The sex robot industry is thriving, with some academics predicting that humans will be having more sex with robots that with each other by 2050.
But while many people find the idea of sex with a mechanical object abhorrent, academics are keen to find out who is most willing to embrace (literally) this new technology.
Speaking at the Love and Sex with Robots conference at Goldsmiths, University of London, Jessica M. Szczuka from the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany took on the preconceptions of lonely men shacking up with cyber-lovers.

I guess it’s an odd take on vegetarianism.
If she can walk to the kitchen, you don’t deserve a sandwich.
I guess it’s an odd take on vegetarianism.
Weird beyond imagination.
But in the end, we have the last word about how we react to how we are made.
And we can, if we really, really try...make ourselves.
People need to quit dismissing this like it’s a stupid fad for socially inept nerds.
A robot “girlfriend” will never betray you, nag you, consume all your disposable income, or take half of everything you ever made when it gets tired of you.
Will it ever be as good as the real thing? Probably not. But it will be close enough.
Men younger than me are refusing to get married. If I were their age, I wouldn’t either. The risks outweigh the benefits anymore. This even true among men in church. Frankly, when I was dating, I found that the most well adjusted women I dated were *non believers*, a situation that should not be so.
Sex robots will drive the final nail in marriage’s coffin, and I don’t blame men who choose that route at this point. Things need to change.
What?
I guess so. But what happens when the robots realize they don't need us?
People who can?
Cherry 2000 looks interesting!

Maybe we’ll make nice pets.
Or possibly even better.
The real thing was only a dream except for a few lucky ones.
And I'm not just thinking about the sex. In fact, I am thinking mostly about the companionship (too old and too devout for sex).
I would much rather deal with an intellectual robot woman who has a massive curiosity about life...than a sullen human female that makes impossible demands of it.
They get unplugged.
But,, would Laz hit it?
The answer is easy...Charlie Sheen.
With most in today’s world hoping in bed with people they just met, cannot imagine why anyone would be so sick as to want to use a robot.
But then, I’m two generations past todays youth......
Sick. Really, really sick.
It could shut down the Islamists in droves. Those that didn't conform to the status quo would "off themselves" in shame for the illicit desire.
LOL! If there is a divorce, for example, she will demand the robot, just to spite hubby bubby! Interesting events related to these things! And, why not make them part of the IoT (the Internet of Things)? The features would be many!
Your points are well taken.
