RealDoll, after almost 20 years of selling "the world's finest love doll," is developing an animated, robotic, artificially intelligent head that can be switched onto existing RealDoll bodies. The purpose, according to RealDoll's founder and CEO Matt McMullen, is to "arouse someone on an emotional, intellectual level, beyond the physical."
If you haven't heard of RealDoll before, the company makes expensive ($5,000-$10,000, £3,200-£6,400) but very realistic sex dolls. The dolls (which come in male and female varieties) have fully poseable skeletons, silicone skin, and are roughly the same weight and size as a real human. The dolls have interchangeable faces and orifices.
The reality that Westworld and AI imagined decades ago has arrived. What are the ethical implications? Would you be willing to use one?

Sex noises are one of my pet-peeves. I watch porn with the volume muted because the noises are almost always worse than no noise at all. I'm also bangin' this intelligent good-looking fun woman but she sounds like a chihuahua in bed. I'm bangin this other Filipina who goes 'oo-oo-oo' like a gorilla and then gets louder and grumblier like that noise when you defeat a croc in Donkey Kong Country. And what can you do about it? You have everything to lose and nothing to gain bringing her stupid noises up.
Good vocalizations are one of those things in women that are extremely underrated, like one who can properly wipe her ass....dissapointingly rare. *sigh*
