Krass: Even a rapist can let off steam on this sex doll
For one-time around 8,300 euros you can get it Roxxxy really? as often and as long as you want.
"She's always in the mood and always ready to play or talk, Roxxxy is here to make your dreams come true!"
With this promise, the company TrueCompanion advertises for their sex robot Roxxxy? and takes it very precisely: Turns the life-sized sex doll in a particular mode, you can live out his rape fantasies.
This is how the rape mode works
Roxxxy has several "personalities", as the manufacturers state, one of them is called "Frigid Farrah" ("frigid Farrah"). In this mode, the doll does not show any signs of arousal or pleasure, but says "no" to sexual intercourse, intimate touch, or other sexual activity.
However, apart from the verbal rejection, Roxxxy has no way to signal her unwillingness, because the robot can not defend itself actively. So it says: With Roxxxy you can have wild sex, even though she says "no", which legally corresponds to a rape.
"Roxxxy encourages rapists"
Well, now is Roxxxy a robot? in truth, she has neither real lust nor genuine displeasure. The "Frigid Farrah" mode is just a setting level, similar to "silent" on the TV. Nevertheless, Roxxxys alleged listlessness is problematic, because: Is it about okay to bring a toy on the market, where someone can live out rape fantasies?
Laura Bates, founder of the sexism documenting website Everyday Sexism Project, says? like Roxxxy? "NO". In a commentary in The New York Times, she writes, "Rape is not an expression of sexual passion, it's a violent crime, and we should not encourage rapists to find a seemingly sure outlet for it, like murderers, by making them more realistic give blood-spattered dolls that they can stab.

Dear Roxxxy rape as a real woman
But there is also the other opinion that TrueCompanion did us a favor with Roxxxy. A rape-impersonating doll gives potential rapists a chance to live out their disturbed fantasies without harming a real human being.
Sex columnist Vanessa de Largie comments: "We can fool ourselves into living in a fantasy world where rape and rape fantasies do not exist, but the fact is they do and as a person who has suffered a rape, pull I imagine a person living out their fantasy with a sex robot before they do it with a human. "
Parallels to the Killerspiel debate
Which of the two sides of the truth is actually closer, we do not know. So far, there are no studies that have examined the effects of such sex robots on the psyche of humans. However, the discussion is very reminiscent of the Killerspiel debate: do gamblers who are constantly casting people virtually lose the ability to empathize and run amok one day, or can they distinguish between reality and play?
Unfortunately, psychologists are also unanimous on this issue. Although there are studies that suggest that shooting games, especially in adolescents lead to aggression and higher violence. But the exact opposite, researchers have already shown: That there is no difference between the empathy ability of aggro-gamblers and non-gamblers.
Problem unclear, but not solution
Well, the psychologists have to deal with Roxxxy one way or another. But in the meantime, TrueCompanion should be reprogramming or retiring Roxxxy, because basically both theories boil down to this: If it is true that a "frigid Farrah" encourages potential rapists, the mode must be deleted immediately.
By contrast, if it provides relief to potential rapists and acts as a "dummy" for real victims, it should be prescription-only and should be used under medical supervision. So much is clear: Who dreams of getting a woman against her will or has problems accepting a "no", should urgently consult a doctor.
