Harmony is a humanoid with the look and feel of human flesh, and body of some of the world's beauties.
You could have relatively sophisticated conversations with Harmony given its artificial intelligence. Harmony including its variants have been called AI dolls, companion humanoids, sexbots, and sex dolls.
According to its creators, Harmony provides companionship and sex to guys who may otherwise struggle with dating. Harmony provides something extra or a fantasy to male partners who may otherwise not get it from their relationships.
Harmony has attracted opposition and criticisms, notably from female activists and ethicists. "Sex robots are pornified versions of women", said a critic. Another critic observed that Harmony is "feeding into the fantasy women can be sexual objects for men".
Another critic went as far as saying Harmony, which will go on sale at the end of 2017, "is a commercialisation of rape", and amounts to cheating if a male partner ever uses it.
While the concerns of these critics are understandable, they are groundless and hypocritical. These same critics probably use vibrators and didols, and yet never criticised the use of dildos or vibrators by women.
A case could be made if Harmony is sexual objectification of women likewise vibrators and dildos are sexual objectification of penises.
It begs the question what are these women afraid of? Do they have a legitimate concern? Is a male partner who uses Harmony cheating on his girlfriend or spouse?
What Girls & Guys Said
22 27I don't see the reason to be worried or how this could be a bad thing. First of all the guys who will buy this doll are the ones that women reject anyway. And even if the guys that can get women buy this, it's just a toy after all. No matter how realistic it looks it will not provide the intimacy that real woman does. To be honest I find sex dolls creepy as fuck and wouldn't want to put my dick into one.
Too creepy, even for me...
Guys, I'm very dissapointed in you if that's really your idea of a perfect partner... Well at least there is a male version.
I think it's great that we both have our toys 👍 and I personally looove this one

Holy fuck from the head down that looks real as hell
@chowmain haha I know right, sex dolls keep getting more and more realistic
HAHAHAHAHA
I thought that was a real guy at first!
We all should just play with toys because why not! Fuck relationships!
Nah I'm not worried. If you think these gadgets feel the same as real companionship and intimacy, go ahead.
Libby Emmons, a tech writer has a different view. She writes: "it’s time to admit that the planned obsolescence of the female on Earth is nearly complete". See full article: thefederalist.com/.../
Well let's see, are men really that sex crazy and emotionally handicapped?
OP, do you believe they are? this goes further than just wanting sex. Some people are socially inept.
irs not men that are emotionally handicapped, its just the fact that women demand so much from men due to their emotions and hypergamy, things that men dont need from women, that a sexbot would be a more practical option in many cases.
I meant that men who say a robot could actually replace women with real thoughts and feelings says a lot about them...
Nobody really said that though, and most men are not really interested in the thoughts and feelings of women, we can get a good idea about how humans, both male and female, think and feel, without having to engage in a romantic partnership with them. Being friends with men and women can give you enough perspective, and then the doll would just replace women when it comes to having sex. Which means men will more easily be able to interact with women on just a platonic level with no interest in impressing her or trying to get in her pants.
The idea of robots completely replacing real romantic and sexual relationships is absurd, but like I said, if some people really think it feels the same and wants to fuck and love a talking doll instead, that's fine.
it won't completely replace romance, but it will lower the value of sex which is what men value the most about women. So if women want a man or husband in the future they will have to work very hard on their personality and other qualities and not expect the man to do all the work like they do today, because if they dont change and still have princess complexes then most men are going to stop pursuing them and instead go for a sexbot.
actually OP, people who choose to say single dont just pent up sexual frustration. They end up having friends with benefits, or masturbate. you would be surprised at the amount of people who do not want the emotional attachment these days. especially the younger generation
@burlen That article is VERY obviously satirical, w0t?
But I thought that women would be happy that more men decide to get it with sex robots rather than bothering them?
Oh I get it, they're afraid that they are going to become obsolete.
I thought the feminists would be happy with this if anything , less " disgusting , sick , perverted rapists " as they typically describe the hated male, bothering women. In regards to sexual desire , nature is cruel to the male , men typically have far higher sex drives than women ( most women would be happy celibate ) yet it is a challenge for a large percentage of men to win over women & get to the sex bit , however women should be treated as a whole entire person , NOT just a vagina support system !!
A better solution would be develop a way of eliminating the male sex drive , without adverse effects & not hampering the " male drive " to get stuff done , many men , especially the younger age groups wish their libido had an OFF or DELETE button , most women would be very happy with this too... less " thirsty " men bugging them !! Sexual frustration does not really affect women. Also , this doll will be too pricey for most men.
Also , isn't this the age of " I don't need no man? " , plus women far prefer their own gender for company over men. Most women would not care if a large percentage of men " left the plantation "
