Chapter 11: Robot Sex <strong>and</strong> Marrying Robots Now Promoted…<br />

Chapter 11:<br />

Robot Sex <strong>and</strong> Marrying Robots Now Promoted in <strong>the</strong><br />

Media<br />

Why a Sex Robot?<br />

I<br />

n <strong>the</strong> Wes Penre Papers—The Multiverse Series (WPP), I<br />

wrote that in <strong>the</strong> near future, people will take robots as lovers <strong>and</strong><br />

spouses. I could see <strong>the</strong> writing on <strong>the</strong> wall, but I couldn’t image that<br />

what I wrote would come into fruition so soon. The day I was writing about<br />

this was a year to a year <strong>and</strong> a half ago <strong>and</strong> is now already happening. In<br />

this chapter, I will prove to you what is going on. It’s all over mainstream<br />

media, although it seems as if most people are still missing most <strong>of</strong> it.<br />

An important part in this process is Google’s recently approved<br />

patent 304 where you can download a robot’s personality from a cloud. This<br />

way you can choose any personality you want for our robot friend, your<br />

robot lover, or your robot spouse. You will <strong>the</strong>n be able to customize your<br />

robot so that it will respond <strong>the</strong> way that you want it to in more or less any<br />

given situation.<br />

"The robot personality may also be modifiable within a base personality<br />

construct (i.e., a default-persona) to provide states or moods representing<br />

transitory conditions <strong>of</strong> happiness, fear, surprise, perplexion (e.g., <strong>the</strong><br />

Woody Allen robot), thoughtfulness, derision (e.g., <strong>the</strong> Rodney Dangerfield<br />

robot), <strong>and</strong> so forth," states <strong>the</strong> patent. 305<br />

Also, if your robot would perish, you would still be able to save its<br />

personality <strong>and</strong> use it for <strong>the</strong> next robot, if we wish. I can imagine that when<br />

people get really used to <strong>the</strong>se things, <strong>the</strong>y would mourn <strong>the</strong> perished robot<br />
