What I mean is: if it could decline your sexual proffers, what would
make it different from any other sex-capable android or for that
matter human being?

Mmhhh, there again if the final outcome is never in doubt I suspect
that "hard to get" would be considered as stupid a feature as making a
masturbatory device overly complicated to operate.

therapist or a prostitute can teach a human being probably as well as
a sex bot, albeit admittedly with a similarly reduced degree of
satisfaction for the patient/client.
