Sex robots which crack jokes being developed to help improve men’s dating skills
It's suggested the machines will be so life-like they'll have pulses and their skin will feel warm
GETTING over the embarrassment of chatting to the opposite sex is something everyone has to deal with at some stage.
But now there could be a way to make things a little easier, as a new breed of sex robot is on the horizon.
Rather than simply being about giving people a pleasure tool, these new toys chat, laugh and even crack jokes.
The idea is they will get guys into the habit of wooing women, providing them with a way to practice their dating skills.
"To actually engage in a conversation with an A.I [artificial intelligence] in its own right is really cool," CEO of sex doll company RealDoll Matt McMullen .
"But to throw in the possibility you can seduce the A.I and have sex with a robot – I think it's an intriguing idea to most people.
"This is a giant experiment. We don't know how or where it will go – and that's what is so exciting about it."

The plan is to create dolls which are so lifelike they even have pulses and skin which is warm.
Matt explains that for people to feel properly attracted to the dolls this is necessary, plus they need to show some kind of personality.
This is where the jokes and chats come in.
He also believes the robots will improve men's bedroom skills, as they'll be able to practice their technique.
It's previously been suggested that sex with robots could be so mind-blowing people might become addicted to it.
This is after the news that teenagers could soon be losing their virginity to the mechanical love machines and that scientists are working on a robot sex brother to cut STIs.
