billed as the world’s first sex robot, not to be confused with sex dolls that can’t move or communicate. For just under $10,000, users can customize her or her male counterpart, Rocky, by selecting a hair style and color, eye color, skin tone, fingernail and toenail style, and even the shape and color of its pubic hair (if any). These robots converse, respond to touch, and perform movements such as hip thrusts.

A hunk of metal, latex or whatever is used, and CPUs has to consent?

It doesn’t matter what happens today.

What matters is how the robot interprets the encounter 10 years from now. If it decides then that it was rape, then you are in trouble.

These sex dolls creep me out in general, but it seem they are popular with some. I read that a measurable and increasing percentage of people searching for porn are looking for sex doll porn.

Who’s going to liberate the washing machine and dishwater from unpaid daily chores?

Does this mean that our vehicles have to consent before we can operate them? What about our computers? TVs? Ovens? Refrigerators?

This is just plain stupidity at an unimaginable level.

That's why you wipe that robotic broad's memory chips with a Hillary Clinton grade bleach bit program after every encounter....

ONE SHOULD BE CAREFUL HOW THEY SPELL WHEN THEY ORDER THE MALE OR FEMALE!!

A few letters’ difference can mean the world, or in this case, 10k :)

Consent must be required. The robot has to choose the right program, and has to agree to abide by the TOS.

Just wondering if these sexbots, you know...clean themselves after?
Or do you have to hose them off in the shower after they’ve been hosed down?
Or would hosing off In the shower void the warranty?

So many questions.

I find it entertaining that the Gloria Allreds of the world are likely going to find themselves holding the proverbial bag after decades of pushing the male population into “alternative” sources of companionship.
