Cybernetic Mates Anyone???
 

I was just thinking that eventually technology will evolve enough to allow anyone with the money to simply buy their perfect mate. The ladies could purchase the anatomically perfect guy, built to their exact specifications. She could program him to be a Bad Boy Biker or Mr. Nice Guy, whatever she desired, and it could all be modified with a simple USB interface. He would never cum too fast or get drunk and do something incredibly stupid. He would come with an adjustable vibrating cock that would never get tired! What women wouldn't want that??? He would also be built somewhat terminator style to protect the nice lady & her family from any and all threats. As Sarah Connor thought in T2....

What women wouldn't want that too??? Most of all when she was tired of looking at the thing she could just stick him in a closet or under the bed.

And of course on the flip side (you knew this was coming, right???) the guys could have their perfect women. Built to the guys exact specifications, she would never have her period and get bitchy, never have a headache, and never talk till you could shoot yourself in the head. She would come with a vibrating pussy that was always ready, along with personalized modifications to fit anyones lifestyle. What guy wouldn't want that???

Seriously, if you couldnt tell them from actual human beings, say the looked like cylons from battlestar, wouldnt you want that???

No. Cylons are still robots, and as much as I may fantasize about Boomer, and that would still creep into the back of my mind. Of course, I get into relationships for the emotional over the physical value, so I might be a dud for this question.

This is a good question...i think I'd like someone without a directive to be my mate. Now, for an extra partner in bed, yes, cyborg seems like the perfect 3rd person to have around, as long as they didn't have a crisis of religion, or decide to kill all humans near them.

I'm not perfect but I do believe that the laundry list of my woman's imperfections is a big part of what keeps our relationship interesting. Like the fact that I can already hear her cursing me out in Spanish after reading that first sentence. Without the squabbles we'd just be bored.

But I do believe the war of the Replicants is long overdue.

And I'd imagine that with all the electronics involved with one of those things, they wouldn't make a good sex partner as water sports must surely be out of the question.

Assuming that the cybernetic mate is capable of genuine consciousness and self-awareness, as most humans are, they would probably integrate into society and receive equivalent personal rights, thus preventing us from purchasing one as anything but a prostitute.

If these cybernetic mates are incapable of self-awareness and do not have their own distinct personality, I would be uninterested in maintaining such a one-sided relationship. If my partner can be programmed to my exact specifications, it's like using the cheat codes in a game, robbing myself of the intended experience and the enjoyment along the way.

I would need the ability to form a deep emotional bond with this hypothetical mate, otherwise, the relationship would be confined to physical pleasures, which isn't enough for me.

Ah yes, sentience, if a cybernetic mate could be programmed to mimic self awareness & have its own distinct personality would that be a truly sentient being??? Do you have to be organic to be truly self aware, or can a series of algorithms that mimic sentience, embedded in an AI, be thought of as the real thing ??? I think they faced this same dilemma on battlestar.........

Either way I'd still have to try one out, I'll take a Boomer, thank you very much. :love:

I couldn't help myself...

I can't see value in having an emotional relationship with a robot. But it would be a nice way to avoid cleaning, laundry, yardwork, and rubbing one out.

Why the hell hasn't Willravel posted in this thread??? Cmon Will, I know you have something to say about sentient prostitute cylon cybernetic mates.

I'd buy one. Then I could have threesomes with the SO and not feel guilty about it.

Don't see that one working out for me. Yep. I'll stick with the living, breathing, emotion-filled, handsome alternative.

I'm the type of guy who would invent one. I'm thinking the military would look into creating artificial soldiers first, but I have a few ideas on how a female one could be built to mimic humans.

I'll take a number six to go please.

You wouldn't be able to tell the difference, they would appear to be living, breathing, handsome or beautiful, and as emotion filled or emotionless as you wanted, in essence your perfect mate; and as I said before they would never do any of the screwed up things that real humans do. You don't find the perfect mate even slightly tempting??? What about just for sexual gratification???

I guess the sex would be good, but even a Ferrari gets boring after a while.

You bet I would fuck a robot if it was lifelike. It would be way better than using your hand, and if your SO was being a pain that day you could take some rage out by violating the robot in all the ways your real life SO would not let you.

Is it really that much different than using a sex toy on yourself?

If they get to the Battlestar Glactica level of attractiveness and AI, then yes. Although I'm not sure if it would be cost effective... (how much does an hour at the Bunny Ranch cost?)

You could have threesomes with two robots that look really hot, but it would be cheaper to go to fly out to Nevada and paid the $3000 or whatever for a threesome to get it out of your system.

I've been meaning to watch the movie "Lars and the real girl" or whatever it's called. I wonder how it would be different if the silicone doll in the movie could move a little or support itself?

i'd have one. Hell, We'd probably have one of both...or a couple, you know, a Club Kitty one and a submissive one and ....

Toy

I find it tempting for sexual gratification, but as an actual romantic partner, I would not wish to program them. If they're upset at me, I truly don't want the ability to end that with the flip of a switch. To know that any emotion felt by them can be altered at will is too much to bear.

Their self, everything that they represent, becomes nothing more than a facade to please the human. I need a partner that I can stand on roughly equal ground with, not a robot whose inner thoughts are entirely in these hands of mine.

When the humanity is stripped away, flaws included, what remains is a machine. The dream ends and you realize that it's not genuine, they don't love you - they were merely programmed to.

Thanks for asking again. Honestly though, while I might be capable of being duped into such a relationship, I wouldn't be interested the minute I found out it wasn't real.

A side note: If it weren't for "the screwed up things humans do," we wouldn't have any interesting stories.

I'd hit it.

Again and again.

You get the guns and make the pancakes.

When women use a dildo or vibrator is that cheating??? No. Neither is having sex with a robot or cybernetic sexmachine, no matter how advanced it is. No doubt some would still get pissed, imagine walking in on your wife while her lifelike robot is banging away on her......:)

The idea of having sex with a human-looking robot makes me shiver (in a bad way). It's like that thread we had on here a while ago, about those guys who have lifelike-dolls as girlfriends.

Also interesting to hear how frustrated some (not all) guys here seem to be with women, which comes out in their posts here.

Dave, your OP's description of "exact specifications" is revealing. Is that what you consider to be an "ideal" woman?

this reminds me of the episodes from Buffy where Warren makes himself a gf. he then becomes bored with her and moves away. She tracks him down and finally she fights buffy, and dies(broken, dead battery).

and then spike asks the same dude to make him a robotic buffy. it was pretty awesome and I wouldn't mind having a robotic buffy in my closet for times when .... fuck, even to play coop on the ps2, it would be awesome!!

"robot girl, make me supper. "

No, my ideal human women would simply be someone who accepts me for who I am. The idea of life like cybernetic sex machine is somewhat appealing though, hard to say exactly how I'd react till I was actually faced with the prospect. Many men would embrace this completely, especially those who have a hard time meeting women, those who are introverted and not very good looking, & have a hard time with social situations. Without a doubt some would even fall in love with their cybernetic partners. This is all just speculation and conjecture since none of it currently exists.

I was watching T2 the other night (again) & it seemed like a decent idea for a thread, thus the quote from Sarah. Even if women wouldn't want a cybernetic lover, a protector or bodyguard type might catch on.

Actually, it does exist, and it happens exactly as you say. I don't know where that thread went, but you must have been gone during that time... there was a clip all about guys with these life-sized, silicone, very lifelike women. So that's where my reaction is coming from... my idea of a guy who likes this idea, appears in my head as one of those dudes with poor hygiene and no social skills. Not a bad thing, but I didn't imagine you being one of those. ;)

Robotic bodyguard, now that could be cool. Large, scary dogs work pretty well too, though... cheaper as well. :)

Now that has the ick factor for me, I'm sure you can tell they're obviously not real women. If they looked like those hot chicks on battlestar, I suspect few if any men would turn down sex with one. Not a relationship, just sex.......

Lars and the Real Girl (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0805564/) would be worth picking up if you can find it somewhere. It's a sweet movie, and gives an interesting perspective on those unhygienic guys with no social skills.

Only if I was looking for a fuckbuddy.

In a relationship, it would be like a Stepford husband. Emotion and intensity is everything for me. I couldn't even stay on antidepressants because they took the emotion out of everything for me.

Thanks but no thanks.

Thank you jewels, girldetective, & abaya, I appreciate your input, and was most interested in the female response. The male response to this may be obvious, although differences may appear even to an absolutely gorgeous female cybernetic device. As with many things, labeling one group as stereotypical is usually a mistake. Just as there may be males with a lack of social skills who would be interested in such things, there may also be a group of women who would be accommodating to this idea. I recently saw an episode of TaxiCab Confessions where a women in her 30's admitted to being a virgin. She wasn't very attractive, slightly overweight, & I thought this might be a perfect example of a woman willing to try such a thing. Then again I may be completely wrong.................

I saw this thread & posted in it. Inanimate love dolls, whether blowup or silicon are not cybernetic organisms. They will never achieve sentience & will never be readily accepted by the masses. If cybernetics evolves far enough to produce a realistic human this could drastically change the lives of human beings across the world. Thats not even the same thing as a silicone love doll.

Let's see, life sized, realistic sex toy, Yeah I'm in-or rather it's in.

Fuck buddy that my hubby can't complain about. I would just want to be able to turn it off when I was fucking my hubby, would feel weird having it "watch" us, but hubby could watch me and Rofuko whenever he didn't feel up to hitting this.

Why have a vibrator when you could have a fuckbot?
