LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Now I know what the problem with my last relationship was: We were ahead of our time. Specifically, I mean my ex and I were together prior to the invention of AI sex dolls, meaning that when our relationship had lost its spark, she couldn’t employ the wiles of an AI Connie Perignon to rekindle things.

Thankfully for Leo Vice and August Skye, the couple at the center of “Heart Beats – Disconnected,” a new featurette from Adult Time, sophisticated AI sex dolls exist in their world, so when they start feeling disconnected, August can tap AI sex doll Connie Perignon to swing in for the rescue.

Leo watches August and the AI sex doll get it on and discovers they share something he and August don’t – nice breasts. But, more importantly, they also share a true connection, something he and August lack. And while it’s probably a bit of a kick in the teeth to learn a sex robot connects better with your girl than you do, that’s been true of many women and their vibrators for years, frankly. The only real difference is when women talk to their vibrators, the vibrators generally don’t say anything in response.

Now, Leo has a dilemma. Does he try to repair his relationship with August, or just go golfing every time August has sex with AI Connie, to avoid the angst that grows in the pit of his stomach when he thinks about his wife having better rapport with a sex android than with him? Does Connie happen to know any good AI caddies?

In any event, Connie seems to have enjoyed playing the role in the Isiah Maxwell-directed scene, even if it made fictional Leo feel inadequate on some level.

“This was an exciting project, and it was definitely a task to play an AI sex doll,” Connie said. “I love projects that allow me to act, and I believe I did the character justice. I’m so glad that Isiah cast me. Days on set with Adult Time are always incredible, and I’m thankful to be part of this project.”

You can watch “Heart Beats – Disconnected” now, only on AdultTime.com. You can probably get a real AI sex robot somewhere too, but if you go that route, maybe don’t encourage your partner to have sex with it, lest they fall in love with the doll and leave you a sad, broken, lonely man.
