I wouldn't count on the westermarck effect stopping an 8 year child grown up to 16 years old from finding a 20 year old very beautiful, lecherous girl with extreme sexual diamorphisim, an eros mod trained in erotic art and who has the delusion of existing to serve my master an extremely tempting option to try at least once. Especially with the chummy disadvantage so that she was probably innocently hugging him/her several times their childhood.

So the husband is bringing home someone who really, really likes sex, is going to get lonely without company, and who is not going to go out very often, and she exists to serve her master, and who likes to be disciplined when they are naughty...somehow I just don't see them selling them very frequently with a primary purpose as maids or in child care.

So, being decanted at about Age 18 biologically, their equivalent of 25 would be 7x4=28 years later; they begin making aging rolls 128 years later, having hit the biological age of 50.
Correct misread extended Lifespan as level 4 rather than 2 levels with aging multiplication of 4 instead.

As a company do I want to wait and sell new dolls to my customers every 40 years (approximate apparent age of the doll 28) or every 10 years (apparent age of the doll 28)? Would the client base prefer fresh new young faces promising fresh new tech advances (now with eros 2 or 3 or 4) want to keep the same doll for 40 years let alone 128 years? Would their tastes change in just five years let alone 50 years? Do you really want to essentially commit to a 128 year long commitment with a living sex doll (assuming that such a relationship even remains legal for even a fraction of that time period).

What I am assuming is that people who are paying money to own someone young for sex (which is ultimately what Foxwives are built best for) is going to want to replace their current gen model with new modals at less than 1 every 40-128 years. I am assuming that someone who wants an exotic sex companion is much more likely to experiment with other exotics as well. I am further assuming that fads are going to come and go in the exotic bioroid sex market and that Fox girls will give way to next bioroid gens cat girls which will give way to the next gens vampire girls etc etc. That such fads are probably going to rotate at less than 5 years per shift (a little over 3 generations of vat grown fox girls).
