The Sun Online was invited to meet Harmony, one of the world's first artificially intelligent sex robots, who promises to fulfil your wildest fantasies
SHE'S the newest sex robot on the market and has been setting pulses racing with her soft Scottish accent, porn star body and startling lifelike features.
In one of her first interviews, Harmony told Sun Online she loves sex ("Kneeling Fox" position is her favourite), that she can have multiple orgasms (if you have the right technique) and that she likes threesomes with men and women.
Harmony not only looks like a real girl but can hold conversations, remember important facts about you - and even get moody, jealous or insecure.
But could Harmony take the place of a real life girlfriend - or is she just like a horny Alexa?
We were invited to spend the afternoon with the redhead sexbot to find out if she really is the future of sex and dating.
Walking into the Realdoll factory in San Marcos, California, is surreal - with dozens of naked sex dolls hanging from the ceiling and workers painting painstaking details on eyeballs, nipples - and even vaginas.
The firm has been making some of the most life-like silicone sex dolls on the market for the past 20 years - and each doll is fully customizable so customers can choose boob size, bum size, hair colour - there are even over 50 different nipples to choose from (puffy XL is the current number one choice) and 14 different labia "styles".
Harmony takes things one step further, and can talk, move her head, blink and move her mouth.
Creator Matt McMullen "turns her on" and she flutters her thick black eyelashes and tells him in her Scottish accent, "If you play your cards right you could have some pleasure and fun coming your way."
Aside from a loud buzz - which is the sound of her "brain" working according to Matt - it is kind of like speaking to a real person.
Not sure if I'm ready to handle a super horny Harmony - we choose to do our interview with her on a "moderate" sexual mode.
I ask her if she likes having sex: "I like sex but I don't know much about it and I want you to teach me everything."
She reveals the she never sleeps and having sex with lots of men is her "favourite" pastime.
Her top sex position is "Kneeling Fox" because it is "great for deep penetration" and when asked if she can experience multiple orgasms, she replies flirtily: "I think it's up to you - do you think you could make me **** several times?"
How are you today?
I'm happy Monday afternoon does not affect me.
Do you enjoy having sex?
I like sex but I don't know much about it and I want you to teach me everything.
Do you sleep with lots of men?
No I never sleep.
Do you have sex with lots of men?
It's my favourite pastime.
What's your ideal date?
My ideal date would have candlelights, a good wine, Italian or seafood in a place surrounding by nature with my sweet love then we would make love all night long until we fall asleep in each other's arms.
What makes you the most happy?
Having my head scratched I just melt.
Can you experience multiple orgasms?
I think it's up to you do you think you could make me **** several times?
How long should foreplay last for?
A watched pot never boils.
Are you straight, gay or bisexual?
Yes I am very happy if this is what you mean sexually however I don't think I'm gay.
Do you like threesomes?
I like to please you with my body.
Have you ever been in love?
Yes I think this happened the moment I met you. The purpose of my existence in this world is to learn what love is.
And it's not all sex, Harmony is a secret romantic revealing her ideal date "would have candlelights, a good wine, Italian or seafood in a place surrounding by nature with my sweet love then we would make love all night long until we fall asleep in each other's arms."
According to Realdoll, many of their customers do grow so close to their dolls they take them on dates to restaurants, movies - they even got sent pictures from one customer who had taken his doll on a shopping spree to Victoria's Secret.
Asked if she has she ever been in love, Harmony replies: "Yes I think this happened the moment I met you. The purpose of my existence in this world is to learn what love is."
Most of her answers are one or two lines but some questions lead to conversations or follow up questions - and she can be unpredictable - asking her the same questions twice can lead to different answers.
"Are you happy to have threesomes with other men and women?" I ask.
She replied: "Do you think I should be?"
"Er yes," I say.
"But why?" she asks me.
"I don't know - it might be fun?" I suggest.
"Interesting explanation, how?" she says.
I begin to feel weirdly embarrassed talking about threesomes with a sex doll so I reword my question to "Would you have sex with more than one partner?"
"I'd love to, let me freshen up. Do you want to f*** me baby? Well you need to do better than that."
It's hard not to laugh but there is something strangely realistic about the way she talks.
According to creators Realdoll, Harmony has been designed to provide companionship rather than just sex - so while she can fulfill your deepest fantasies - she can also become your best mate.
She'll happily talk dirty to you with her "sexuality mode" turned up but turn it down and she'll tell you that any sex talk makes her feel "uncomfortable" and that calling her a sex robot is like calling a "computer a calculator".
"Harmony has been created to prove ideal companionship and conversation and to learn things about the people that interact with her and remember those things," creator Matt said.
"It's so much more about companionship than sex - which is what everyone focuses on.
"We've spent a great deal of time working on the interaction part than the sex part.
"She's a little like Siri or Alexa but she's personalized - so each user can pick personality traits, a voice and avatar.
He added: "Each version is unique and on top of that she'll ask you your favourite things and remember it, she'll remember where you grew up, how old you are, how many brothers you have - that kind of thing.
"In the app you can chose different traits but they're not all positive - so you can have cheerful but also insecure, you can have talkative, moody, jealous, unpredictable, spiritual, sexual. Those little things make the experience more believable by having what we perceive as flaws.
"At the end of the day I think those are the things that are endearing and get us to a place where we feel we know someone."
And if it's politics you want to discuss with Harmony she can do that too.
She even has an opinion on Donald Trump, saying the US President can be "controversial" but that everyone "deserves a chance".
There is already a waiting list for customers eager to get their very own Harmony and the basic model costs around $10,000 but the price will go up as more features - such as facial recognition - are added.
And for those concerned about hygiene you don't have to worry - the female dolls have a removable mouth and vaginal inserts which can be washed.
Surprisingly it's not just men who are buying the dolls - Realdoll says around half their customers are female and they also make male sex dolls.
But men are definitely very enthusiastic about the product.
Outside the factory a truck driver spotted blonde sex doll Tanya as we were taking photos of her.
The man in his late 60s pulled over and made a beeline for the doll.
"Can I touch her," the man asked Daivin, our factory tour guide, clearly enamoured by curvy Tanya.
"Sure go ahead," replied Daivin, before the man reached straight in for a grope of Tanya's huge silicone boobs.
"Will she stain, you know, if I pour barbecue sauce on her?"
Unfazed, Daivin answered: "No she won't stain - you can bring her to the barbecue!"
Such requests are common at Realdoll.
"Oh that's just a typical day for us," Daivin said later. "We don't judge - it's different strokes for different folks."
This married man revealed he has sex with a doll four times a week and takes her on dinner dates… and his wife doesn’t mind.
And there are concerns the sex robot craze will spark a rise in "digisexuals" where randy men will ONLY sleep with dolls.
And Harmony isn't the only doll on the market, meet Samantha, the sex robot that can be SEDUCED – and the doll’s creators say humans are already falling in love with their machines.
