"We accept that, yes, there will be robotic sex toys..." Says Professor Brooks

The rise of sex robots and pleasure machines

Australian-born Prof Brooks, former head of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab, said it was inevitable, and there was precedent, that such technology would be used for sexual purposes.

"Every technology that we've had, there has been a sexual driver of it," he said.

"I mean, that's certainly true of photographs in the 19th century; and home video players were really driven by sex; and of course the web has been a major source of sex.

"Yeah, there will be (sexbots) but it is not specific to robots per se."

Prof Brooks doesn't see the sexbots arriving any time soon.

"There are two versions of it, I suppose," he said.

"We accept that, yes, there will be robotic sex toys, remote presence sex where someone is controlling a robot and stuff.

"But there's also been some more outrageous stuff (predicted) – where people marry robots."

However not everyone thinks the idea of human-robot relations is so outrageous.

"At first, sex with robots might be considered geeky, but once you have a story like 'I had sex with a robot and it was great!' appear in a magazine like Cosmo, I'd expect many people to jump on the bandwagon," artificial intelligence researcher David Levy, who completed his PhD on the subject of human-robot relationships, told LiveScience.

Yes, you heard right! Don't be afraid, let us accept our sexual-robotic-dominators/dominatrix's! Bring it on I say!

Victorians would give up sex, partner or car before internet

Herald Sun

September 19, 2009 12:01am

Internet addict
Some respondents also claimed they could give up chocolate or their daily coffee in favour of the worldwide web / File
  • Victorians would give up sex for internet
  • Other states less likely to give up partner
  • Internet use has tripled in some areas
IT'S official - Victorians simply can't live without the internet.

A new survey shows most of the state would give up sex, our car or even our partner before surrendering the beloved internet.

When given a list of things they could survive without for a month, seven out of 10 Victorians said they would rather give up their partner than their internet - higher than the national average, the Herald Sun reports

I have to admit at this point, that I may live in Western Australia, but I am Victorian. And yes, I would probably give up the sex before the net.

Hell, theres a lot of spicey stuff out there on that big darn world wide web ;)

What would you do?

Matthew Johns' wife Trish stands by her man over group sex scandal

THE wife of shamed Footy Show host Matthew Johns last night issued the ultimate condemnation of her husband's role in a group sex scandal, declaring: "I certainly wouldn't like it to be my daughter."

On the day Johns was stood down by both Channel 9 and the Melbourne Storm, Trish Johns broke a seven-year silence to say she was standing by her husband, The Daily Telegraph reports




To all concerned...including Maxine Mckew MP, perhaps when 19 year old girls grow some brains and stop "playing the field" (pardon the pun) then this sort of thing wouldn't be such an issue. Is it bad? Sure! But when its happening all the time, even outside of NRL!!!!!! then please, give the media beat-ups a rest, and focus on the real issue here. Teach your children well parents!
