Designed by men, for men: Why sex with robots does not have appeal among women
The growing market for sex technology is overlooking certain factors that could condemn robosexuality to objectification

Realistically how is a man going to design a good sex robot for a woman? Let a woman do that, they'll get what they want.
Women already have the perfect sex bot. It's called a Sybian.
And if that Sybian could pick you up, and stroke your thighs, massage your breasts, have hips and legs to simulate the sexual positions that it can't provide you, while still being what it is, there is a huge room for improvement on the design of the sybian and what great things it does
Syban is probably designed by a man.
...in the early 1980s, he teamed up with a female physician who believed in the idea. They spent the next 18 months gathering research, asking for insights and meeting with engineers who could bring the product to life.
From inception to prototyping to how the Sybian performs today wasn’t a “one and done” process. Years of research, conducting interviews and refinement went into its creation. As the creator himself says, “Sybian is not the result of what I thought it should be, but the collective input of many women.”
You can't seriously think the ultimate female orgasm machine was invented without women? Plenty of videos that will back me on the "ultimate" part!
My comment was totally unencumbered by facts or data.
But it’s not that too far fetched to think it could have been created by a man. For example, in the entire compendium of research around womens health, some not insignificant number of studies around things like menopause, thyroid insufficiency, and aging are not woman specific , and in many of the studies do not include women at all. And we base our medical approach to women on this research.
Women are constantly systematically overlooked and left out.
It’s not to far for me to think that some horney engineer made it.
In this case it’s fun to be wrong , as you have pointed out.
@shalafi Out of all the weird things I’ve looked up, I can’t believe this isn’t something I’ve heard of.
Probably a group of engineers so maybe not all men, Sybian is just like the penultimate vibrator, would be a fun engineering challenge, but it's also a marketable challenge which would be why it exists
Penultimate? Which one is the ultimate then?
Sybian doesn't do everything it could do, so i didn't want to call it the ultimate. But it does not seem to have any contenders that aren't knock offs so it does feel like a Pinnacle as a vibrator if not as a sex toy
I wanted to show for what comes next. Maybe I'm wrong and there isn't, but a sybian that can view your reactions and learn each users unique preferences would be an improvement
A sybian as the hips of a sex robot maybe? Like its fine, but its just a box , you get on to get off and then it is done with you. Theres no after care or anything else.
I guess a portable discreet version will require entirely new components that we probably cant manufacture yet, or are cost prohibited.
I dunno what the ultimate is, so penultimate seems a good choice to use if i can see improvements to it that dont yet exist
In this case penultimate is used to describe something that is nearly perfect. As if to say, there is little room for improvement.
Penultimate means "next to last", and that's it.
Why do you think that? I have seen and heard the use of the word "penultimate" as a literary device to praise something very good. It's not even that big of a stretch. I'm sorry people only ever use words to mean exactly how they are defined in the dictionary when around you. Also, words are meaningless without the people who use them. Why don't you try correcting people less and instead, when you think someone is using words incorrectly, try to understand in what way they could be correct.
After all my days on Reddit and Lemmy, I am still amused by how conversations about female sex robots can somehow morph into a heated discussion about grammar or definitions.
If it makes you feel any better that discussion could've easily happened at a dungeon or orgy
✅: Does what it's asked to do
✅: Doesn't talk back
I'd kill to get my wife one, but that $1,300 tag gives me sticker shock.
So you're saying you value human life at less than $1,300.
"My wife needs this or she'll die!"
I was more referring to the fact that they were very ready to say how they'd kill for it but the price was the thing stopping them. The maths is pretty easy but I think 3 people didn't get the joke.
Oh, uh, retracted. 👀 Oops.
No worries lol.
But with that money you can give her the ride of her life...
Repeatability is king! :)
Your phone is probably worth that much
Yes, but the vibrator in your phone isn't 75% of the user interface.
Was only trying to put 1300 dollars into a more palatable frame of reference
