The Effect of Country Music on Suicide»
(S. Stack and J. Gundlach; Wayne State University and Auburn University; 1992)
"The greater the airtime devoted to country music, the greater the white suicide rate"
According to the authors, Steven Stack and Jim Gundlach, the paper "assesses the link between country music and metropolitan suicide rates. Country music is hypothesized to nurture a suicidal mood through its concerns with problems common in the suicidal population, such as marital discord, alcohol abuse, and alienation from work. The results of a multiple regression analysis of 49 metropolitan areas show that the greater the airtime devoted to country music, the greater the white suicide rate. The effect is independent of divorce, southernness, poverty, and gun availability. The existence of a country music subculture is thought to reinforce the link between country music and suicide. Our model explains 51% of the variance in urban white suicide rates." The paper can be found online.

«Love and Sex with Robots»
(D. Levy; University of Maastricht; 2007)
"Human-robot marriages will be legal by 2050"
"My forecast is that around 2050, the state of Massachusetts will be the first jurisdiction to legalize marriages with robots," artificial intelligence researcher David Levy at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands told LiveScience. Levy recently completed his Ph.D. work on the subject of human-robot relationships, covering many of the privileges and practices that generally come with marriage as well as outside of it.

At first, sex with robots might be considered geeky, "but once you have a story like 'I had sex with a robot, and it was great!' appear someplace like Cosmo magazine, I'd expect many people to jump on the bandwagon," Levy said. In his thesis, "Intimate Relationships with Artificial Partners," Levy conjectures that robots will become so human-like in appearance, function and personality that many people will fall in love with them, have sex with them and even marry them. "It may sound a little weird, but it isn't," Levy said. "Love and sex with robots are inevitable."

«Safe and Painless Manipulation of Penile Zipper Entrapment»
(Satish Chandra Mishra; Charak Palika Hospital; 2005)
"A quick, simple and non-traumatic approach to penile zipper entrapment"

If you've experienced this trauma yourself, you wouldn't consider the paper bizzare but a great service to the reduction of human suffering.

I heard the Robot sex guy on the radio just a few weeks ago.
It goes deeper (pardon the pun) than just Get-on, Get off, Get-up, Get-out.
As technology advances, so will the "dolls". There will be human-like interaction/reactions.
So.....if you think about this for a while, you might think that after a while, you decided that there is no "fun" in knowing that "she/he" will always say "yes" to your desires. So...they can program in reluctance with varying degrees of resistance. Now...what if randomly she/he has a fairly strong reluctance.....and you kinda like it....and you try to "convince" her/him some more as to the benefits of a romp; and at one point you get frustrated, tell yourself it's just a machine, and end up having your way anyway - is it assault? - OK, so maybe it isn't assault (it is a "machine" after all) - Does that make it "right"?
