She might not be much to look at, but makers of Roxxxy, ‘the world’s first sex robot’, have allegedly taken over 4,000 pre-orders for her at over $7,000 a time.  Inventor Douglas Hines also claims that over 20,000 other men have requested information on the robotic sex doll, including a female sex therapist seeking an aid for her patients.

Although I find the first figure quoted rather hard to believe, it would be terrific news if true.  If a sex robot as aesthetically challenged as Roxxy can really sell in those numbers then other companies will surely start to produce superior (at least looks wise) versions themselves.  How long before we see the first robotic RealDoll?

In an industry known for pushing the technological envelope, observers are curious about how Roxxxy will fare in the marketplace.

“Is this a viable product? Yes,” said Sherri Shaulis, an editor at Adult Video News, a trade magazine for the pornographic industry. “There’s a market for it. Granted, it’s a very small market.”

Maybe not. TrueCompanion claims that more than 4,000 men have placed pre-orders for Roxxxy robots, and another 20,000 or so have requested information about the product.

“There’s really nothing like this on the market,” said Hines, who speaks of his unique creation with what seems like genuine affection. “Whenever she’s out in public, everyone wants to talk to her and pose for pictures. It’s so cute.”
