One could have theoretically written a similar article before the availability of porn, about porn.
But porn today is freely available.
And yet, most people still date and form families.
And those males who cannot ,might be less violent, but they are not happy. Because humans need love - and it's hard to see a robot offering that.
So I suspect sex robots won't offer a big change over porn. Maybe a gradual continuation of current trends.
- pattusk 6y agoOne could make the same case for prostitution. It is legalized or decriminalized in many countries (Australia, Netherlands, Germany...), so sex is widely available to those who need it and the price is not particularly high either. Especially in comparison to current sex doll prices. So my guess is that this article is unnecessary alarmist and reductionist and that its predictions are unlikely to become true because what men want out of a relationship or even just a sexual encounter is more than just a quick discharge.
- joe_the_user 6y agoWell, it seems like all the pro and anti "sex robots" articles jump from present day animated sex dolls to full, credible simulations of a human sexual partner. That's quite a leap indeed. If you have that, a lot of other things would change certainly but there's no indication that this is about to happen.
- petra 6y agoTrue, we're far from a credible simulation. But even if we had that, simulation isn't love. Deep down we'll know it's a lie.
