Gaaah... if it were, it would turn anyone with sense into a celibate and we'd have to start growing babies in bottles like in Brave New World.

Anyone who uses the word "pistons" in a sex scene has to turn in their creative license, stat.

The word that I am looking for here, I think, is "RoboCopulation".

Almost certainly not; the one I have in mind is a Melissa Scott from 1987.

Also, somebody really needs better translators...
