What, the fuck, are Japanese people doing with their tongues for "emotional bonding" where a robotic tongue would be an acceptable substitute?

Like, i 100% see how the adult toy industry could benefit from this, but the idea of a robot licking me for "emotional bonding" is a full-on "hell no".

@masukomi Maybe they mean "kiss"? A lost in translation thing.

@StarkRG sure, I considered that however I am pretty sure that most people would perceive french-kissing a robot tongue as a negative.

I’m sure are some people who fantasize about French kissing robots, but I feel reasonably confident in suggesting that they’re severe minority.

@masukomi Well, sure, but it's supposedly for therapy, not fantasy.

@StarkRG you don’t think it’s much more plausible than this is just an excuse to be allowed to keep working on their sex toy?

Because I honestly can’t think of a therapeutic use for a robotic tongue other than producing orgasms

Show threadStarkRG2d ago
@masukomi More plausible? No. Approximately as plausible, though. While I could understand it being useful in the creation of human-like speech, but the article specifically mentions that it *feels* the same as a tongue rather than merely functioning as one. But, ok, for the sake of playing devil's advocate, maybe it could be used as a prosthetic for people who've lost their tongue to disease or mishap?

@masukomi lick therapy, don't need a machine for that, i have dogs thank you very much

@jonahgibberish see. Pets makes sense. Even if the pet is just someone into pet play. But not… whatever this is pretending it is.

Loving pets, and sexy time. Well and sex toys. Nothing else that I’ve come up with.

Those stamps aren't going to lick themselves.

@hackersquirrel honestly. I absolutely love the idea of having a robotic tongue at your desk to lick stamps.

Now, if only people used paper mail anymore. It seems to be only companies sending bills or ads these days.
