If a guy is connecting with a fembot on an emotional level, then that says to me he is getting in touch with the feminine impulse or anima in his own mind. Women are just like Men really. Only a little prettier.
not weird at all when the subconscious realizes the human population of the planet is excessive many times beyond balance, even if the conscious of so many tries to deny it. i wouldn't pay 6k for a replicant human, but some kind of fluffy alien, ha, is if i had that kind of money for something like that. imagination works just fine when it hasn't been atrophied though. i still think something in the air or water that would lower fertility without lowering labido, randomly but without any sort of bias, is what is really needed.
