    Do I have trust issues when I have to ask where the AI is gonna store our conversations, dick measurements, fetishes, turn-ons, times I start crying during copulation, times I stop crying during copulation, desires in life, and preferred types of lingerie; or are there legitimate infosec considerations?

      You really shouldn’t be raw dogging the Internet

      Use protection, use an ad blocker

    Do those sex dolls have replacement genitals or do people just pay thousands of bucks for what’s essentially a throwaway item?
