To fantasise about a robot?

If you could make a carbon copy of the person you’re attracted to (but not with), i.e., a living breathing robot, would you? You could programme them to be loving and kind. They may occasionally malfunction of course. But imagine being able to have sex with the object of your affection. Would you do it?

I think it would be wrong but I don’t think I could resist the temptation.

No.
I think you'll get your chance in this lifetime, it may not be perfect but functioning. Grin
The only thing similar to a robotic welcome in my bedroom is my vibrator.

I’m sure they can do great things with synthetic bum cracks nowadays.

If the richie robot doesn’t talk back, cleans up, doesn’t smell, cooks and makes wild passionate love to you OP, then no, you are defos on the right track

mokapot · 03/04/2019 22:53

The shin matters.....Hmm

GummyGoddess · 03/04/2019 22:54

For all you know he's completely covered in scales under his clothes!

Why can you not just say to Richard that you fancy him and would he like to go for a drink/come over for a meal? I'm shy, but could definitely manage that via whatsapp or similar. It's how I asked out DH when I was 16!

@AI203 Mood I'm sometimes in, it'd just seize up.

I want him to smell and malfunction though so I can trick myself into believing he’s real.

This is my kind of thread!

What if the penis on Richard the robot was actually a vibrator with a rabbit attachment available at the press of a button.....

To be fair, if I had a robot, he/she/they would be doing the chores, helping to wrangle the smallest child, prepping food for me to cook, taking the dog out for a pee, all those things. Then I could concentrate on the nicer things like reading with my kids, some artwork and smiling.

I do have a very genuine concern though. What if I was out with RoboRich and we bumped into the real Richard? I would have a lot of explaining to do.

OP you’ve gone from a love spell to make him fall in love with you to getting a robot of him.

This is now falling into the “see someone qualified” category of crushes.

user1473878824 · 03/04/2019 23:04

Also having now read the full thread, you seem utterly desperate just to have sex with this guy, not for love. Is this something you’ve experienced before or is it just with him?

I wouldn’t want him to have a rabbit on his penis. Just a normal penis is fine. Thing is, I really want it to be Richard’s penis, whatever that looks like big/small whatever. I genuinely would take the risk of a small Richard penis than a design-my-own rabbit-attachment large one.

I want to make love to him but would be happy with some fun sex.

I've just come up to feed dd desperately trying not to laugh at the magic thread.... It all went tits up when I found this one and she's wide awake. Got any magic for that op?

Detroit tho. Marcus or Connor I'm not choosy either robot will do.

Greenlegobox · 03/04/2019 23:19

What if it turns out to be a little mushroom? Would you change your mind and design your own then?

A mushroom would be disappointing but if I had to commit beforehand then I’d still risk the real version, whatever that may look like.

trending not all Richards are arseholes. Some are the best human beings you will ever meet - this is based on a scientific 20 year study of a Richard Grin

Greenlegobox · 03/04/2019 23:29

But some are Dicks (I'll get my coat).

sockatoe · 03/04/2019 23:37

Do you have any good relationships in your life OP? A mum, dad, teacher (!), friend? In all honesty you sound like a love sick teenager, smacked up on Buffy and Twilight. I think a real human interaction during daylight outside of your bedroom might help? Love is wonderful but it has to be 2 sided. You deserve someone who chooses you, not who is enchanted or programmed to. Someone who will think of things to make you happy that you could never think of yourself.
But before all of that, you need to be happy alone. That you are ok. A nice person with a fulfilling life. Go work on that before ordering a wand or robot from Amazon. I mean that in a nice way

mirime · 03/04/2019 23:44

You need to watch Futurama. There a cautionary episode all about the dangers of dating robots.

Someone who will think of things to make you happy that you could never think of yourself. I can’t even imagine this. I think of myself as having high self esteem but I’ve never been in that kind of relationship despite having long term relationships. I actually welled up reading that.

I have a normal fulfilling job, a family around me. I’m not a teenager trapped in my bedroom.

Thank you for your genuine concern though. I mean that honestly.

Have you thought about capturing Real Richard and keeping him as a pet?
