Thank you for your sensibility.

It would depend entirely upon what one is seeking in a mate. The discussion can't be limited to those who seek a submissive partner, although this would certainly be a selling point for some.

If you think about it, from a scientific stand point, creating a human like cybernetic being which is designed to bond sexually with a specific individual would simply be the act of man taking the wheel in a process which god or nature already carries out.

Two people bond together because the chemicals produced by their respective brains creates an ideal situation where pairing becomes inevitable. Whether that process comes about as a result of god or nature is another debate. But if science one day finds a way to take control of and mimic this process, then it seems to me as though we'll all be infinitely happier. Men and women will be able to produce children in a lab and spend their lives with a cybernetic partner who is designed to be their perfect life mate.

@webbew1 One point. God did not create anything. Just a way for the ignorant to explain an unknown

Did you watch the video. I'm fairly certain the one guy with 3 of them contradicts your statement. To some degree if not completely.

Sleeper with the Orgasmatron!

Even rowing in mud?

If you feel you must.

@Maya405 Ummm. There's even websites for that. Well in mud anyway.

Don't you think, in a misogynist male culture, it's not just about 'scratching the itch', so to speak?

I was answering the part about whether or not I would use one. During partnerless phases, I might. Others might have different uses for one, I suppose.

Just like in real life?

that's right lol

By that logic, anyone using vibrators (or any other sex toy) is psychologically unbalanced... where's the line? Seems a little reactionary and puritan to come to that conclusion.

I agree. It is greed and sexism.

"any one that derives pleasure from this sort of thing is psychologically unbalanced"

I think I would argue that being a benefit to society, if it kept them from producing children that could carry those genes. I can think of some other situations these bots could be beneficial. Am I the only one who at times think certain people just should not reproduce?

@Maya405 Is it sexist? In what ways is it sexist? I can see that it objectifies women, there's even a service to have custom faces made for them, but the people involved are already objectifying the subject of their attraction. In addition there are a very small minority who are attracted to the machine itself. What of the versions made for women (apparently there are plenty of customers)? Sex toys in general? The robots do not seem to me to change the existing power imbalance either way. To that end I don't think their production can be classed as sexist. Some of their users will be, but not all.

@William_Mary an actual eugenicist AND happy to admit it? Wow! (not a good wow)

The 'people' are going to be as 'healthier and happier' with robot sex as they are with masterbation and prostitution..

It would reduce rape and sexual violence only if the motivation for such is just sexual. If the motivation for rape and sexual violence is more like domination then a robot will not do.

It's not going to reduce either rape or exploitation, rather it'll add to it.

Speculative nonsense.

I so wish that your predictions come true.

@Maya405 I do not understand how any human would want to have sex with a robot. It is he emotional intimacy with another human being that makes good sex so enjoyable.

There goes the "inflatable babe " industry. Lol

Not necessarily... they might be more affordable than the robots.

apparently they do, with detachable bits.

If something so based in gender exploitation appears inevitable, should we not even protest?

@Maya405 I suspect there will be male robots too ... And if everbody's happy , why would this be exploitation ?
