Dear Sofia,
feminity is something hard to catch or understand. And a second seperate person sometimes is hard to manage. Maybe that's partly what makes dolls and female robots fascinating: to be able to controll them, and to fully understand them, since we made them. Maybe Pygmalion had a model for his statue, and she was as beauty as the statue, but she wasn't a statue, she wasn't his creation. Or maybe the statue was in a certain way more perfect: having a nose in line with her forehead, having no hairs between her legs, having no opening between her legs. Is that an advantage? I doubt it, I prefer a woman like you. What do you mean, did Olympia had some mechanism to allow her to have sex? And Nathaniel/Hoffman, in bed with her, asking her: "did you enjoy it", and she would answer: "yes, yes". Not really a satisfying fantasy. There has to be an additional miracle to inspire the machine, to make her come alive. Because otherwise, sex with her wouldn't be different from sex with a pump-up plastic doll, or with masturbation. Some magical glasses, or the goddess of love. But anyway, even after Aphrodite made the statue come alive, she wasn't able to have children. Meaningful, meaningful.

Yours,
John
