> How might we describe this nascent identity? Twist and McArthur ask. How can we protect those who inhabit it from stigma or persecution? Wait, wait... before we go inventing and protecting new perversions, we should fully celebrate the ones we already have. Up with Zoophilia! Honestly the "sex robots" thing feels like someone trying to kick a waterbed uphill. Those that enjoy intamacy with the inanimate don't really need the "looks human" part of "robot", and those who don't enjoy that which is not alive will not get over that to the point of finding a machine enjoyable, i think. The VR people aren't even working towards the kind of soft robotics actuator technology we need for good sexual experiences with machines. They're closer than anyone else, however they only admit to trying to interface with the "politer" body parts.
