Anyone who enjoys making out with inanimate objects will be thrilled by the news that an American inventor has manufactured a life-size female sex robot called Roxxxy, equipped with flesh-like skin, a smattering of playful conversation, a busty chest and an insatiable appetite for getting it on.
More exciting though is the promise that Roxxxy will soon be followed a by a male sex doll who will replicate the characteristics of a real guy.
Ideas man Douglas Hines unveiled Roxxxy at the Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas on Saturday. ‘‘She can’t vacuum, she can’t cook, but she can do almost anything else if you know what I mean,’’ he said, which may have been a nudge-nudge reference to her ability to knit, juggle and perform long division.
In an emotional tribute, Hines explained that the inspiration for Roxxxy sprang from the death of a friend in the September 11 terror attacks, whose personality Hines tried to replicate via a computer program. He obviously got a bit distracted along the way as the result of this exercise was a 170cm tall rubber woman with massive breasts.
But this is no ordinary sex doll, not like the ones you take to a day-night match at the MCG.
Roxxxy comes with different personalities. One is creepily described as “young and naïve”, another as “mature and matriarchal”, there’s a hussy called Wild Wendy, an even more adventurous gal with the self-explanatory handle S&M Susan and then there’s Frigid Farrah who is “reserved and shy”, and aimed at the self-loathing masochist corner of the male market who want to pay US $7000 (yep, seven grand) for a sex doll that refuses to put out.
Once inflated these dolls are likely to walk off the shelves. But it’s the pioneering work on the male sex doll which is even more fascinating.
It’s expected that the male prototype – let’s call it the Wazza – will also come with different settings, the first of which is domestic. For 98 per cent of its battery life Wazza will be set to domestic and start the day by staring into the pantry saying:
“Where’s the instant coffee?”
“It’s right in front of you Wazza.”
“I can’t see it.”
“It’s there, just on front of you.”
“Can you find it?”
“It’s there.”
“Nope, can’t see it anywhere.”
Due to a wiring error Wazza will also be completely deaf to any requests involving household chores but will often shout involuntarily while watching television, and has been programmed with the two key catch phrases of “Ballllllllllllll” during the winter months and “Gawwwnnnnnn” during summer.
Switched to party setting, Wazza will explain that he’s got an old mate in town and has to pop out for a couple of quiet ones – “Nothing too silly” – and return home 11 hours later covered in garlic sauce.
At this point there is a fair chance he will slip into the first of his two erotic settings, playful, where he taps his owner on the shoulder, grins, and then goes to sleep.
However, in his red-hot erotic mode, Wazza will be programmed to deliver up to seven minutes of intimacy, starting with a perfunctory 90-second backrub and concluding with a question about whether it’s bin night.
