[tekhartha]

I had never given much thought to sexual intimacy before I arrived here.

[The soft, sonorous thrum of Zenyatta's voice comes drifting across the network like a cloud on the wind, punctuated haphazardly by the faintest of chimes as his orbs circle, unseen. His tone is carefully neutral, curious and undemanding, as he continues.]

When my omnic brothers and sisters liberated ourselves, some among us chose to forsake such human forms of sexual gratification as symbolic of our subservience; our bodies were built for the use of humans, and our ability to feel physical pleasure merely a supplement to human pleasure. To use them as free, sentient beings was to agree that we were little more than shallow imitations of our creators.

I had not considered my own path at all, until now- and, for my ignorance, it is all I can think about for a few days each month!

[Wryly amused for a second there before he continues. If he is being perfectly honest there is one person in particular who is driving him to distraction, but... he hums.]

I believe I would like to try it for myself, under the right circumstances, yet I find myself-- quite unsure. Would any of you be so kind as to share your own first experiences? [brightly:] "Virginity" is merely a social construct, of course, but I am sure each of you has a story you might care to tell!

As it happens, I am in possession of both a phallus and a pseudo-vaginal orifice. [He doesn't sound remotely embarrassed, because frankly he isn't. It's just a body.] I imagine it was more economical to produce multifunctional models.

[heavyhitter]

Oh. Shit, yeah, that makes sense.

So what’d they go for? Realistic or stylized?

[tekhartha]

[He can't help it. He bursts out laughing.]

By the Iris! You are quite fearless, my friend!

[He doesn't sound remotely bothered by it.]

[heavyhitter]

[ as fun as it is to fluster someone, this lack of fluster is pretty refreshing! she’s a fan already. ]

What, am I supposed to meet a sexy robot and not ask about his junk? We got like, barely functional AI back home, and nothing’s people-shaped. No way I’m passing up this chance.

[tekhartha]

[The laughter subsides into a chuckle, though it does not quite die away.]

Then I am sorry to disappoint you, my friend, but I am not so imaginatively designed as you might hope. My parts closely resemble human genitalia remade in silicone and chrome- they are not dissimilar to some of the toys you might have seen in certain stores here.

[He doesn't need to mention that they light up. That would be crass!!]

[heavyhitter]

Are you kidding me, that’s not disappointing! That sounds fucking awesome. Can you swap out and upgrade and shit?

[tekhartha]

[deadpan] It is very awesome. [then, more thoughtfully:] At home it would be no trouble at all, but I imagine I would have to specially commission them here. In fact, I would be surprised if there was not already a thriving market for such attachments.

[heavyhitter]

A dick blackmarket! [ thanks for making her day with this concept, pal ] If you ever wanna go shopping, lemme know. I’ll help you pick the best new whatever, guaranteed.
