Who knew way back in 1987 that Melanie Griffith's robot character in Cherry 2000 would actually turn out to be a reality. Yes, I admit I have seen the movie. Hey, before all the botox and an additional 20 year years of booze, Melanie Griffith was fairly attractive. Anyway, in Vegas this week is the Adult Expo. It basically is just an excuse for guys to meet up with porn stars prior to the AVN Awards. At the show this year is a robot. The robot is going to sell for about $7000 and is basically a blow up doll with a brain that talks to you while you touch it and have sex with it.
The guy who invented the doll says he was inspired by 9/11. I kid you not. His original plan was to try and make this like a home health care aide but the red tape was too much so he turned to porn.
There is some type of laptop built into the doll and you can get updates downloaded from the internet. Right now your choices of characters are Wild Wendy and Frigid Farrah. Apparently the reason you should buy this instead of a blow up doll is because, "Sex only goes so far – then you want to be able to talk to the person."
It's not a person, its a doll!! The sad thing is this guy will probably sell hundreds of these things.
There are a lot of sexual deviants out there. Yeah, I said it.
ReplyDeleteLOL. A bar hookup would be cheaper.
ReplyDeleteI'm all for kinky sex but with a human....not alone in your room with a doll...lol
ReplyDeleteThey have one called "Frigid Farrah"? Isn't that inviting even creepier behavior? I mean beyond paying thousands of dollars for a sex-bot.
ReplyDeleteIt gets worse. There are actually five models available, not two. One of them is simply called "Young", for that barely legal experience.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I think this totally deserves a massive "Missing The Point" award. Hm, are your sex dolls leaving you with a detached, not so nice feeling? Are you craving conversation and intimacy? Well, pick up a new talking sex doll to replace your stale old mute one!
And not, you know, have sex with an actual living breathing woman.
Creeeeepy.
ReplyDelete@ellapetal - I was thinking the same thing. So the point then is to force sex on a "Frigid Farrah"? That's beyond creepy.
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at "additional year years of booze" for Melanie. It's an unintentional emphasis on how much booze she drank, like the episode of Frasier where Niles wonders who will teach his son to throw a "baseball ball" if Marty isn't around.
Years ago I think it was HBO that hada program showing people having sex with these dolls. One guy wanted to watch his gf with another woman so she tried it with a doll.
ReplyDeleteI think $7,000 could be better spent in sooooo many other ways than this.
Did you hear about the Japanese men obsessed with having sex with PILLOWS that look like anime characters? Soooo gross and wrong.

Melanie Griffith wasn't the robot in Cherry 2000. She was the real woman who convinces the male character a real woman is better.
ReplyDeleteYes, those were the days.
If Sisqo had gotten one he wouldn't even be in this mess
ReplyDeleteok, so it probably says 'oh, it's so BIG! you're the best i've ever had! put it in me NOW!'
ReplyDeletethen it's programmed to know when the guy is done, and never utters another word.
califblondy, I remember that HBO show, too. I thought it was very creepy then. But, then I thought, if these guys are are so f-ed up and strange, I would rather they did it with a doll than mess up a real person. I guess it is a strange/icky demographic no matter how you look at it.
ReplyDeleteWhere is the male version?
ReplyDeleteWhatever floats your boat, I guess...
ReplyDeleteSome men just *cannot* handle interaction with a real female, even one he pays for.
ReplyDeleteI just want to know one thing: for 7k, is this thing self-cleaning??
i'm still trying to figure out hth 9/11 inspired this? smh.
ReplyDeleteOk feel free to call me weird, but looking at the photo with the doll on the couch makes me think of dead people. Seriously, aren't necrophiliacs happy that they can indulge themselves "legally" without the Eww factor of decomposition?
ReplyDeleteIck all over.
I guess the guys who need this type of doll can't get a girl any other way, so it's probably a big step up from just a regular blow-up "sex partner."
ReplyDeleteAnyone else notice this kind of stuff is only for men?
ReplyDeleteJust sayin'.
i gather it's technology that ur paying 4 here. not looks. real dolls btw r great looking sex dolls. this one, not so much. there is a man in japan with a doll he's developed. she is beautiful, details r amazing. his doll interacts with his family at the dinner table etc. japanese take their "robots" very seriously. the finish work on this doll leaves much to be desired. notice the hands, the "seams" are visible, sloppy, makes me wonder about what u can't see. i wonder if this doll simulates orgasm, guess that would take "faking it" to another level. they do have male dolls. i can't remember where i've seen them. i guess i don't see this as an issue. not 4 everyone, but so what. i prefer flesh and blood. i navigate relationships with ease. some ppl don't.
ReplyDeleteI just noticed.. does the doll sorta look like Rumer Willis?
ReplyDeleteBut the tramp can't make a sandwich, can she?
ReplyDeletecalifblondy: I'll bet she acts as well as Rumer does, lol, she can't be worse.
ReplyDeleteCan I buy a King Leonidas who DOESN'T talk? ;-)
ReplyDelete@califblondy LOL-She does kind of look like Rumer.
ReplyDelete9/11 ???? WTF???? Does that make sense to anyone? If so please explain it to me.
lol@Lauren
ReplyDeleteLMAO @ Nancer
ReplyDelete$7000 sounds pretty pricey to me.
The 9/11 connection, per the article, was that his friend died in it and he wanted to make something to preserve his memory for his children. But that was too much paperwork so porn was the next route.
They're trying to humanize these robots! Like in Lars & The Real Girl. :)
By the position of the panties, she's been tested.
ReplyDeleteI thought they already had these dolls. There was a show about men with their life size dolls. It was very sad.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw that doll, the first thing I thought of was Mr. Universe's "wife" on Serenity. Except she was a blonde. Sad, I know.
ReplyDeleteWanna see the Bingo Wings Big Butt Betty model.
