This fetish origins...

I'm not sensitive. If anything, I'm insensitive. I rarely feel true emotion,

Hmm, yes. That's a side effect of being overly sensitive for me. Emotion leads to emotion-overload, so I dismiss it all the time.

As the "get off my lawn" type, you should run. Run fast and don't look back.

I think you entirely missed the point. Anyone who's an excellent shot and have military and civilian awards to prove it wouldn't mess around on other people's lawns. Saw the movie? If not, do it. It's great.

As for me, I think it all started when I saw a videoclip for Bjork - All Is Full of Love. I can't remember the exact date, but I think it was either in the end of May 2002, or in the beginning of June 2002. So, I saw robots in this videoclip...and something "clicked" inside of me.

A few days later, I saw another interesting music video about androids (two manbots): Alpinestars & Brian Molko - Carbon Kid. After watching these videos I decided to add some android characters (both fembots and manbots) to my sci-fi stories. These stories were naive and silly, of course, but it was a good practice for my writing skills.

In September 2006 I saw one particular scene from Quake 4 - yes, I'm talking about stroggification scene (the protagonist is being transformed into a cyborg). This scene is VERY brutal, bloody and extreme. But I became interested in transformations (cyborgization and robotization) because of this scene.

In the middle of April 2007 one of my friends (she liked Quake 2 and Quake 4 too) wrote a small fanfic for me - a fanfic about one of my female OCs being stroggified. It's very difficult to describe my feelings and thoughts about this fanfiction... Well, I liked it A LOT. So I think this little gift from my friend "cemented" my interest in transformations. 1,5 years later I wrote a Quake 4 fanfiction inspired by aforementioned fanfic (and readers liked it). And some years later I decided to write a "proper" story about transformation (maybe I'll post it here).

P.S. Sorry for my bad English, it's not my native language

Looking at some of the responses, I guess I might have misunderstood the point of the topic when I first saw it. My answer which aligns with the preceding ones (short version) is a mix between the liner note images in the Smash Mouth "Astro Lounge" album, various robot girls and women on TV, and my own personal mental explorations. The long version I posted in another topic.

The word "origins" however inspired a more... "historical" concept, I think. Like, the Fembot kink through history. Where did it come from? When and how did it start? Did they have this kink as long as they had other kinks? If not, when and more importantly, why did it start? If so, what did they use for fembots? Fembots made from rocks or clay? Maidens clad in chain-armor? How did attitudes toward it change over time?

My postulation got a little absurd at the end there, but the main idea, though. We all have our own individual stories of how we arrived at a common destination, but how did we all survive before the coming of Futura-Maria in "Metropolis" (1927)? What part of our brain chemistry let us look at this idea then smile, shrug our shoulders, and think "Yeah, okay"? I, personally, don't know.
