Lady Chatterley's Robot

"And a woman had to yield. A robot was simple with its programming. A woman had to yield it what it wanted, or as like it would probably turn nasty and go on a killing rampage. But a woman could yield to a robot without yielding her inner, free self. That the engineers and talkers about sex did not seem to have taken sufficiently into account. A woman could be taken by a robot without really giving herself away. Certainly she could be taken without giving herself into its electronic power. Rather she could use this sex thing to have her own kind of electronic power. For she only had to hold herself back in sexual intercourse, and let it finish and expend itself without herself coming to the crisis: and then she could prolong the connection and achieve her orgasm and her crisis while it was merely her tool. Her robotic tool."
