Here's the naughtiest view I've ever seen of the spot between two cylinder blocks in a 1940s airplane engine. Specifically, it's a shot Elsie took of the Daimler Benz engine, which helped power the Messerschmitt 110 that Rudolf Hess flew to the U.K. in 1941. This precisely the kind of mechanical engineering porn that's going to become popular when artificial intelligences and autonomous robots form a target market for smut peddlers on the internet. Want to see what else the fully-sentient spawn of your iPod is going to search the net for late at night?
This is a Mitsubishi 4G32 engine that's been all taken apart and repainted. It looks so naked and vulnerable. And it has that amazing, long exhaust manifold . . . that just needs to be connected to something. dave_7 took this picture, and I'm certain he never thought a horny robot of the future would be drooling over the size of his exhaust manifold.
Jeff Kubina took this shot that looks deep inside the Saturn 5 rocket — you can see just a hint of the engine that lurks inside. It's sort of the close-up gonzo view of an engine. Seriously hot, if you get what I mean.
If you just can't wait for a world packed with artificial intelligences, you'd better be prepared for their porn. Luckily, the internet is already full of it — which means some things in the future may stay pretty much the same.

Where are your researchers? Hess flew to England (Scotland actually) in May, 1941.
@bjarmson: Fixed!
So who wants to be the robo-Georgia O'Keeffe?
A robo-Kinsey would be cool.
Why should this be porn just for robots? Send this to Jalopnik so it can be porn for us humans. Although the Saturn 5 leaves me feeling seriously inadequate!
I'm enough of a gearhead to recognize that the Daimler-Benz engine is displayed upside-down. Mmmm, Elektron castings!
That saturn shot looks like goatse-shuttle. Definitely robo-porn for the kinkier droid.
Come to think of it, wouldn't a robot from the future being aroused by this be the equivalent of a human watching the monkeys at the zoo bump very uglies to get the blood pumping? I bet the thing that comes to CPU isn't

But then again, it is fetish photography. Someone is bound to get their bolts off to it.
I'm 100% bonemeal and suet, but sweet Jesus Hironymo Christ...this stuff makes ME feel a little twitchy.
@tyr540: Yep, and a Freud-Droid wouldn't hurt, either.
Dayum. Oooh. Yeahhhh.
I would imagine robo-porn to be more like HR Giger's work.

Will you get a load of her valves! Huba-huba. Robotic porn? Humans can be pretty fetishistic, so maybe there are men and women who like to get off with mother boards,(it's even nastier when you can add incest to the mix). I think I might be able to have a relationship with an AI if it was packaged correctly and could cook and clean and do lots of other things. You know, like a hot woman from the past!
This topic reminded me of this comic, from Diesel Sweeties
@Signal: That's one of, I think, 6 turbines that run flood control pumps. About the size of the ones on the A380.
Dead sexy! /Fat Bastard accent
