Sergi Santos made headlines when he created the first artificial intelligence (A.I.) sex doll. This doll is capable of answering questions and having a “personality,” which is a bit of a stretch, but still impressive.
The doll, named “Samantha,” requires users to romance her before using her, which is nice, because it teaches people that asking is polite and also necessary when having sex. According to Barcroft, Santos decided to create Samantha because “humans are not enough,” and that men and women view sex differently, specifically that men want to have sex all the time. It’s like Santos has never spoken with a human woman before.

He’s also been vocal about how much he loves Samantha, patting himself on the back by claiming that she’s special and that she’s improved his life for the better. Samantha has improved his marriage, especially during times when his wife doesn’t want to have sex with him and he’s desperate, because, according to him, men need to have sex constantly.
A man wants to feel in general that the woman is desperate to have sex with him. And if a man feels like the woman will not enjoy [sex] fully, most men do not like the sex. And this is the cause of many sexual problems.
I need sex some times of the day that my wife doesn’t want to, and I said, ‘Look, sex is breaking already many relationships because of lack of synchronicity,’ and I would not put that pressure to my marriage.
Santos’ wife, Maritsa Kissamitaki, also spoke about her husband and Samantha, claiming that she has no problem with her husband using the doll. She said “With couples, I think as long as there is trust in the relationship and mutual respect, then introducing a doll is something that can help.”
Even though Santos thinks including Samantha in his marriage is totally fine, he’d have trouble with his wife having sex with a male sex doll. “If I found that she likes the male doll better than me, in the sense that she doesn’t want to be with me, I’d get divorced.” Such an equal marriage.
For her part, Kissamitaki said she’d be curious to try out the male doll for herself.
