  • Colloquially, the word “robot” always implies a certain amount of anthropomorphism. So no, I don’t think a vibrator would count, as basically no vibrators on the market try to look human-like.

    But that definitely is a weird difference between male and female sexuality - the sex toys women buy most are the very effective and utilitarian ones: Vibrator wands, Rabbits, Air pulse Vibrators etc.

    While the most popular tools for men tend to focus on “realism”(?): Fleshlights, Sex Dolls, things like VR and POV porn. And I guess sex robots would fall into that category too in the future.

    I can absolutely see the weirdness-factor of someone who is desperately trying to emulate a partner rather than just accept masturbation as a solo activity and optimize it from there 😬





  • With my partner, we usually gift time/knowledge. As in, one person wants to buy something but doesn’t have the time/expertise to read up it and find the perfect thing. So the other hops in and does the research for them.

    This valentine’s my partner helped me decide on a new gaming keyboard, while I got him a custom web domain and email setup.

    So maybe if there’s a thing you’ve been meaning to research/buy, let your partner do it as a gift?




  • He was pressuring his employees to go faster with testing and development, as their competitor (I believe it was Synchron) got approved for human trials way faster.

    Well, “move fast and break things” isn’t really a good mindset while performing animal trials, and after about 1500 deaths, many due to botched and rushed brain surgery, the research facility actually got audited for animal cruelty allegations (which happens SO rarely because the law basically allows anything when you say it’s “research”).
