Scientists warn of '50,000 cases a day' if infections keep rising

That’s the exciting future women can look forward to when ‘Henry’ the sex robot is unleashed later this year (priced at between £8,000 and £11,000).

‘Henry’ will be armed with one thing guaranteed to make women go weak at the knees – and it’s not his tireless robotic penis.


It’s a British accent, with which Henry can chat up females with ‘romantic phrases’, love poems and songs.

It’s a bit like Amazon Alexa stuck onto a shop-window mannequin, with a dildo attached – and what could be more romantic than that?



Alarmingly, Henry only weighs six stone.

But makers Realbotix hope that people will buy Henry ‘for companionship’.

Matt McMullen, 48, explained: ‘Women have the same issues of loneliness as men.

‘People call them sex dolls but mostly it’s about companionship.

‘In this world of computers people are missing out on human interaction.’

McMullen has previously promised that his male sex robot – due later this year – will be capable of superhuman sexual performance, as you can plug it into the mains.

McMullen said users will be able to ‘plug the robot in’ so it can go ‘as long as you want’.

David Levy, author of Love and Sex With Robots, told Yahoo News, ‘I feel certain that eventually women will be turned on at least as men by sex robots.

‘The huge sales of vibrators prove that women in general are very happy to achieve orgasm by way of electronics.’
