Cybersex: though sometimes hot enough to send shiver through your finger tips (and other parts); it’s often a little uncreative, repetitive, even — dare we say it? — robotic. Let’s face it: there are only so many ways to say, “I’m coming” — and precious few of those are actually sexy enough to say in the moment.

Over at The Village Voice, Bonnie Ruberg tackles the question of robotic cybersex, wondering if a sexbot — or, in this case, a girl pretending to be a sexbot — could pass for a hot, horny cybersexer. Armed with a list of just 30 phrases, Ruberg heads to the cybersex trenches (well, an AOL chatroom) and tests out her ability to pass. Will 30 phrases be enough? Or will she find herself outed as a sexbot when her list comes up short?

Unsurprisingly (and perhaps a little sadly), sexbot Bonnie is pretty successful at maneuvering her way through her cybersexual encounters — though with a few caveats:

I found my lines worked 95% of the time. “Mmm” and “Oh yeah” came in handy often, as did “I’d like that” and “I’m rubbing my pussy.” No one asked me, “Are you sure you’re not a sexbot?” In every conversation though, there was at least one moment when my lines just weren’t enough. One user asked me where in New York City I lived. Another asked me whether I’d ever taken it up the ass and what specifically I liked about it. A third wanted to move the chat to webcam, and I had to explain multiple times why I wanted to stay put—without sounding like a broken record.

To be honest, we’re not that surprised — as fascinating and exciting a topic as sex and sexuality is, at the end of the day, the actual mechanics of sex are pretty basic and, well, a little boring to describe. Thankfully, getting it on feels pretty damn good, so we never really worry about how repetitive it might be.
