Comment on Designed by men, for men: Why sex with robots does not have appeal among women

  And if that Sybian could pick you up, and stroke your thighs, massage your breasts, have hips and legs to simulate the sexual positions that it can’t provide you, while still being what it is, there is a huge room for improvement on the design of the sybian and what great things it does

    Probably designed by a man.

      …in the early 1980s, he teamed up with a female physician who believed in the idea. They spent the next 18 months gathering research, asking for insights and meeting with engineers who could bring the product to life.

      From inception to prototyping to how the Sybian performs today wasn’t a “one and done” process. Years of research, conducting interviews and refinement went into its creation. As the creator himself says, “Sybian is not the result of what I thought it should be, but the collective input of many women.”

      You can’t seriously think the ultimate female orgasm machine was invented without women? Plenty of videos that will back me on the “ultimate” part!

        My comment was totally unencumbered by facts or data.

        But it’s not that too far fetched to think it could have been created by a man. For example, in the entire compendium of research around womens health, some not insignificant number of studies around things like menopause, thyroid insufficiency, and aging are not woman specific , and in many of the studies do not include women at all. And we base our medical approach to women on this research.

        Women are constantly systematically overlooked and left out.

        It’s not to far for me to think that some horney engineer made it.

        In this case it’s fun to be wrong , as you have pointed out.

        @shalafi Out of all the weird things I’ve looked up, I can’t believe this isn’t something I’ve heard of.

      Probably a group of engineers so maybe not all men, Sybian is just like the penultimate vibrator, would be a fun engineering challenge, but it’s also a marketable challenge which would be why it exists

        Penultimate? Which one is the ultimate then?

  ✅: Does what it’s asked to do

    I’d kill to get my wife one, but that $1,300 tag gives me sticker shock.

      Your phone is probably worth that much

        Yes, but the vibrator in your phone isn’t 75% of the user interface.

      So you’re saying you value human life at less than $1,300.
