Yes, give me a medal. You see what kind of crap I read for you knuckleheads!

Okay, Matt McMullen, makes better looking women then God—and they keep their mouth shut while you’re watching Jose Aldo duke it out with that Irish-American twerp. Looks, though, is as far as it goes. I could see using these things for beautiful clothes hangers, but dragging a headless 90 pound doll out of a box precisely the size of a coffin, popping the customized head on it, and then having sex with it?

If I’m that desperate I’ll settle for my calloused and oft broken hand.

There are many fascinating aspects of this article for the science fiction writer. Sexbots are still about a decade away. These things are just big dolls, and most of the customers prefer they don’t talk, which gives you an idea as to the social skill set that drives a person to screw a doll. The one customer that talked to the author extensively was a former atheism crusader and published author who canned his mail order Russian bride and replaced her with a doll. The guy is the applicator of all douche bags.

The artist though, McMullen, has some ethics and has refused to make animal and child sex dolls. He seems to regard this as art and doesn’t want to push into the creepy zone any farther than necessary. He did try a hip actuator, and seems to think it’s going to be another 10 years before they have a doll that fucks you back. The things start at 5k. Nine out of ten purchases are by men.

It’s really incredible how long this article is. The author accessed some futurists who are convinced that intelligent sex bots will be a real thing by about 2050. That does leave some food for thought. I wonder how long it will take before animal rights activists insist that sexbots have rights and need to be emancipated.

The atheist guy was a nice character study who could surely serve as the model for a protagonist in an Andy Nowicki novel. This guy is turning to sex dolls because the Similac generation of prostitutes are too hefty for his taste and all have tattoos. An interesting side fact is that these things are so realistic the military orders them without the genitalia to serve as simulated victims for first response scenarios.

I don’t think the world at large is too receptive yet. As I was reading this article, which is profusely illustrated with photos, the people on the bus kept inching as far away as possible.
