Men Going Their Own Way love fantasizing about what they see as the impending sexual singularity — that is, when sexbots become so sophisticated that they can replace real human ladies in the sexing department, thus rendering real human ladies pretty much obsolete, ha ha sucks to be you, ladies!
On the MGTOW subreddit, though, one fellow is warning his MGTOW colleagues about a potential downside to the future sexbot utopia — the possibility that your sexy sexbot might get mad at you and literally pull your penis off with her powerful robot hands.
Hey, it could happen.
Stay safe, fellas!
That simultaneously makes sense and doesn’t make sense. If rubber toys, videos, and games aren’t enough to have a better sexual experience, why would metal toys be? I suspect they either never thought that far or figured sexbots would be better than everything that exists because reasons.
Also, I can’t entirely wrap my head around the “You’ll be sorry because we’ll be blueballing you like you did with us!” reasoning either. Partially because the way my sexuality works means it’s almost impossible for me personally to be blueballed (sex drive only works when interacting in certain ways with my partner). And partially because why would we care about not having sex with someone we never had any interest in? Unless they expect to convert all men to the MGTOW way. But then, where would the beta cucks come from?
Oy, at least straight MRA nonsense is better at making sense with only a cursory examination.
@Frigid Virgin, I was trying to think of a way to express this but couldn’t so I decided to leave it alone… then I saw your comment! Thanks for this, because I’m mentally ill and I’m sure as hell not a MGOTW, but I’m not a feminist, social activist, or whatever you want to call me because of it either.
@drst
But MGTOWs don’t think women (or apparently gay men) would be capable of building a sexbot. So only female bots would exist.
@Tyler Gatsby
No, we’re saying that MGTOWs have a crappy sense of humor, given that everything you say (including the alleged jokes) is informed by your extreme panic over girls — and, even more pathetically, their (alleged) digital replacements.
We’re saying that you’re letting all your hatred and fear hang out.
And it’s gross. Go get that stuff fixed.
Or, you know, cling to your belief that a “joke” that is explained suddenly becomes funny.
@Lady_Zombie:
Are there snakes? There need to be snakes.
Ah, yes. It’s satire. *goes to bingo card*
Well, unfortunately, “It’s satire!” isn’t on there, but the OP did check off “Feminists run the world” and “Men invented everything” because in this hypothetical reality, feminists are both capable of getting men to program robots to rip off other men’s genitals and incapable of hacking.
A bit off topic but you know those fake testicles some guys like to put on their pick up trucks? Well they started making them for assault rifles now. Any one who owns a set of those can no long deny that guns are just a penis substitute.
@Fabe,
…
TIL learned that some men have been putting fake testicles on their pickup trucks for years.
Even in Texas, where you’d expect them to be more common, I’ve only ever seen one pair of Truck Nutz. It was hilarious.
Before moving onto sexbots can we first have a printer that can reliably deposit the copies into that tray thing rather than firing them half way across the room.
@Fabe
No.
No, I am not acquainted with fake testicles.
Well, I wasn’t. But I am now.
Snort.
Why would you even have that sort of ripping strength in a sexbot? I think someone is upcycling old bending units. Should have bit its shiny metal ass first.
Sorry, not programmed for expressing or appreciating humor.
@Eddie
Quite right! Good lookin out, fam ?
It’s every bit as horrendous as you can imagine. Fortunately, I’ve never seen them in the wild. Either they’re illegal here or they’re altogether too much for the Minnesota temperament.

Lady_Zombie, that sounds like a good plot arc for “Sinfest”, the webcomic.
Except that would essentially end the comic – but what an ending! You could even call it a *happy* ending.
I would actually recommend extended immersion in very warm water. You don’t want to run afoul of a hot spot.
@Robert Walker-Smith: another SInfest fan! I thought I was the only one left!
I’ve seen several examples of truck nuts in the wild. They are usually silver around here, not the fleshy color that is likely to stick out, so y’all may have seen them, too, but just not registered what they are supposed to be.
eta: I just recalled that we also have a pickup truck that runs around with a huge Decepticon icon on it and “AUTOBOTS SUCK” across the windshield, so I will allow that I might live in a bastion of weird trucks.
They were all over Chicago when I left. I had a friend who was considering marketing magnetic weasel plushies to attach to them. Considering the condition of West Side streets, I’d almost think a fellow would wince seeing such things dragged through salt, snow, and gravel, let alone assault-weapon recoil. Pretty sure the Alpha/Sigma male gunsmith I used to hang around with would be seriously ticked at the desecration of weaponly aesthetics…
Robert Walker-Smith: I have read that story. Have been trying to find it again, in fact, can’t remember what anthology I read it in or anything else, except that I think the device in question was called a “consex”.
There are PLENTY of truck nuts in Alberta. They tend to be, as PoM said, not flesh colours. But there are plenty of hitches here, and therefore people buy hitch covers, and a non-zero number of them choose ones that look like testicles.
Hooray for living in Alberta, the Texas of Canada.
Ain’t it the truth, Flora 9_9 I guess guys here feel like having two testicles isn’t enough; gotta go for the quadballs achievement.
@Robert Walker-Smith, @LedasMom, you may be blocking; I’m fairly certain it was by, or at least anthologized by, Marion Zimmer Bradley.
Sigh. I HATE it when people whose work I love do things that are completely despicable. You’d think that their duty to their art would make them think twice… but Ms. Bradley also had a duty to her children, and that did not stop her.
ETA; wait, no, the MZB short was a machine you visited, and the story you were talking about had symbiotic silly-putty, yes?
@impatiens
I find that particularly amusing, possibly because I’m %110 lesbian.
@ Flora and Scildfreja
I live in Alberta too and can honestly say I’ve never noticed trucks with quadballs. But I’m also in the Mormon belt, so there’s that. Will keep an eye out for those balls, those shiny metal balls.
#AlbertaStrong
So many progressive Albertans on here! Do you think the four of us make up the entire left wing for the province?
