I watched "Her" and found the "phone sex" bit absolutely ridiculous, where a body less AI gets "off" with a conversation accompanied by moans and gasps. Kudos to Scarlett johanssen for some hot acting, but I don't buy that a disembodied AI could have any equipment available to provide the requisite stimulation. I could have bought it if the AI was lying and just saying whatever to ingratiate itself with its boss. But the movie lacked imagination. It had one imaginative concept and then made it into a dull movie I fell asleep near the end of. Obviously it was totally riveting ...

As for robots, I'd guess women have far less desire for such things than men. Men have a physiological need to blow their wad, while for women it's all mental. Let me explain:
Semen is collected in the prostate before being released by orgasm. Over time, without release, the prostate swells. As it swells, it puts pressure on a delicate network of nerves surrounding it. These nerves are Hardwired into the brain in areas that deal with sexual arousal.
So the longer it's been, the larger the man's prostate, the more he's compelled to think about sex, and the smaller the trigger needed for arousal.
We literally do not have a choice. It's blow the wad or walk around in torment.
I wish women understood this.

That head line should really read 1 in 5 MEN would have sex with a robot.
If you find her G spot, bells and whistles sound off signifying free credits!

This is what women do not understand. Best to explain this to your partner. Let them know, you do not have a choice, you have to get it out. You could go further if you want to be rough and state....I have to have it. Either I get it from you, or from someone else. You choose.

So you're telling me that when it's possible to have sex with a no-attitude Raquel Welch, Sophia Loren, Marilyn Monroe, [ fill-in-your-classic-beauty ] look-a-like android, that only 1 out of 5 guys would opt for it?
Try more like 4 out of 5.

It's just not the same without the nagging and financial extortion.
Unless the robot winds up with a lot of your stuff after a few sex acts, it will never feel normal or natural.
"Do not remove this white tag under penalty of felony. You may upon device malfunction suffer sudden penile extraction and blood loss, as well as lesser incidents of bruising, bleeding and testicular laceration. Use at your own risk."

Yes, this could be a major issue, as an entire generation of Leonardo DaVincis, Goethes, Michelangelos could emerge out of a bunch of happy guys, pursuing their true interests than in trying to get some tail.

We're going to start this article off with a challenge to you, the readers: If not one person comments with an iteration of, "I already had sex with a robot! My ex, amirite?" I will personally fan each and every one of you.
But I digress. The Daily Beast reports that one in five people in the United Kingdom would have sex with a robot, given the chance. That's perfectly fine with us, because we here at Weird News would probably get down with a dalek, too.
More than 2,000 responded to the poll at Middlesex University. The study also found that 46 percent of participants felt that technology was progressing too quickly, and at least 33 percent believe robots will one day replace soldiers, cops and teachers. They probably aren't far off, either: Robots have already replaced hand jobs.
"It seems to have got to the stage where people would rather have sex with something that knows exactly what it's doing, where we know exactly how it will react, and how long it will take, and how good it will be," said one of the participants. "But this obliterates the excitement of the uncertainty of being with a living person and the risk of it all going wrong, which is big part of having sex with someone in the first place. I'm just glad I got into a relationship before sleeping with C-3PO became the norm."
Not only did plenty of people say they'd go all nuts and bolts on a bot, 46 percent of people surveyed also said they wouldn't judge those who want to.
The discussion is topical. The release of the movie "Her" started an Internet-wide conversation about robo-boning. The folks at io9 can't decide whether they want a sex bot or an emotional partner:
I certainly don't have any objections
