The Age of Sex Robots is upon us. Numerous science fiction authors, with a degree of jittery anticipation, have predicted this development for years. Yet it has not seemed feasible until recently.
The New York Times just ran a substantial profile on the impending rise of virtual reality porn and sex robots, and stirrings of anxious excitement are palpable in other media outlets. A strange and terrible new world is dawning, but let’s not cue up “Also Sprach Zarathustra” quite yet. Far from being a boon dispensed from on high, the impending sex robot revolution threatens to destroy our entire sense of reality.
Unfortunately, a dash of cute therapeutic language can make anything sound borderline acceptable, including sex robots. Sex robot manufacturer Matt McMullen told the Times, “Based on our experiences with thousands of clients, people do use them [sex robots] for sex, but there is something more that exists. We focus on companionship… There are people who are already lonely, and people who live their lives being alone. They work all day and come home to an empty house. This is just offering an alternative to those types of people. They don’t have anyone else.”
Before a sad violin starts playing for all the lonely people—the Eleanor Rigbys longing for the steady but sure companionship of a sex robot—note it is much more depressing to imagine McMullen’s version of his customers than to imagine a bunch of horny idiots who just want to have sex with a humanoid hunk of plastic and rubber.

Hmm, never thought of that. Interesting thoughts. Would have to be a government mass purchase and program to pay for said trollops. Beats hell out of internal problems of unbalanced demographics.....
And they have a bad habit of leaving their empty oil cans all over...
Nope. The NEW Blade Runner that came out this year.
That’s the hot Cuban Ana de Armas and you can also see Ryan Gosling standing there.
indeed
Not true.
Reddit is full of young neck beards all playing MGTOW.
They have several huge subreddits they all commensurate with each other on Reddit.
I wish I could remember the names.
That’s alright - not sure I’d want to read the dismal stuff, anyway.
Men are right to protest their disadvantage in divorce; the way many are treated by the courts is wrong. But it saddens me that so many decide to turn away from possible happiness by believing that the past is necessarily indicative of the future.
I believe that how you think about things and the convictions that you hold have great bearing on what happens to you. Even if you don’t believe that one ‘attracts trouble by thinking trouble’, you undoubtedly make yourself an unpleasant person, and cut yourself out of opportunity, by believing in and always expecting the worst.
Good advice!
And the name I was thinking of was Incels. Dang if I know what that means, and I just checked and the whole subreddit got banned!
Yes, well: Even when they are making a robot that is NOT for sex, but just to practice technology - it seems to always be styled Female.
That seems to say something interesting about the (predominantly) male engineers who build these things...
(And when you buy a GPS or other technological gizmo that talks at you, the voice is almost always female-sounding.)
This guy has apparently made a male one ‘in his own image’; but also a female:

Banned? Well, that’s weird!
Good point. I've noticed that too.
However, this article is about sex robots.
