We Fully Embrace Our New Robot Prostate Snipping Overlords


File this one under the "Ouch, Please don't hurt me!" Category: There are new robots that are used to operate on your prostate. So, the little robot arms going in little robot made holes in your balls and cut out all the bad stuff without getting all the good stuff. I would love to think of these as nanites, but they are actually controlled by doctors who know what they are supposed to do. The machines cost millions and millions of dollars, but because the little robot arms are able to not snip the ol' "sex drive" line, gentlemen are willing to pay a little more to get the good service. Suprisingly enough. Additionally, because the holes for the robot arms are so small, recovery time is much shorter.

Let's weigh the pros and cons here:
Pros: Still getting to take your girl to Pound Town. (Good) Not being laid up in the hosipital for very long and getting back home so you can take your girl to Pound Town. (All Good!)
Cons: None that I can see.
If I'm 1 in 6, gimme the robot!
