Thought you might like to get a look at what your future will be like if Mr. David Levy is any good at predictions. He did his study at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands. Ranks right up there with underwater basket weaving, in my oppinion. Just think! This is how he got his Phd. Isn't it great that even in the Netherlands, such places as Massachusetts is known for it's extreme views. It's a wonder that Danr hasn't moved there a long time ago. If this should come about, you can bet he will be moving to Boston.
Up until you mentioned Sorayama, I hadn't given him any thought. But you are right when you say he may have been the one who started all this stuff. There are those who call Hajime Sorayama the No.1 'erotic artist' of the 20th. century, and that 'Gymoids' may have been his best works. Who would have thunk it!
I personally prefer a full grown ewe in heat but some sickos like a blow up doll (static robot) and that is most disgusting.

It is here already and you should see what the guys in research and development are doing in Toyko. Hope you can see this Old Dan. Still think that there is some residue radation damage in that nation.
Now that you posted this, I wonder how many forum members we are going to lose for they will not have the time to post!
of course the realdoll has been around for a while now. It's just a matter of combining the fields of study, and the nerds at MIT can take their work home with them.
Some Americans buy latex dolls and pretend they are there well lets say source of relief and it seems as if the Japanese buy what was shown and pretend that they are not only you know what for but also make a good wife,
I heard that San Fran will only allow same sex marriages between a human and a robot. Should we protest?
