Where are the best sexbots? Do they even come close to what humans can do?

  If getting jiggy with an industrial machine that could tear you in half is what floats your boat...

    > If getting jiggy with an industrial machine that could tear you in half is what floats your boat... People already get jiggy with other people who could easily bite off important bits. The issue is trust, and I think that even with the simplest of failsafes[1], the machine juggling your important bits can be made more trustworthy than the human currently doing it. [1] For example, failing in an off position, or using equipment that, even if overdriven at full force, will not have enough force to do damage. Having the clamping or piston mechanism driven off a spring can ensure that the maximum force applied depends on the stiffness of the spring, which gets softer with age, not harder. There's multiple ways currently being used to make machines that interact with humans safe for humans no matter what happens.

      Even if they make perfectly human-like, realistically acting sexbots with HW failsafes, there's the question of trusting the SW. It would be inadvisable to use such a black-box proprietary machine which is probably recording and sending detailed (and potentially embarrassing) telemetry. I'd expect a long wait for community-designed, open-source equivalents.

Of all the taboo subjects this is interesting! Nobody admits to loving their Cherry 2000.

I think they are being held back by trying to make them human-like. I doubt that people will find plastic attractive. instead they should be focusing on sensation

This kind of ignores that CGI porn has replaced sex for a huge portion of the population. If you keep your blinders on an focus on what you predict automation will look like, you will miss the world reshaping itself around you.
