"Starpery's CEO, Evan Lee, announced earlier this month that these AI-powered companions will come in both male and female forms. "

Article says male and female dolls.

Also girls have so many toys already, mean while use dudes are stuck with lotion and our right hand and sometimes you sit on your left hand till it gets tingly and then rub one out. It’s called the stranger

Look up a brand called Tenga.

Oh boy. You’re about to discover the wide world of male sex toys and it’s gonna rock you.

The Outer Limits 1995 episode about this didn’t end too well.

“The pursuit of technology exists to make human life easier and more pleasurable, but once such forces intrude upon the most intimate parts of our lives, we then forfeit our very soul.”- Kevin Conway aka The Control Voice

The Outer Limits was fucking awesome!

It still holds up pretty well too, if you ignore the dated tech… and unfeathered dinosaurs. 🤣

Thanks, I misspelled his first name, too.

Didn’t have my morning coffee and get fully woken up before that, lol

Yeah but where can one import these… for a friend?

HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com on 20 Jun 2024 15:01 collapse

Well I don't want something like that in my country so I to need to know and after I verify its really being imported and make sure it functions the way I think it does then Im going to make quite the petition I tell you what.

I’m. I’m counting the ad placeholders which there would be ads.

Do those sex dolls have replacement genitals or do people just pay thousands of bucks for what's essentially a throwaway item?

Cort@lemmy.world on 20 Jun 2024 19:58 next collapse

You get what you pay for?

DarkThoughts@fedia.io on 20 Jun 2024 22:38 collapse

Doesn't matter if you pay 50 or 5000 bucks. Male sex toys are suffering from wear & tear like crazy. Ask how many dildos a women managed to destroy in comparison.

TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world on 21 Jun 2024 08:30 collapse

I think that’s just the nature of male sex toys needing to be made out of a much softer material, unfortunately.

Kanda@reddthat.com on 21 Jun 2024 05:57 next collapse

I think they’re washable

How is that going to fix the tears? lol

AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world on 21 Jun 2024 11:22 collapse

I suppose there’s a little tank that you can fill if you really want tears.

Realdolls have removable washable and replaceable bits. I imagine these do as well

“Starpery’s vision extends beyond companionship. Their roadmap includes:

“No, no… see… it’s not a ‘sexbot’, it does the cleaning too!”

With the free trial, it actively creates messes to incentivize you to upgrade.

For those who like this kind of action… Which makes me wonder: If the Sex puppet has a software problem, is it still consenting?

If I’m going to have a sexy maid robot she needs to fold laundry and clean litterboxes too.

Do I have trust issues when I have to ask where the AI is gonna store our conversations, dick measurements, fetishes, turn-ons, times I start crying during copulation, times I stop crying during copulation, desires in life, and preferred types of lingerie; or are there legitimate infosec considerations?
