Ecstasy, knowledge, power, abundance... all of them tools used by the psychopath who wants to be the centre of attention, the locus of control. Maybe it's because I'm in my middle years and my libido isn't as big a driver of my motivation, I would suggest that there is a big gulf between charisma and genuine sexual ecstasy, and that the sex is just the tool used to soften up the victims to make them oblivious to what is really going on.
The reason why I turned it off, was because I could see within the exposition the hollowness of every character in the play, that the robot was being portrayed as a victim but also is involuntarily programmed to play the same power games with the visitor as she was trained to do by her master. To me it was just another variant of the cult leader story, and the inevitable evil that follows their apotheosis (in their mind).
I turned it off for the same reason I turned off Scarface before the end of the first act of the play. It was just porn for people who fantasize about being powerful, and this is a kind of cult in itself, I have seen and interacted with many such people. Just go talk to "satanists" and other types of edgelording. They think this mind games shit is fun, and think the resultant horrors are the punchline.
It's only funny if you don't realise that's what is going on around you every day, in the media, in the town, in the country...
That's not what the movie is about ! Nor Scarface.
Please consider that you might be going through life completely misunderstanding everything !

It's morbid, to dwell on the inevitable entropy of the universe, without any hope of better.
Life is already dark enough without spending 2 hours watching some of the worst kinds of human behaviour, without any sense of justice or closure or resolution.
If you don't get it, I don't have time to explain it to you.
