On the thread topic... If anyone wants to bang a robot that's pretty much their business. And if they want to name it and take it out for tea first that's their business too I guess, each to their own.

However, no, I don't think having the kids play with it is the most amazing of ideas. I don't think they'd be scarred for life or anything, but they ARE going to realise at some point (probably early teens) what the doll actually is and then they'll be horrified. And possibly try to have sex with it, because teenagers. Which is even more worrying. The family sex toy . And then all of their teenage friends will be coming round and gang banging it and all sorts... Poor Samantha . "Knock knock!"
