A New Jersey company says it has developed “the world’s first sex robot,” a life-size rubber doll that’s designed to engage the owner with conversation rather than lifelike movement.
At a demonstration at the Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas on Saturday, the dark-haired, negligee-clad robot said “I love holding hands with you” when it sensed that its creator touched its hand.

Douglas Hines, founder of Lincoln Park, N.J.-based True Companion LLC, said Roxxxy can carry on simple conversations. The real aim, he said, is to make the doll someone the owner can talk to and relate to.“Sex only goes so far – then you want to be able to talk to the person,” Hines said.
The phrases that were demonstrated were prerecorded, but the robot will also be able to synthesize phrases out of prerecorded words and sounds, Hines said. The laptop will receive updates over the Internet to expand the robot’s capabilities and vocabulary. Since Hines is a soccer fan, it can already discuss Manchester United, he said. It snores, too.
Owners will also be able to select different personalities for Roxxxy, from “Wild Wendy” to “Frigid Farrah,” Hines said. He’s charging somewhere from $7,000 to $9,000 for the robot, including the laptop, and expects to start shipping in a few months.
Creepy sociopaths rejoice!
It probably has a head ache.
Ok, it can’t be just me, but is this thing HIDEOUS or what!? Could they not find an attractive woman who would submit to life-cast, or a sculptor who could create a better looking face? Have they not visited the Real Doll website and noticed, although lifeless, the dolls at least look human? We’re a long way from Stepford, folks.. a long, long way.
If there is a male and female… I see puppet sex “Team America” style. That would be sweet. Two synthetics caressing until the batteries run out.
This doll doesn’t even have really erotic lingerie. Lots of room for inprovement, certainly, but remember the first computers?
Maybe I’ll be able to enjoy my old age after all.
You guys (^^ above) will still be going to the restaurant and movies alone.
How much for the model that will STFU ?
What’s the point if she can’t cook yet
Can Roxxxy give me a handjob? That’s the only thing that matters.
“I am for you, Douglas Hines”, apologies to the original Star Trek. There the sexy but robotic woman said “I am for you, James T. Kirk” before trying to suck all the salt (or whatever) out of his Canadian bacon.
The salt creature wasn’t the one that said “I’m for you”…
The correct episode was that planet that had the defensive system where a genetical matched “weapon” was deployed and if it touched you, it killed you nearly instantly.
They appeared accompanied by some strange wailing music.
The salt creature could kill anyone it wanted, not just Kirk.
If our civilization doesn’t fall then yes I expect people to have electronic/robotic companions. I need somebody to vacuum the floor and keep the place cleaned up.
All I can say is “Ewwww!”
she likes waterboarding..
how about booting her twice 😉
