alt.sex.fetish.robots (abbreviated as ASFR) is a Usenet newsgroup dedicated to robot fetishism.

Presentation

In a similar manner to modern Internet forums such as Fembot Central, Usenet newsgroups allowed users to gather around specific interests, and post and answer messages in a threaded fashion.

"The alt.sex.fetish.robots (ASFR) newsgroup is dedicated to the discussion of the concept of sex with or sexual attraction to robots and robot-like beings. This can range from metallic, non-humanoid machines to humanoid androids. Discussions can deal with specific fantasies, fiction relating to the topic and connected ideas like people behaving like/turned into human mannequins, dolls, toys, and other hypnosis and mesmerism fantasies that involve the mechanical/monotone response that appeals to the members."
