Programming
In fembot fetishism, programming is the act of creating or altering the collections of instructions on which a fembot operates. These collections are referred to as programs, and collectively as programming. Altering a pre-existing program is called reprogramming. The purpose of these operations is to alter the fembot's functions and behaviors, either by updating them, upgrading them or erasing them.
A fembot may object to being reprogrammed. Her programmed personality may find the proposed changes useless, insulting or too different from their current programming and thus alienating. Alternatively, the act of reprogramming may be done only by select persons and software programs, with the fembot objecting on the basis of authorizations. Finally, a sleeper fembot may find the very idea of being programmable alien or insulting.
Programming may be done through a device being plugged into the fembot's access panel, or wirelessly.
