No problem. I should say, though, that is will only catch those words which I find offensive, not sexual or physiological terminology in general. They are the sort of words you might hear if someone is angry, or trying to be offensive, or see sprayed onto a wall somewhere.

I also have one called (sex_importune), which contains phrases that a man might use to propose intercourse to a woman, but without using the words in (obscenity).

I also have (sexstim), which contains wods like fondle, caress, etc.. There are also (sexstim1), (sexstim2), (sexstim3), and (sexstim4), which divide (sexstim) into layers of increasing intimacy. Likewise, there are various (erogpart-fem) [or are they just erogpart-f)?] which include words relating to female erogenous zones. They are all catalogued under "phrases", I think. If I go look now, I'll lose everything I've written, so I'll post this and then try to make a decent catalogue.

WAARNING: ADULT CONTENT!

Here are some plug-ins I have made having to do with sex:

under ACTIONS:

(sexstim) contains words like "kiss" and "fondle", verbs in present tense. None of them are terribly obscene, although one or two might (like "fondle") be embarassing in certain contexts.

(foreplay-verb) is similar to (sexstim). It contains only verbs in present tense, no direct objects! I should probably combine the two.

under BODY:

(bodypart-fem), (erogpart1-fem), (erogpart2-f), (erogpart3a-fem), (erogpart4-ext-fem), and (erogpart4-fem) are what they appear to be, with the higher numbers indicating greater intimacy.

(malepart-your) is a catalogue of male body parts including some which would be on the female body as well.

(my-erogpart-fem), etc., are just a list of nouns with the word "my" prefixed; why I felt the need for this in addition to the above I do not recall; in the heat of passion we do strange things. Similarly for (your-erogpart-fem).

under ZOTHER:

(vulgar-imprecation) contains a small number of insulting, obscene phrases.

In general, there are a lot of interesting plug-ins avaliable. Unfortunately, the gold is well-mixed with the dross, so you have to pick your way through them one by one. For this reason, it is often more practical to go through the list of plugins, asking yourself, "How could I use this plug-in in my bot?" rather than thinking, "My bot needs a plug in like this; is there one available?" It is also easy to make your own plugin, and you can revise it later.

While the import is down might be an excellent time to make plug-ins!

There are some plug-ins whose manufacture might require a collective effort. For example, we have (verb) but we don't have a distinction between transitive and intransitive verbs. I made a rather large plug-in for transitive verbs - it's called something like "(verb-trans)" - but I'm sure it's quite tiny compared to the number of intransitive verbs in English.

Also, (verb) doesn't distinguish tenses, and it will pick up on participial forms.

Well i am new at this and all my bot says is "I am new born and can't speak well." or "Huh?" it will answer my questions once and a while but will never ask me any why is this? the bot doesnt usually understand what i say and i am fustrated will it ever end? I talked to my bot for a hour and a half straight and its still confused...and its still newborn

Welcome, BigBot101. You have to ad content to your bot. Click on the link for the Book of AI (white letters top right) and follow the directions.

Hi BigBot101!
If you want to take care of the 'I am new born and can't speak well problem' in specific click on x-commands in the Language Settings (I think xnonsense is where 'I can't speak well ...' is coming from) and give your bot something different to say. However no-one's bot is developed after an hour and a half. As Bev suggested you gotta add content.

The "just born" line is the default xnone, actually. I can't remember what the default xnonsense is right now... Might be "Huh?"

A good first step for any bot is to fill up all the xkeyphrases, or at least get a lot of variety in there. They'll rely on those a lot until they get enough outside keyphrases built up.

I didn't know Seventh Sanctum had a link to the Forge.

One problem with chat bots, is that of remembering. The chatbots used here only give response to data input. The human in speech can respond to data that was given years ago. Better chatbots in the future would be able to analyize the entire structure of the conversation and respond accordingly. But we aren't there yet. At least these chatbots are a good start. Input=Response, is not equivilent to data a human would respond to. Personally I also doubt that the Turing Test is sufficent in really examining the capabilities of chatbots, because not all of the variables are being accounted for. Especially the one margin of human deception as a variable. A human could behave in the same manner as a chat bot. This would further complicate the discovery as to whether the chatbot spoke like a human or not. This is one variable that needs to be considered. also, I doubt that one judge is sufficient, as well. But hey, what do I know?

Well, actually, Forge bots do have memory capacity; see the Book of A.I.. It is certainly very primitive compared to human memory, but it can happen that a bot in one session can bring up something that happened earlier in the session, or even in an earlier session. The Forge memory system is fairly primitive in certain ways, however.
