I don't get this sentiment. If you feel this way about it, you're not going to buy one. If two other people use it, that's their business and they are going to use it in their own private way. I doubt if they can force someone to watch them using it. How is it vulgar if it's mutual and private? Is pooping in private vulgar too?

I'm looking at it and thinking fine, go to town. What difference does it make in my life? none whatsoever.

About that. I remember two dudes talking about such devices and how they worked in a podcast about 10 years ago, one guy was even freaking out because it came with hair. So I'm assuming they've been around even longer than that.

There’s a whole segment of US society that is all about telling others what they can’t do, simply because they personally don’t like it.

The world would be so much better if everyone thought like you.

I'm no psychologist, but I imagine that thing can't be good for people who struggle with loneliness or other mental health problems. Just like things like Replika and those weird animatronic sex dolls, it seems to me like it's specifically designed to prey on those people.

Besides, it is absolutely creepy. It's basically a disembodied robot mouth; what about that isn't creepy? That doesn't mean I'm criticizing people who would use it.

There is no depravity, no matter how deep, that you cannot justify using this argument.

Mutual consent does not magically make things acceptable. People will agree to utterly horrendous things.

A skilled manipulator can convince others to do things which are not in their best interests, and they will end up utterly convinced that it was their idea.

It was awhile ago (10+ years), but I swear I remember seeing an article on full sized sex dolls that mimic their partner to some extent, so you could technically have sex over the internet. I think another idea was to be able to link it up to porn and it would mimic one of the people while the video played.

So it probably does exist but in its current form is to expensive for the average joe, but people are still working on making it more robust and affordable to the general public.

So… five euro worth of TPE shaped into mouth and what looks like a cheap rotating motor turning a cam mechanism to push it in and out slowly from behind. What other snake oil electronics did they include. Utter garbage.

There is fairly large amount of people that don't suffer from loneliness, or mental health issues, buying sexdolls. I assume you are also referring to those?

​

Also, how hypocritical of people to call a diesmbodied mouth creepy but a dildo is perfectly fine.

The fact that this keeps going back to sex toys really just proves my point. Not to criticize anyone for using them, but this thing isn't supposed to be a sex toy.

Also, no; my concern is that this is pretty clearly designed to target people who already struggle with loneliness. I guess you could make the same argument about dildos and the like, but those are designed to sit still and maybe vibrate; this thing is specifically designed to mimic the feel and motion of actual lips.
