Wham, Bam, Arigato, Mrs. Roboto

Sex with robots?  It could happen. 

It's widely reported that men's and women's sex drives are in opposition to each other.  Younger women and older men have compatible sex drives, as do older women and younger men.  The former set tend to end things much sooner than the latter set.

Except for one British woman who at age 62 went on a two-year sex binge encompassing more than 200 one-night stands.  So there are some exceptions to the general rule.  Somehow it's easier imaging Olivia Newton-John bed-hopping than a grandmother from Leeds.

Another bit of news of recent days was the remarkably life-like Japanese robot.  She looks like an average late-20s or early-30s Japanese woman with long black hair, dark eyes, perfect skin, and a pink jacket.  She nods and shakes her head, blinks her eyes, smiles, and bows geisha-style.  She even raises her eyebrows.  Her speech needs work.  She still sounds robotic.

Given American men's proclivity to porn featuring Asian women (admit it guys), there could be a huge market for this.  For younger men who tend to date younger women, she could go at it literally like the Energizer Bunny.  If they ever develop a male version, older women might never knit again.  And it might save countless men in north central England from being another notch in the lipstick case of a nymphomaniac grandmother.
