It knows exactly when I'm turned on, when I'm withdrawing, when I'm approaching climax; it knows my body better than I do. I don't have to make any effort to communicate my needs or to figure out my partner's -- what a relief to set that burden down! A robot also knows when to leave me alone, so I don't have to risk hurting its feelings by declining its advances. In fact, in this relationship, the robot does all the work, learning by trial and error, taking all the risks and adapting to my moods and whims. Sounds like a match made in heaven ... or by Honda.
