Why do non prostitute synths have genitals?
Why would Anita (Nanny/Housekeeper) have breasts or a vagina? Wouldn't it make more sense for her to look like a Barbie when naked?

shareThey are multi-purpose Synth , the cost of producing a synth with no genital is almost the same as one with genital.
And the cost of another production line are expensive .
They have adult option with codes , if the owner wants to use the adult option , they input the code , it they don't then don't use it .
Even if they don't put genital on the robot , the user can just use another hole like the mouth or ear
Haha if you say so...
shareWhat do you mean if you say so? Pay attention to the show, guy. We know synths are hacked and illegally modified by retailers.
You're dumb if that's escaped your attention by this point.
I don't know him. That got nothin' to do with me.

All terms used throughout the show. Where's the production value in having synths with and without genitals if they're ultimately put back on a conveyer belt for resale?
We don't need spoon fed as an audience. Or, some of us don't, at least.

Why would it cost 2x-3x more? ๎ If anything, it might be cheaper to have one product line and streamline the process with volume-discounts on parts. And they may very well provide cheaper, stripped-down models, but like any business, they want to make money, so they will provide fewer choices so that they can pressure people into buying more. This is similar to how ISPs will make a cheap lower tier that is completely useless, then the next tier up is a huge step up with a much higher price; they could provide more variety, but then people would not be forced to pay more for more than they need/want.
(Response notification is off.)
The production line argument is sort of invalid anyway, because it is already clear that they customize the bots. They go out of their way to make each and every synth "unique", as the show put it. It makes no sense why the default home care/general family bot would have genitalia. Just having one around with those features would cause issues with many parents and their kids for instance. It is just impractical for business.
From a business standpoint, more family oriented customers would want a version without genitalia. Even assuming (it is a very long logic stretch) there wasn't one already, the millions of customers with preferences would more than offset R&D cost for a whole extra line - eventually bottoming out the cost, and in fact - giving you a large income gap because no one else is selling them.
You could market it as "We are the FAMILY friendly company", things along those lines, etc.
Of course, certain people, single, married (most probably without children), may still choose, or prefer to have lines with them, but there would be high demand for both, and thus this whole topic is actually quite a valid logic pitfall of the show. At least half of them in this show so far make little sense to why they have genitalia.

What a stupid response to a reply that accurately answered your question. Which, by the way, was EXPLAINED IN THE SHOW had you been paying attention.

I also thought about production costs, but there seems to be so many different models.
But maybe the company is keeping all options open, like a mistress model for old lonesome people...
for the millionth time, why would computers meant for work or family use have access to internet porn?
Cause people want that feature, just in case they feel like it.
I really don't see why's this question raised over and over again when it's quite obv that's exactly what they'd be like if they were real

Wow, some of the people on this board are really defensive and really dumb!
shareDon't be petty, too. While I agree they're acting silly, the question you asked is also somewhat silly. It's like saying, "Why do all cars have headlights if some people only drive on sunny days?" Standardization is involved, and synths appear to be standardized and frequently reused or reassigned for other purposes.
Because it would be weird if every bit human like robot didn't have the whole package. Besides it probably costs no extra.
The increase in human knowledge is the cause of the decline of religions.

Computers may have access to porn but it costs something to access it. A more apt analogy would be cable TV. The porn channels are high priced premium options and not standard for all. The synth companies would charge extra for the parts and programming. Also society would likely also be more accepting if the adult features were optional. And it would have made an interesting storyline for it to be revealed later that the dad paid for the adult extra package

Well that is where the analogy falls apart. The people selling computers dont monitize any content on the computer, adult or otherwise. That is why the cable TV analogy is closer. I cant see how synth makers would sell all bots capable of all functionality. Cars is another example. Almost all cars come with optional extras. I dont see how the adult bits and programming wouldnt be one of those optional extras.
shareBecause men want to *beep* their dollies.
Why do people so frequently get told to read the book on a movie database?
Wouldn't it make more sense to have one standard design, then have the ability to modify it later? The standard design would have no need for genitals. They don't need to eat, so obviously they have no need to urinate or defecate. The only function genitals would have would only be for sexual encounters.
And lets face it, anyone buying a synth for sexual purposes is going to want to customize it to their specifications.
It is simpler to design a model with the potential than it is to adapt a design for modified purposes.
Computer processing chips are designed and manufacutured with the grestest potential that the model can provide. During production, flaws can be realized for individual chips. These flawed chips can be marketed as low-end lower-priced models.
I can see a similar economic business model for the robots.
Furthermore, in some cases, technology is advanced by sex. The desires of those with purchasing power help companies to recoup their investments quickly. The VCR was one technology that grew with videotapes of sex acts being sold everywhere. Once the initial investments are returned, everything after is profit; the price drops for VCR's.
Similarly, the robots were likely marketed for sex initially. When the investment pounds were recovered from those who were willing to shell out the dough to satisfy their desires, the lower-end, lower-priced robots become more common-place serving non-sexual needs, like home and health care.
There may be models out there without the genitals. These would be produced by small companies trying to carve out a niche market, depending on the patent laws existent in that universe.

Better question is why create one you wouldn't want to bang like those haggard old housekeepers (maybe for people dealing with sex addiction?)
--Ju know what a "Hasa" is Frank!?! Dat's a PIG, that don't "FLY STRAIGHT"
Because there's demand for it.

Secretly, no one wanted the sexless versions, so they stopped making them.
