If you have been dependent on sex dolls for your satisfaction then the newly developed one will not cater to all your steamy romance at ease. In the distant future, a sex robot can deny your lovemaking if it is not in the mood. So your cuddling up to her may not necessarily be taken positively, especially if you are not totally feeling it. The newly developed sex robot 'Samantha' will have an added intelligence to reject your sex sessions. The sex doll will completely shut down if it is not in the mood. So the fact of consent which was long neglected when it came to sex robots, is now tried to address with Samantha, a more developed in human form sex robot.

Sexbot Samantha’s ability to say ‘no’ was demonstrated to an audience in front of the UK's leading scientist hubs. The sex robot has hidden sensors under its skin which can respond to human-like affection and realise if you are probably just faking up. On the other hand, if Samantha is stimulated in a right way, she can whisper nice things in your ear and show affection. The microcomputer in her can remember the previous interaction you've had to make the future ones more 'special.' And you thought of sexbots as soulless devices to facilitate sex?

Samantha is going to have so many more features likes switching modes between family’, ‘romantic’ and ‘sex’. Not to forget she also has an 'extra-naughty' level. So while it can reject your not so endearing affection it can also go lengths to please you! If too bored with your fake attention, it can switch to 'dummy' mode, a total soulless doll. The sensors developed will understand the intention of your touch- if it is too aggressive or disrespectful. So aggression can turn Samantha into just a lump of plastic.

Samantha will soon go in mass production, although right now just the prototype exists. The usage and selling of sex dolls is opposed on several moral grounds, while some say it is 'rape.' Others have pointed out how sex dolls are very degrading to women. Thus, we have Samantha who will come with mindful sensors of her own and can differentiate between good and bad touch.
