Um, Ick.
I'm sure that people who invent new kinds of robots all have perfectly well-adjusted social lives, play some ball on the weekends, take the kids to the movies, get together with friends and cook up a big batch of corn smut chili. I'm sure that's the case.
I've heard of robots that learn, robots that walk, robots that build cars, Real Dolls, robots that turn into cars, robots that act as companions to lonely people, and even teledildonics. All very exciting developments in the world of technology, except for that one of those things is incurably foul.
And I'm sure that the minds that came up with the innovation of making robots with soft, human-like skin are perfectly together people with sane minds and clean habits who have never even heard of that one incurably foul thing and thought that it needed to be a robot.
I'm just saying. I don't know what's creepier; a killer robot that mimics a person, or the weird shit that lonely people in their basements are thinking right now.
I think I need to go take a walk. And a shower. And a brain enema.

The hyper-fastidiousness is being quite cute. The only thing I am knowing that would be allowing somebody to be staying that way is living sheltered. That is to be envied.

If you're going to live a sheltered life though, you ought not to taint it by having a remote controlled prostethetic sexual organ wired up to the interweb. That's just me, though.

I'm really afraid of the possibility of convergence between terminator and teledildonics technologies. When our new robot overlords have a choice between fucking us and killing us, concurrently or consecutively, our days on this earth are numbered, and likely to be spent in humiliation and pain.
