What a time to be alive....

...it is the dawn of the era of Robot Brothels. Where's Bender when you need him?

Speaking of which, "Robot Brothel" is an excellent band name. Preferably for someone else's band, of course.

1. Eew!
2. We all knew this was going to happen
3. The irony that this is in TX is mind boggling.

Fantasy author Piers Anthony wrote a novel entitled "Split Infinity" which is,set in a future where robots have become so sophisticated that they can successfully pass for human.

At the beginni g of the story, the protagonist meets a young woman and they soon undertake a casual physical relationship. He soon realizes that she seems to be his ideal mate in every way but this only makes him suspicious. He suspects she might be a robot and he forces a test on her which proves she is indeed a robot.

He discovers that she has been built and programmed specifically to be his ideal lover and to stay with him and protect him from harm. He is unable to learn who sent the robot or why he might need protection but he agrees to allow her to fulfill her purpose and stay with him as his lover.

As the narrative progresses, he gets to know her better and realizes that she, and other robots like her, have become more sophisticated than their makers thought. They have become self aware and fully sentient. He falls in love with her.

Chaos ensues and they eventually get married. Or maybe his twin from an alternate reality marries her. Somebody marries her.

Will see if I can find it.

Be aware that it's the first book in the "Blue Adept" trilogy. The novel ends with major plot points unresolved and you'll need to read the next two books to reach a conclusion.

Then he wrote (i.e. churned out) a bunch more sequels to the first three., but they're garbage. Not worth your time.

Yuck. I'm not inserting myself into anything that has been used by dozens of others..... alive or mechanical..... makes no difference.

Yeah, in my book (pun intended), he's the champion of the "great start then peter out to crap" style of writing. So much promise. So much disappointment.

sex with a robot? reminds me of my first wife.

I'm not inserting myself into anything that has been used by dozens of others

that's exactly what i said to my first wife.

It's a lot easier to sanitize a mechanical robot than a living human.

???

Any woman past the age of 20 has been "used by dozens of others," as have men.

I don't understand the "alive" part of your statement.

At work so I can't click the link. Plugged in (pun intended) for later.

Aaaaaaaaaa

Your first statement simply isn't true. To me, "dozens" means at least three dozen (or one would use the term "couple dozen"). You're saying women and men over 20 have had sex with 36 people????

"Alive" as compared to a robot..... which isn't alive. Simply put, alive equals human... with a pulse.

You've had some lady troubles in the past right? I don't think I was around for those threads but I suspect I'm starting to see what the problem may have been.
