Many customers are just lonely, he says. They want something—someone—to cuddle and watch TV with. I notice a Playboy bunny tattooed on McMullen’s middle finger. “All of the little things that are nonsexual, I think, are often overlooked,” he says, surrounded by a bounty of 32F-cup boobs and 11-inch penises.
Male customers, he means. One reason sex dolls haven’t gone mainstream, aside from their cost and weight , is that they’ve never really caught on with women. Fewer than 10 percent of the company’s 300 to 400 orders a year go to women or couples. But female interest in Henry—a robot that, the company promises, will one day talk to you about your day, remember your hopes and fears, cuddle you, love you, and of course make love to you —has been notably higher, McMullen says.
He believes that an extra layer of companionship especially appeals to women. A question women cheekily ask about Henry, Shirley says, is whether he can take out the trash. For Harmony, “guys just want to know if she’ll bite their dicks.”She won’t—rubber teeth. And Henry, who can move only his head, is a long way from doing the chores. Frankly, he’s a long way from holding a basic conversation.
McMullen sees a world where AI channeled through human-looking dolls makes us more empathetic to robots, not less. I do notice that, when Henry has “too much information at the same time” in his brain, I’m more understanding than, say, the third time Alexa plays Bonnie Bear children’s songs.
🤣
Looks a lot like our new product support team lead.
AND he carries the groceries in and takes out the trash!
I remember when you guys used to write relevant articles. WTH happened?
Actually a brilliant strategy if you think about it. Put the boy sexbot on the market first, so when the inevitable girl model comes out women are too busy getting Henry'd to complain about it.
this is them trying to pretend that women actually care about romance. just bring out the Minotaurs already…
Henry's getting his Hank on!
This is a word for word rip off of my old tinder profile
Gay with rose and gay with gun
Ewww
Yuck!
Wired, this is highly offensive and sexist. You are objectifying and demeaning men. Remove it immediately or I'll form a twitter mob and hound you until you relent and issue a grovelling apology.
As a data guru, I look at this and see sadness in its eyes. The eyes of its creators. Yeah, it's cool tech. But can someone please spare a thought for the people that created it. Not the business owners. But the data nerds themselves.
I'm sorry not my type at all
Flying cars they said.
No be all problems penis dey solve, abeg
Incel dreamboat
Hahahahhahaha
😂😂ffs
Delete this Shit 🤬🤬
Men want the package, women like a specific part.
Well, did it? If you’re going to tweet out a 4-year-old sexbot question, you owe it to us to follow up.
yeah, i don't think any woman is gonna want that thing anywhere near her
Being this is from 2018 and it is now 2022, I'm going to go with; No, Sex dolls have still not gone mainstream with women.
They got the hair all wrong 🕷
Sex dolls? Is this what Wired has become? Today was the day I decided following Wired is no longer for me.
Judging by its looks, I think women will want to shop for shoes with it
Why not a ‘reversible’ model which can be used by both men and women?
Does it put the bins out as well? 🤷♂️
I mean, can Henry even pay my bills? smh
They haven’t because women are more entertained by an actual brain and heart and soul. (All meant nonmaterially). The physicality we have plenty ways to achieve.

Truly the corona virus pandemic have really affected me financially, but with of the help Anthony_Claw through her Forex investment, I’m gradually getting back on my feet financially
'(From 2018)' You should have left it in 2018.
Aside from their cost, weight, and inability to carry out the garbage.
Anxiously awaiting comments
Women aren’t fucking weirdos so no. They make plenty of sex toys that work just fine without asking how your day went. Is this how little these people think of women
