Las Vegas, Nevada (CNN) -- To some men, she might seem like the perfect woman: She's a willowy 5 feet 7 and 120 pounds. She'll chat with you endlessly about your interests. And she'll have sex whenever you please -- as long as her battery doesn't run out.

Meet Roxxxy, who may be the world's most sophisticated talking female sex robot. For $7,000, she's all yours.

"She doesn't vacuum or cook, but she does almost everything else," said her inventor, Douglas Hines, who unveiled Roxxxy last month at the Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Lifelike dolls, artificial sex organs and sex-chat phone lines have been keeping the lonely company for decades. But Roxxxy takes virtual companionship to a new level.

Powered by a computer under her soft silicone "skin," she employs voice-recognition and speech-synthesis software to answer questions and carry on conversations. She even comes loaded with five distinct "personalities," from Frigid Farrah to Wild Wendy, that can be programmed to suit customers' preferences.

   I do wonder who did the makeup. It looks like it was done by a mortician. ewww.  Im also curious what she says. Im sure its not things like are you going to take the trash out? and would you please ask for directions!?

I may just be speaking for myself here.  But I would never even think of buying that.  It looks disgusting.  Plus it's a little misogynistic, who would want to just have sex with a woman and not have a relationship with her?  (Please, don't answer that.)

I would say, f**k paying $7000 for it and go meet a girl and use that money to take her out to dinner.

Seriously, they are really that desperate for sex?

That doll scares me.  Why pay so much money for a sex robot; aren't inflatable ones cheaper?

I agree completely with you.  I would never buy that thing and I wouldn't buy any thing similiar.  That stuff is just disgusting in my view.

apparantly......yes

[Paquita]

I kind of want one!  But not for what she's intended.. I'm just really interested in her programmable and swappable personalities.

No comment.  But make one that can discuss bad movies and looks like Paula or Paquita and maybe we'll talk!

It's a false relationship, but the talking side of the robot is meant to simulate real conversations.  As in, more than just a sex doll.  Thing I thought, if you're going to have her be anatomically correct and all that jazz, why not go the whole nine yards and make it so she can actually move a little? 

But, as far as men wanting to have sex with women without a relationship?  If the internet is anything to go by, tens of millions of men (probably more like hundreds) want that sort of thing at some point in their lives.

So basically it's a really expensive robo-hooker that looks like a zombie and can't kill your arch nemesis.  You know, I almost want to buy 8 of them.  Not for the robo-sex or anything, but so I can modify them and have my 8 robot masters.

Oh I think you can count on the "Wild Wendy" persona talking trash.
