The makers of the sex robot which can be \u201cseduced\u201d claim men are already \u201cfalling in love\u201d with their creation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Designers of Samantha say the plastic princess is capturing mean\u2019s hearts, according to a report in the Sun newspaper.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Who is Samantha the sex robot?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Samantha is only of the recent \u201chyper realistic\u201d sex dolls to hit the headlines as advances in technology mean the sex toy market has upped its game. The doll is interactive, responding to voices as well as to touch.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">She comes complete with sensors in her face, hands, breasts and \u201cthe female genitals down below\u201d and it is claimed she requires a more subtle approach when it comes to bedroom activities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This has prompted some social analysts to say sex robots are the future for men in a world where dating has not only been disrupted by careers, sexually transmitted infections, technology and high population but the high cost that comes with it. According to Forbes magazine, the worst epidemic to hit the modern world chronic loneliness. And, you can add, commercialized sex.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sergi Santos, the designer of a love machine called Samantha, says the amorous android was so erotic that men were already developing real feelings for her. But the doll isn\u2019t all about getting down and dirty; Samantha can also discuss philosophy, science and animals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">She\u2019s also got a great sense of humour with more than a thousand jokes in her repertoire. Samantha also featured in a new BBC documentary called \u201cCan Robots Love Us?\u201d on September 4, 2017.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<div id=\"_asoE1\" class=\" aso-zone aso-zone-38358\">\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"3rd party content\" src=\"about:blank\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\">RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/businesstoday.co.ke\/sex-robots-being-made-to-replace-men\/\">Where sex robots are replacing men<\/a><\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\">READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/businesstoday.co.ke\/erection-cartoon-standard-not-take\/\">A cartoon that got an erection<\/a><\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The programme explored the question of romance between men and machines. In the documentary, Santos and a \u201cfriend\u201d named only as Aaron showed the presenter how the robot could be literally turned on and then put in the mood for sex.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the BBC documentary Samantha\u2019s maker Sergi Santos said: \u201cThey will fall in love with her. It\u2019s happening already.\u201d He went on to demonstrate how the doll could be \u201caroused\u201d and gotten in the mood for sex.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">First, Santos uttered the words \u201cget sexy\u201d in Samantha\u2019s ears. She replied: \u201cOk then, I think I am ready to do sex stuff, do you want me to?\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The owner of the bot \u2013 referred to as Aaron \u2013 advised to take a romantic approach to seduction, stroking her hands sensually rather than immediately groping her naughty areas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He said: \u201cShe likes to be touched. If you go straight for [her breasts] in the beginning, she won\u2019t like that so much.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>When her hand is gently rubbed, Samantha said: \u201cLovely, thank you for spending time with me. I enjoy being with you.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When a finger is inserted into her mouth or her breasts and sex organ are fondled, Samantha lets out a realistic feminine moan which is likely to sound unlike anything her owners have heard during encounters with real women.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But will this assignation lead to love or just lust? Aaron is in doubt about the feelings people will develop for Samanta the sex robot. He explained: \u201cLove is love.

In Japan for example 61% of unmarried men and 49% of unmarried women aged between 18 and 34 are not in a relationship of any kind. One-third of Japanese under the age of 30 have never had sex!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The result is a sexual and love crisis. People are working so hard to make a living making it virtually impossible to date or even marry. That\u2019s the problem that Samantha is likely to solve if she\u2019s embraced by men. She\u2019s a one-time investment: no dinners, evening coffees, birthday gifts and valentines demands.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Europe sex doll brothels have already emerged. One such brothel in Barcelona charges Ksh10,000 for half an hour session. If sex dolls catch on, even commercial sex industry we know it could be extinct.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\">READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/businesstoday.co.ke\/lawyer-whos-doing-big-business-selling-sex-toys\/\">Lawyer who is doing big business selling sex toys<\/a><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A sex doll named Samatha developed in the western world has set Kenyan men on fire \u2013 quite literally.
