Robot fetishism

The main distinguishing feature of this fantasy is that the android is a completely artificial construct, often manufactured solely to fulfil the wishes of its owner.

[6][better source needed] The aspects of this fetish that are most appreciated by members of the ASFR community are greatly varied.

The ability of the android to remove parts of its skin or other bodily appendages in order to reveal its circuitry is quite pleasing to some, but distasteful to others.

As realistic androids and humanoid robots do not currently exist in a form readily available to the consumer,[2] this fetish can only be acted upon in a limited number of ways.

[1] Art with ASFR content includes but is not limited to science fiction movies, music videos,[7] television shows, novels, short stories, illustrations, manipulated photographs, songs and even television commercials.

Realistic sex dolls such as the RealDoll may provide a way to explore this fetish with existing technology.

Recent developments in robotics and artificial intelligence, such as those seen in the Actroid or EveR-1 may lead to the production of more advanced synthetic partners.
