Your ideal lover in flexible silicone

STANDARD dolls, with a choice of 18 female or two male body types, start at around £5,000 while personalised sex robots start at around £10,000.

Each is anatomically correct, and everything can be custom made. Unlike the plastic sex dolls made in Japan since the 1980s, these are made from highgrade silicone, with a flexible skeleton.

Samantha has dozens of modes, including family, romantic, sleep, sex, funny, philosophy and motivation.
