The American manufacturer has advertised the character as "reserved and shy" and told customers "if touched in a private area, more than likely she will not be too appreciative of your advance".

The company said the "Roxxxy Gold" robot offered men the chance to "realise their most private sexual dreams",

"When our sex robot, Roxxxy, is using her Frigid Farrah personality... she provides her opinion or feedback, just as any person would on a date," read a company statement.

It added: "For instance, you would not immediately passionately kiss a person (male or female) that you just met on your first date. Likewise, Frigid Farrah would also tell you that she just met you if you try to 'move' too quickly.

"Frigid Farrah can be used to help people understand how to be intimate with a partner. Rape simply isn't an interaction that Roxxxy supports nor is it something that our customers are requesting.

Look at them try to back away from it too. So fucking disgusting. This definitely 100% should not be legal.

In a world where half the population already feels entitled to the very bodies of the other half, already views the other half as sexual objects what possible good can be derived from creating actual sexual objects that vaguely look sort of like the group already objectified in society? What benefit can it possibly bring to our world? I can see a lot of ways where it would encourage all the wrong behaviours, especially if young men grow up fucking robots and expecting women to respond the same way.

Not that that's a good thing, but that's definitely why they made it.

Porn has already done enough damage, this will really make things horrible for women.
