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.

That’s five minutes I will never get back.
The only way to be sure is to give them the Voit-Comp test.
Make sure that you ask every female on the first date if she knows what a tortoise is.
Most of these women have never been married, have no kids, and are even knock-out gorgeous in their 40s.
I can understand having one of these bots as a gag gift, out with the boys on a bachelor party or something. But as a companion?
What if you're sleeping and you wake up and that thing pulls a Chucky on you?
I suppose they could be programmed to take half of your stuff, your kids and sue for alimony long after the sex has stopped, if one really wants reality...
Nossir. You ask them this. "You're in a desert, walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down and see a tortoise. It's crawling toward you. You reach down and flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over. But it can't. Not with out your help. But you're not helping. Why aren't you helping? WHY???!?
What sick, sad, depraved, void of joy & emotion times we’re living in.
Thanks, Democrats! *SPIT*
Is that another one of your entries for the worst first sentence in a novel? ;)
of course they never tell you about coming home to find your sex robot cheating on you with the toaster.
Ping.
Democrats are already devoid of reality so they’ll be their number one customers.
The one guarantee is there will be LOTS of unintended consequences to sex robots being common.
That, there, is a great sentence. It just takes a couple of drinks and...
There is this thing called mgtow that is gaining popularity with younger men as well as the older guys. Men going their own way is what it stands for. They reject cohabitation and marriage. That crowd is fertile ground for actually replacing a real woman for said sex bot.
As a man who once got divorced against his will, I can also understand one of their central tenants: Which is besides sex, what does the modern woman bring to the table? Their thinking is not much. Hence the appeal of the sex bots.
Sure, but if you use the long version, then she might have time to squeeze your eyes into your brain.
that’s the point at which the replicant that you are harrassing aims his gun at you under the table and shoots you
