To think a "breathing" sex robot should be illegal

Apparently there is an AI sex robot that now has the feature of breathing (there's a video in the article in the link).

I don't really care how these ultra realistic sex dolls might help people for various reasons. I think in a world where men overwhelming treat women as unfeeling objects (yeah okay NAMALT), further blurring the lines between womens bodies and inanimate objects you can do what you want to is dangerous.

I think they should be illegal.

Is it cynical of me to presume it needs to breathe so it can be suffocated?

They should be so illegal prison time is involved.

cherrypie111 · 14/01/2021 18:38

Well thankfully laws are decided by those with common sense, not MN hysteria

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 14/01/2021 18:39

It's my opinion that the majority of men who use sex dolls do so because they want compliance and silence while they do what they want do them.

The fact that these dolls now "breathe" is even creepier.

TheoriginalLEM · 14/01/2021 18:39

Hmmm - do they do male versions and should they also be banned?

Not sure how i feel about it really. Maybe i'm niave

CherryBlossomTree7 · 14/01/2021 18:40

All of these robots should be illegal.

Weird, creepy and just not necessary.

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 14/01/2021 18:40

They all look so young too. Vom.

That was my very first thought about the purpose of it 'breathing' - so it can be strangled/suffocated.

Godimabitch · 14/01/2021 18:42

If it imitates being strangled, yes, otherwise no, just realism.

The kid ones are a fucking abomination though.

Suzi888 · 14/01/2021 18:42

It’s well known that some people, of a certain persuasion can escalate in their undesirable behaviours too.

Books>Photos>porn videos> dolls>real life human.

It’s sick, YANBU op.

StillWeRise · 14/01/2021 18:44

yeah, mine too
OTOH owning one of these would be a good indicator of a probably sick, abusive man. So when the matriarchal revolution comes it will be so much easier to round them up.

Happytentoes · 14/01/2021 18:48

Sorry, I didn’t click on the link, because it’s just wrong.
Whoever dreamed this up is a sick ticket, and if I ever met a man who used one, I would run a mile.

How many women strangle and suffocate men during sex? How many women have "accidentally" murdered a man in a gruesome "sex game gone wrong"?

How many men can't wear a mask because it gives them flashbacks to being suffocated?

That's your answer.

RetailGail · 14/01/2021 18:51

if it saves a real person from being abused then possibly has its use

op, how on earth did you come across that article?

wellthatsunusual · 14/01/2021 18:53

So it's morally wrong to replicate sex with a non consenting child but fine to replicate sex with a non consenting adult woman?
cherrypie111 · 14/01/2021 18:55

Wonder if posters also disagree with reborn dolls.. or is the hysteria saved for a 'breathing' lump of latex

ghostyslovesheets · 14/01/2021 18:58

sad to see some people dismissing women's genuine concerns about male sexual violence minimised as 'hysteria' hmm

Cabinfever10 · 14/01/2021 19:00

@cherrypie111 I'm honestly just a creeped out by new born dolls as I am with sex dolls.
Why do you ask?

It's not concerns about violence to women

It's a bloody doll. Thinking a new law needs to be made for an inanimate object is ridiculous

Because both could be used to recreate illegal activities in the same way.

Hence why I asked. As many find reborn dolls ok but will often come out against any form of sex doll

Until the creepy bastard wants to try it out on a real woman. As a pp said, these things escalate.

Reborn dolls do creep me out. They look too much like a baby who's only just died. And yes, the first time I saw one I'm afraid I grabbed it (intending to start CPR) and only realised as I picked it up that it was only a fucking creepy doll.

My first thought on reading the OP was that this was to allow practice of suffocation.

BornIn78 · 14/01/2021 19:08

I remember watching a documentary a few years ago about sex dolls. The manufacturer took them along to a sex/porn exhibition in (I think) Germany. They allowed all of the men that visited the stand to ‘try them out’, they were allowed to do whatever they liked to the dolls except for having sex with them, to see just how real and human the dolls felt.

Preferred method of “testing” was men putting their hands around the dolls throat to strangle them, second was punching them, third was fisting them, both anally and vaginally. That’s what men did knowing they were being filmed.

Ostryga · 14/01/2021 19:10

Why do sex dolls exist? Because men can’t do the things they want to do living, breathing women. And often if they do end up doing the things they want, women end up dead.

Sometimes I wish we could lock men away with these dolls and let them do their filth without harming another woman ever again.

wecantconsenttothis.uk/ - and if anyone want to see just exactly what men are trying to get away with, just have a read. It’s horrific.
