I like a good joke thread, but if that isn't what the intention is for this one, I have said all I feel I need to here.
Qapla!
It's 70% joke thread, 30% attempt at starting an interesting conversation around social taboos. Some people took it wrong, that was fully expected. I'd apologize for upsetting people, but honestly I gave up on apologizing to people on the internets. You'll never please everyone no matter what you try to do. I find that the best conversations start around potentially controversial subject matter, at least the most interesting ones (to me) do. Take from it what you will.
I will say that I laughed pretty hard at the schoolboy wet dream comments or the people who took it literally. My message to anyone who got butt-hurt over this thread, grow up; It's a thought experiment. Try to have a little fun in life instead of being the hypersensitive feels police.

No, because... they actually own their 'masters', which are merely manipulated into thinking they are in charge.
I don't want to be a victim of alien super-pheromones, no matter how sweet the fruit.
Not butt hurt at all. Just making observations. Don't wear my feelings on my sleeve like so many on the InterWebs do. Long haul truck driver by profession. Overly sensitive people do not survive in my workplace. And as far as the, ahem, 'humor' part? Probably shouldn't try to make a living at comedy. Because you really suck at it. If you have to explain the joke to the audience, then it is not a joke. Your fault. Not theirs. This thread could have been done in a manner where evereyone got the joke right off and played along. Such a thread would have been highly amusing. This one is not. Some people have attempted to provide life support to this pathetic P.O.S. by injecting humor into it. Sadly, their efforts failed.
Might wanna try Googling <humor> OP. Just sayin'
A six year old boy and his starship. Living the dream.
The faculty of perceiving what is amusing or comical: He is completely without humor.
Pretty sure since I made the joke, and you didn't get it, you're the one whom they're referring to in that example.
Twas a valiant effort at... whatever you were trying to accomplish with that wall of useless vitriol. But please, if you have anything else to say, I'm completely interested.
That said, if someone were to offer one for me during a diplomatic encounter or some stuff like that, I'd accept, then set her free at the first possible opportunity.

Wait...this is the future. I can have a robot do those for me a lower chance of STDs.
Wait...why would the robot have just a lower chance instead of a zero chance? Ewwwwwww.
It really is the future when you have to explain the birds and the bees to your robot at that certain age ...
