But one day, my tech will provide that ultimate satiation, and well, humanity be damned. When you use your PDA, laptop, cell, microwave or other instrument of efficiency, remember: those things are completing tasks you find mundane. I've met a few people that feel sex is a mundane task too. They're usually married. ;) So why not have it completed by something, a robot, that won't piss you off if you suck literally and figuratively at it? We started this slippery slope with test tube babies, genetic mapping and other enhancements to our physical beings. This is just another avenue of exploration.

If there is a machine (or blow up) that provides a release and somehow satiates our desires, then it is a worthy enough path. Artificial means are becoming the status quo in America/World society. Drugs to balance us, cosmetic operations to mold us and machines to do whatever we need them TO DO. Why would sex be ANY different? Pills for sexual dysfunction. Pills to make us happy. Computers to do our 'mundane' calculations. (can you do a multi-linear regression or Laplace transform without it --in 60 seconds?) All the PDAs to communicate, like, how you your so not into him/her. (How much of your 'social interaction' now is on a keyboard or video link? That's pretty impersonal, don't you think?) DNA experiments above ALL our heads. (Clone me up, Scotty!) No it isn't what we should be doing - but as time marches on, these things are an inevitability... 20+ years ago, if you piddled with a computer TOO much, you were a geek, loner and a loser. Now all the "cool" people are computer savvy. Plenty of ignorant people (people you would never talk to normally) have plenty of technology in their hands that they avoided like a plague not too many years prior. Hence, when a functional apparatus for partnership comes out, and people mock, deride or sneer at its usage (and permanent linkage to it), we will soon enough find that this ROBOT will become accepted as people eventually acknowledge it useful and wondrous nature. (And since the first users will be very comfortable with tech, it isn't like they would be cheating on humanity that much...) Every prior generation loses something to tech. And no, I haven't "blown up any date", yet. ;) When it comes down to it, we all have desires to act or choose not to act on.
