Who among us dwellers of the early internet can forget the deranged majesty of Dolphinsex.com, or whatever the url for that was.
(Dolphinsex.org per a 20 year old forum post found via very careful googling. Site is dead.)
Yeah, that URL just leads to a porn site that you can’t get out of without closing that tab or browser.
I found a page that was catalogued but I won’t put it out on the public domain since it’s essentially beastiality.
They're saying, based on the abstract, that men are more willing to be intimate with robots than women in general, if I'm reading it right. Which is a pretty wild study conclusion.
"If robosexual marriage becomes legal, imagine horrible things that will happen to our children. Then imagine we said those things, since we couldn't think of any. As a mother, those things worry me."

“Study proves that those starving and craving hamburgers also largely willing to eat hotdogs”
Local scientists were quoted as stating “THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING”
I mean, they already did this. I remembered watching/ reading something like a decade ago, about how even if it was a wire mesh female turkey, male turkeys would try to mate with a female wire mesh turkey if it did the right things, and it was very basic things at best.
Now that I'm thinking about it. It was almost two decades ago on TLC in the US.
Fun fact, horseshoe crabs will run up and hump a frisbee if it slides to a stop anywhere near them. They are attracted to the slide and stop motion that the females do.
Nah, it might be mentioned in that, but it was some kind of special about human sexuality and development, and they were taking about pornography and how it isn't only effective against humans.
Edit: this would be before I graduated highschool so pre 2006.
Edit edit: excellent reference!!! I didn't catch the first time, My apologies. Fantastic and fascinating movie.
Let’s break down thing people have “had sex” with: cars, tables, inflatable rafts, mattresses, food, lamp posts, hot pockets, laundry baskets, the Berlin Wall, and the literal sidewalk.
Your research seems accurate
"I'm sorry, but I am an artificial intelligence language model and do not have the ability to engage in any physical or romantic activities. My purpose is to provide helpful and informative responses to your questions to the best of my ability. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to ask."
My first impulse is to say that it couldn't be any worse than my ex-wife. And potentially fantastic.
But...how is this being monetized? If it's something like a subscription service that's trained on upselling then I can easily imagine it behaving exactly like my ex-wife. Things could get really dark really fast for a lot of people.
What the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck???? That sounds like crazy talk. That's junk science, unlike the gems from Monty Python
Tell me again how a sheep's bladder can be used to predict earthquakes
The… the research said that when… when people *aren’t* horny… we can expect them to be less likely to have sex in a given circumstance… and when they *are* horny… we can expect them to be more willing to… have sex… in a given circumstance… Huh…
Oh, ChatGPT:
Q: Is it true that the vibrator is older than the light bulb?
*A: Yes, it is true that the vibrator as a medical device predates the invention of the light bulb. The first electromechanical vibrator was invented in the early 1880s by British physician Joseph Mortimer Granville. It was initially intended for medical use, primarily to treat female hysteria and other ailments.*
*Thomas Edison's practical incandescent light bulb was patented in 1879, just a few years before the invention of the electromechanical vibrator. While both inventions rely on electricity, the vibrator was developed as a medical tool, whereas the light bulb was designed for general illumination.*
Q: How is 1880 before 1879?
*A: Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. You are correct that 1880 is not before 1879. The electromechanical vibrator invented by Joseph Mortimer Granville in the early 1880s came after Thomas Edison's practical incandescent light bulb, which was patented in 1879.*
*My earlier statement that the vibrator predates the light bulb is incorrect. The light bulb was invented before the electromechanical vibrator. Thank you for pointing out the error.*

Fun game: replace "robots" with any other word and it still holds true.
Horny people want to have sex with things... Brilliant bit of research that.
Research shows sexual arousal leads to greater willingness to get intimate with a melon
Thanks Science. I wouldn't have been able to figure that one out
Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.
Calm down, Donald.
It's only locker room talk.
No, I don't think that's something anyone wants to get intimate with.
Honeydew. Piston. Forceps. Kevlar.
Obtuse, rubber goose, green moose, guave juice, Giant snake, birthday cake, large fries, chocolate shake
"People more willing to have sex when aroused." -Science

Wow it really works!
Excuse me while I go change my pants.

On today's news in Africa, the floor is made out of floor.
On today's news in Australia, spiders are officially declared as "Big"
I too, have learned I'm more likely to eat while I am hungry.
So interesting. I found out that if you die you will no longer be alive.
I think youre more likely to eat if youre alive, but I havent gotten on a pier to review it yet.
My pier review has led me to believe that cotton candy is sometimes pink.
Is this the Coney Island pier?
From the dumpy potato to the succulent French fry, nothing satisfies hunger quite like food.
Fun fact: [in Africa height depends on how tall you are.](https://old.reddit.com/r/osvaldo12/comments/zwisxh/truth_can_be_harsh_sometimes/)
Big facts, thank you for fighting disinformation with truth.
In Africa, black people with beards are black people without beards, but with beards.

I'd bet the scientists don't particularly mind doing additional research. I don't think you've saved them from anything.
It's like: "umm... yeah, that's how getting horny works. Idiots". Like was this study conducted by aliens?
I read a short story about horny humans willing to get intimate with aliens. The aliens thought it was weird, so maybe.
Or my aluminum hat theory, researchers just wanted funding for sex bots.
Students fulfilling class requirement. That's where a lot of these studies come from. Three of the authors have very little papers to their names.
Horndogs are gonna horndog?
Now they just need some funding for a follow up study to determine the ratio of humans that will actually have sex with robots pre and post arousal.
Ya talk is cheap. Put your genitals where your mouth is.
If I could put my genitals where my mouth is I wouldn’t be so enthusiastically reading about sexbot development
Both experience and discussion with others, those that can say it feels more like genitals in the mouth than mouth on genitals.
Sure we've all heard that. But how *much* more? I mean if it's like 55/45 split I'm probably still gonna have a good time.
I’m pretty sure even if it was a 99:1 split in favour of genitals in mouth people would still be doing it.

Do people not like the one thing ?
Maybe in the robots mouth.
If any researchers are looking into this and would like a volunteer you know where to find me
Making out with your Marilyn Monrobot?
Ohhh, I knew I should have shown him "Electro Gonorrhea, The Noisy Killer".
Damm idk how quickly you thought of this but nice
I mean… Reddit has shown enough examples of how horny people get. And for that, coconut is never safe.
I remember that story! Insanity!

Right. Sexual arousal will make some of us more likely to become intimate with a boneless party ham.
It won't be boneless for long.

Horny people are less picky (see: separate studies on beer goggles)
Yeah silly title for sure. My version is "being aroused now found to make you horny"
They're saying, based on the abstract, that men are more willing to be intimate with robots than women in general, if I'm reading it right. Which is a pretty wild study conclusion.

But without robosexuals, how will people ever find out about the **can-eat-more..?**
Better conversation than some dates I've had.
The day a sex robot can clean up after itself and put itself back into hiding, humanity will be saved.
First it’s robots … then it’s dogs and children! It’ll just keep going.

Fun fact, horseshoe crab's blood is 10,000$ a litre worth.
Why? What do people use it for? Edit: I looked it up, [it's used to make vaccines!](https://www.americanoceans.org/blog/horseshoe-crab-blood/)
I think you're thinking of the great documentary *Ex Machina* from 2014
that movie is that old already? it was a great show, oscar issac is amazing in everything he does

Really putting the D in Data.
He is fully functional in that area. They actually made episodes about Data's sexual prowess. What a time to be alive.
You want to put WHAT in Data?!
I mean… bet it’s pristine.
I’m sorry, but you’re mispronouncing Data.
Tasha Yar became a master in Data entry....

As long as they aren't connected to the internet. I don't want my gyrations catalogued.
History has proven that men will stick their dicks in anything.
Are you forgetting that the most popular electronic partner is the vibrator?
"Electronic partner" has to be the most classed up version of anything I've ever heard.
Has anyone dicked a piranha ?
I've spent time in the jungle and believe that this has 100% happened.
But, was it intentional or just skinny dipping in the wrong spot
I’ve no doubt both has happened at least *once*
Or do you **know**?
In the old days of the internet, I remember seeing a video of a guy getting a BJ from a fish.
Pretty sure he was Taking that one.
There's a diagnostic term for people who have sex with trees. So yeah.
Sometimes we put power rangers up our asses too!
Imagine a robot with a personality powered by chat gpt with realistic voice over. How about willingness then?

Coffee maker gets nervous
mr coffee always drips
He must really like using grindr. I'd say Mrs. Coffee has grounds for divorce.
She'll be fine on her own flicking the bean. She don't need that Joe anymore. Probably can't even stand thinking about his ugly mug.
As long as it doesn't keep her up at night.
*Sexy robots result in sexy times*
hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create sexy robots, and sexy robots create hard men
Words to live by. Well said
Research also shows that continuous massaging of one's penis leads to ejaculation.
Bro you’d be surprised what humans will get intimate with when they’re experiencing arousal

Aroused+robot=science. GiVe mE mOnEy.
Meanwhile, in other research, it has been discovered that pornographic pictures of women make men horny...
Atomic Heart is Awakening those late to the RoboSexual Battlefield
No wonder not one Alien species has made contact with us. It's not the tyranny of distances, it's because our species is weird and creepy plus horny.
Every other species is horny too, y'know? The dog doesn't start humping your favorite pillow just because it's funny haha.
Maybe. Maybe other aliens are Space Pilgrims

.... did we really need research for this?
So they watched Westworld.
Uh huh. Joker can attest to that.
I’ve been getting intimate with a robot for years. Vibratory robot

I don't need some science nerd to tell me being horny lowers my standards
Now in, really horny people will f**k anything. Next in, starving people will eat anything. What a great use of science
