Would hit?

Anyways, back to the topic at hand. I really think that the public acceptance of these sex toys will be similar to video games. At first it was the realm of the nerds.. the social outcasts. But as technology improves, and less imagination is needed, they will be embraced by the mainstream (maybe to a lesser extent than video games, esp in our afraid-of-anything-sexual american culture). Simply put, the more realistic they get, the less creepy it will be.

I disagree with this b/c it's highly doubtful you'd have hid your video games at any point if you knew there was a possibility of a woman coming round your house.

What if it's Samus and you're playing Mega Man?

right, so it doesn't match up completely, but come on... this is one of my biggest pet peeves, when people take analogies and try to refute the point it is meant to make based on the analogy being flawed. All analogies are flawed. If they werent then they would all be "X is like X" instead of "X is like Y" because X is clearly different from Y in several ways and therefore there are always "flaws" in the comparison.

cliffs: stop being a nit picking homoqueer.

edit: also I think a simple solution to the issue of people seeing your android sex toy is to have each one sold with a "locker." Even though everyone would know whats in the locker, out of sight out of mind and whatnot. This unit could also be used to clean/sanitize/charge the android. Similarly if it were virtual reality instead of an android, I think people would be a lot less creeped out when they saw a small entertainment center type device.

cliffs: the hurdle of mainstream acceptance is not in the general idea, but in the details.
