You know,...we truly are in trouble when we've come to creating our
sex partners. Of course, God set the example by taking Adams rib and
manufacturing a sex partner for him. But Eve was able to reproduce.
And we all are the result of that mistake by God. I wonder, do you
think that if every man and woman were issued a sex robot that the
Earth's population would decline to a place where we could survive?
And just think of it guys, a female robot that never says, "not
tonight", and never complains that, "You got yours and now you just
roll over and go to sleep?" But can she fry bacon, make good coffee
and do up my eggs broken and over?
And as for the ladies out there, wouldn't it be a relief to have a sex
partner that only went into action when the mood struck you? And
since he is a sex robot, he never will leave the toilet seat up, or
scatter his clothes around the house.
Ah...progress is so sweet!
