  • What effect on society will realistic sex robots have?

    I'm wondering if there will be a push to outlaw them once the economic realities would sink in.



    Who will lose out? My thinking is that mostly average guys will opt for artifical, the too poor to afford Jessica Alba companion 3.4 will probably be celibate or settle for bottom catch. The alpha males will most likley be unaffected since they alread live in a world of plenty, possibly there would be more of them since the standard would be lowered.


    Women? I think most that can afford sex robots will probably buy them, but they are less likley to use them as full time substitutes as many beta men will.

    Prostitutes of both sexes would have their profits slashed. Marriage would be less affected since a wife would still have the monopoly on reproduction, but on the other hand I think less people would end up married since long term childless monogamy simply wouldn't make economic sense and I don't see to many people eager to get a GF or BF just so they can make offspring as soon as possible.

    Is this peyote or mushroom induced? It has to be one of them.

        There was an episode of Futurama about that IIRC.
        Check it out. It was pretty acurate with regards to the effect on society.

          We'll probably get a new wave of terrorism from this. 'Sex Bomb' will finally get a literal meaning

            The incidence of STD's would be reduced.

                    They could be an investment for men if they included a refrigeration unit - use it for couple weeks and drop off the sperm at a donation center.

                      Sex robots would have to have mechanisms for self-cleaning and sanitizing. Extensive use of such robots would, therefore, function as a barrier to STD transmission which in turn would reduce STD incidence. I would've thought it fairly obvious

                        Hera, did you watch Madventures last night?

                        If you guys don't watch that show you should. It's like a "what if you sent Pekka with some veggie camera guy to foreign locals and to seek out the strangest parts of that destination."
