Vibez Adult Boutique in Aylesford selling £4,000 sex robot

A sex boutique in Aylesford is one of just two stores in the country to stock a £4,000 erotic robot.

Sex bot Samantha was introduced to staff at Vibez Adult Boutique just two weeks ago and has already become a global phenomenon.

Tracey Whitmore, owner of Vibez, revealed the latest addition to her stock can switch between a family mode and a sex setting to become an established member of any household.

She said: “Sex dolls have always been a problem in terms of getting a realistic one.

"You have your blow-up ones that look comical and cost between £20 and £100.

“Samantha has different personalities and she has a family mode where she will be able to give facts about various things and talk about philosophy.

“She can tell jokes and she can’t just accidentally go into sex mode.”

Samantha, which retails at around £3,500, is charged via a USB cable and interacts through artificial intelligence.

Synthea Amatus created the lifelike dolls and Tracey is tipping the specialist toys to become a top product.

The company, headed by Spanish creator Serge Santos, has sold 30 dolls worldwide and is believed to be working on a male model.

Tracey said: “The artificial intelligence stuff is mind-blowing.

"She has a brain and can interact with you and even learns from people.

“We have only had her two weeks now. We are an adult store so people aren’t going to call us for a family bot – they want a sex bot.

"The people who buy these dolls are usually lonely people that are looking for companionship and something for a sexual purpose.

“She appeals to couples who might want to experiment but don’t want the jealousy element.”

While Vibez has just one on sale at present, orders can be taken and deliveries can be made within six weeks.

Tracey, whose shop is in Beddow Way, said: “This is just the beginning; Samantha is very much a prototype.

"She has an SD card that goes into the brain and will be able to adapt and be updated.

"Samantha will be ever-evolving and she will be getting better and better.”
