shadowofman Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 At what point would you feel sexually threatened by a machine? Dildo, Real Doll, Android programmed to pleasure, Machine avatar with a Human at the wheel. At what point does a toy become more than just a toy?
Author shadowofman Posted May 5, 2010 Author Posted May 5, 2010 Really? No takers? This is a fascinating question to me. Assuming that such masturbatory habits didn't interfere with normal relationship sex. Ladies, would you let your husband have sex with a doll?
Els Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 I certainly wouldn't mind, although I suspect he would prefer the real thing. Considering the number of toys he's bought me, I figure he doesn't mind either. I'd say that for us the budget is the limit. As long as the toy isn't alive. A German Shepherd would probably be problematic.
Author shadowofman Posted May 5, 2010 Author Posted May 5, 2010 Well that is what I'm asking. Define alive. It will be not to far into the future when there are walking, talking, sexbots. Use your imagination? What about a maid robot that services each of you sexually?
Els Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 Doubt it'd occur in my lifetime. Even if it did though, the lines between artificial and natural intelligence shouldn't be too blurred yet, so yes, it should be cool.
Author shadowofman Posted May 5, 2010 Author Posted May 5, 2010 Technology increases faster than we predict, and sex is most often in the forefront of new technologies. I'm 30 and I predict affordable sex maids by the time I'm 60.
Author shadowofman Posted May 5, 2010 Author Posted May 5, 2010 How about sex in virtual spaces like second life? The anonymity is nearly the same as an artificial intelligence and the medium is electronic. If your spouses avatar has sex and they don't touch themselves, is that cheating? If they are masturbating along side virtual sex, is that worse? This should prompt more discussion because real people are behind the wires.
bananalaffytaffy Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 Why would I want to have sex with a toy, doll, or imaginary plaything when I can have beautiful mindblowing sex with the man I love? The man that knows the most intimate parts of me inside and out and knows how to make my toes curl? OP- In reading your posts, I'm starting to think that you have serious intimacy issues.
TaraMaiden Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 No, actually, intimacy is the least of his problems. What he actually craves is the ability to be able to enjoy sex to its fullest, without the play of emotions. What he needs is a GF who behaves like an android/avatar/automaton. Someone who will be completely neutral about him fulfilling his every desire with every woman he wishes to do so wiith, and not have to deal with the guilt hurt feelings, the lack of respect, the one-on-one fidelity... because every other woman he enjoys sex with, will know from the outset that this is purely for the sex.... he's not into a relationship, he's just into having a really good time. And guess what? if he does fall in love with another woman - the GF will still be there for him to have sex with because.... it doesn't register with her, as she's an android etc, etc.... What shadowofman really wants, is a completely committed, loving, generous and liberal open relationship. but with the woman he's with, that's never going to happen. So in fact, all he's doing is beating his head against the wall and flogging this problem to pieces. if he can't have open sex with anyone else, at least he can vent his frustration by talking about it. Shadow, this is getting a little obsessive. I think you need to talk to us less, and to your GF more. This isn't going to get better. It's going to get worse. You know why? Because you have to cut off a part of you that is desperate to draw breath, but you've acceded to your GF's desires to quash it and put it away. My question would be - what has she done for you in return? How has she met you half way? What has she done to at least try to make that desire of yours less urgent and evident? Where has she had to compromise?

Where has she had to compromise? I've wondered this but didn't want to ask. I'm glad you did. But I think SOM was just getting tired of everything being about him and his issues and so wanted to introduce a topic that would be compelling to him in a non-emotional way. My H and I have talked about the sybian before. Everything I've seen and read about it says its just amazing. It has a HUGE price tag. And I know men who would never allow something like that in their home because of insecurities and fear of being replaced by a machine. Its an interesting concept, when does a machine cross the line. For some, anything will cross the line - though oddly enough the first vibrators were used by doctors. For others, even cyber sex is not seen as cheating and is no big deal because its not in person and its a stranger. CCL

I know I would not be able to go along with a relationship such as the one you've described. It's just not my thing, and I wouldn't be able to meet anyone half way on something like that. I require fidelity in my relationships, sounds like she does too. If that's not what he's looking for, then why does he keep wasting her (and his) time?
Author shadowofman Posted May 5, 2010 Author Posted May 5, 2010 Ug. Im not trying to get all deep about this. This is my fun thread. If you use a vibrator then you are guilty of having sex with a robot. I don't have sex with robots. My question is at what point does a machine become a threat to you. Obviously you ladies seem to have a problem at some point in the line-up. Is it the fleshlight? A rubber torso? The real doll? I don't use or want to use any of them. (Actually I would try the doll. Haha) A full on android, thats another story. If I had a sybian, I bet you the thing that you couldn't resist hopping on just to test it. Yeesh.
BubbleFreak Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 I can only say what would be acceptable for me. I would be fine with my boyfriend using a fleshlight, his right hand, heck even a banana peel as masturbating is normal... but no if it was an entire sex doll I would not be happy. It would make me uncomfortable as I would suspect my boyfriend was imagining the doll was someone other than me. An entire sex doll is symbolic of a whole other person and not just wanting to jerk off using an "aid".
Author shadowofman Posted May 5, 2010 Author Posted May 5, 2010 An appropriate response to the OP. Thank you for your honesty.
ladydesigner Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 I would be total game for this and I would not mind my H doing things with a doll or whatnot. This kind of stuff does not bother me. It is lying and sneaking around with a REAL human being that would be a problem.
Author shadowofman Posted May 6, 2010 Author Posted May 6, 2010 Obviously to you a machine with a human behind it would not be acceptable to you. Like if your husband was having virtual sex on Second Life? You can simply create an avatar and enter into virtual orgies with real people behind the curtains. Is this less a threat than any other form of webcam-ming since the visuals are computer generated? Or is any sort of human interaction off limits? And then the question is, what about an advances artificial intelligence? One that is hard to distinguish from a human, like Jude Law's charactor in AI.
Fight4Me Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 If my husband insisted on partaking in this sort of thing, I'd divorce him because I find this to be creepy on a whole new level. But to each his own (as long as you keep your robot to yourself and out of my way:p). Now I'm going to have nightmares a'la iRobot. :laugh:LOL
Author shadowofman Posted May 6, 2010 Author Posted May 6, 2010 So at what point does a female's sex toy become creepy? Most women own dildos.
