From the article: > "If I have sex with a human-like robot that I’m free to dominate and objectify, then my brain is not going to be able to compartmentalize that behavior as robot-specific" This is ignoring the fact that lots of people already have crazy BDSM sex behind closed doors, and that prostitutes have existed since the dawn of time. You don't need robots to see that people are in fact able to compartmentalize their behavior. I know, because I've been part of the BDSM scene, and I don't just assume that every woman out there wants to be dominated. When realistic sex robots come out, they are going to sell, and yes, the clients will likely be over 95% male. I don't think this will lead to some collapse of society. I think it will give sexually frustrated people a good outlet. That might not be such a terrible thing. Maybe we'll end up living in a society that's slightly more relaxed when it comes to sex. There's some interesting implications to think about. For one, you can obviously make sex robots look as tall and thin as you want. It will be difficult for flesh and blood humans to compete with them in terms of appearance. You could say this will lead to even more unhealthy body image standards, but maybe it will be the opposite. At some point, when the sex robots end up looking like anime characters, trying to compete with the said sex robots in terms of appearance will become entirely pointless. The likely outcome of that is some kind of counter-culture of people who don't wear makeup, don't spend tens of hours at the gym and generally don't try to look like superfit robots... Who knows, maybe having a slight weight surplus will end up being a turn on for lots of people, because it's kind of obvious evidence that you are in fact not a robot.
