America’s First ‘Robot Sex Brothel’ Is Bad News for Our Culture
The Daily Signal ^ | September 28, 2018 | Monica Burke

Posted on 10/03/2018 3:56:59 AM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

Sex robots are coming to America, and Houston is the first battleground.

The first “robot sex brothel” in America is set to open in Houston, Texas, this November. The mayor is currently investigating how to restrict or regulate it.

The owner plans to expand to 10 locations in the U.S. by 2020.

This disturbing development is sure to have a negative impact on society.

The brand of brothels, KinkSdollS, is owned by Yuval Gavriel. The first location opened in Tokyo in 2017. Clients can test the merchandise and pay by the half-hour to be alone with a doll.

Concerned citizens in Houston are right to point out that sex robots are unsafe, unsanitary, and likely to increase demand for sex trafficking.

Psychologists too have warned that sex robots could increase sex addiction. This is unsurprising given the science of pornography.

Studies suggest that pornography changes the way people think. According to a 2012 survey, “56 percent [of 1500 men] said their tastes in porn had become ‘increasingly extreme or deviant’ the more [internet] porn they watched.” The study also suggests that internet pornography is causing serious sexual dysfunction in men.

Sexual encounters with robots could cause even further problems.

Research shows that porn consumers frequently escalate into more extreme and violent forms of pornography due to the addictive nature of porn consumption. The use of increasingly lifelike sex dolls could potentially reinforce this trend, and these addictions ultimately bleed into broader society.

Congress perceived this danger and this past June, the House passed the Curbing Realistic Exploitative Electronic Pedophilic Robots (CREEPER) Act, a bill to “ban the importation and transportation of sex robots and dolls that look like children.”

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte pointed out one reason why these robots are so horrifying: “Customers can order bespoke dolls, providing pictures of specific children they would like the doll to resemble. They can indicate a preferred facial expression such as sadness or fear.”

This kind of behavior is not just unsettling, it is dangerous. Abusers can simulate violent fantasies on the dolls—bringing them one step closer to abusing real children. The same thing can be said of adult sex robots.

They will only breed the mentality of objectifying women and may contribute to the normalization of sexual violence.

Indeed, the potential effects of sex robots on society could be devastating.

So far ex #1 has cost me $312,000 in lost pension in the 20 years since I dumped her. Not hard to decide which would have been a better long term investment.

It may be bad for the culture. But given how men are treated by women and men are getting to the point of not wanting to date or get married then this is where it is going whether people like it or not.

AS they get better and more sophisticated men will buy their fantasy woman and have it at home, which is where it is really going anyway. Twilight Zone here we come.

Yep, nope.

I think I’d rather just come and go as I please, do whatever I want and keep all my stuff.

"Ideally, yes, but I expect that crazy, controlling women are about to find out how easily they are replaced."

That notion popped into my mind the first time I read about this developing industry.

For many women, their leverage (and power) is about to be taken away.

And I expect they won't go down without a fight.

Probably, but I’m not interested in fighting with them.

They can fight among themselves, I don’t care anymore.

I wonder how long it will be before these artificial females are given an AI that is friendly and agreeable instead of the natural obnoxious bitch version.

I'm sorry, but I had to LOL at that sentence.

Robots don’t make false rape claims decades later.

Interacting with a sex object with no consideration of personhood.

Ao...rape prevention or rape training?

Better a robot than an SJW Snowflake. ............................. Yeah, especially when the robot probably has more passionate feelings.

Well, I hope they’re at least 98.6 F.

Cooler adjustment for the necrophiles.

...I would still prefer to lie down with a live woman than one of these plastic masturbation aids.

At last, I've met the perfect girl
like none I've known before,
She's deaf and dumb and oversexed
and owns a liquor store!

THe whole thing is so creepy and bizarre. It is like the angst over the rise of the machines in Terminator or Matrix just vanished. Now we have a new love and victim of being denied love hysteria. Of course the music industry caused a lot of that, but they were artists. Now we got the cons and engineers behind a machine with direct interaction. We have become cattle.

WEll, some men can have interactions with women, with a brain they develop for it. Not sure what the next hysteria will be when women lose the collective intelligence of gathering men around themselves to the robots, or that of men whose brain development is crippled listening to women telling them to go f themselves with their sex robot and not even try talk to real women...

Suffice to say that the way to hell is far and wide with many dumbed down men falling for a cyber-con whereas few intelligent ones will stay away and instead talk to people every day.

Interesting times.

“I have often wondered that if it were not for the prospect of sex, if that was totally removed from the equation, would men put up with women at all? Would they hang out with them for even one second?”

From your question, I’m guessing you wouldn’t.

Me, I’m not sure. There are a number of things that I like about women besides sex. They can be nice to talk with, to spend time with, among other things. With a woman you can expose your vulnerabilities and soft side (where your male friends would all mock you mercilessly).
