    OK so men don't get good sex toys?

    Besides the obvious benifits of having a good quality, responsive, and reactive android for care of human beings, this technology can do more.

    At last men can have a real viable sex toy, one that can actually respond in all the complexity of a real woman. Heck, it could even train a neophyte to be more responsive to a human lover.

    I tell you what is creepy - womens sex toys! What is a womans replacement for a man? A STICK. The really advanced versions - as soft stick that vibrates. All the personality, warmth, emotions, even uniqueness of the individual male - all can be shrunk down to a fancy stick.

    What does that say about how women really view men?

    And this guy is creepy for creating something truely complex and responsive?
