Having sex with robots is really, really bad (1 Viewer)

Just a PSA, if you were thinking about it.

Imagine: It’s 2030, or 2040, or 2050. You’re at home with your robot. It’s a hot night, and there’s not much to do. You’re feeling a little romantic. So you sidle on over …

Stop. According to a new paper, having intercourse with sex robots — a technology that’s not quite there yet, but easy to imagine in the decades to come — is unethical.

“I started thinking, ‘Oh, no, something needs to be said about this,'” Kathleen Richardson, a senior research fellow in the ethics of robotics at De Montfort University in Leicester, England, said of her early research into sex robots that recreated what she called the “prostitute-john” relationship. “This is not right.”

***

The nascent sex robot industry, however, defended its evolving product line.

“We are not supplanting the wife or trying to replace a girlfriend,” True Companion’s chief executive Douglas Hines told the BBC.

“This is a solution for people who are between relationships or someone who has lost a spouse. … People can find happiness and fulfillment other than via human interaction.”

 
Kathleen can keep her interpretation of ethics to herself. I'm saving up for this purchase and hope to still have prime 2 day shipping. As long as she is programmed to not nag or whine at me, I'm set to explore.

 
I disagree wholeheartedly.

First off, you might as well argue that vibrators are unethical.

Second off, sexy robot ladies who fulfill wishes in bed and cook dinner and do laundry when they're not in bed will be awesome.

Third off, these things will greatly reduce rape and molestation. I'm not an expert, but I am under the impression that pedos are uncurable. Most don't want to rob the innocence of youths, they just can't help themselves. Having a robot to unleash those urges on instead of on some poor kid would go a long way to protecting our children. I doubt my opinion on this facet will be popular, but I believe it is correct. A percentage of the population will always have some sick perversion, be it pedophilia, rape fantasies, whatever Dentist is into, etc. In the future, these folks can give into those urges with a robot, or via virtual reality... in which case it changes it from something with a huge negative impact on society to something that is just harmless, as it only involves themselves.

 
Also, I find it hard to trust the opinion of a woman on this topic.

Men care more about the physical than women, it is known. A sexy robot who doesn't get fat, won't cost you 1/2 of your possessions, performs like a porn star, cooks like a 5* chef, and cleans like a hungry immigrant is going to put housewives out of business imo.

The price of P is falling imo. Women are going to be against this as it harms their relationship value proposition.

Which brings up the ethical question of, "do you make an anatomically correct child robot"?

My gut tells me that would reduce the amount of molestation out there, so I say yes.

I wouldn't mind this being studied a bit first though, as my gut isn't always right.

FWIW, I'm coming from the school of thought that you cannot fix pedophilia, but maybe if you provide it with a harmless outlet, it will create less harm.

 
I am going to go with (HULK) on this one. He clearly has put a lot of thought into sex with robots, so I am willing to trust his gut.

Execution fixes it :shrug:

 
If these things ever get to the point to where they are 'good enough' or better than the real deal (just physically), I think it's being under-estimated how this will drive down marriage rates. Whether this if good/bad/neutral is debatable, but as marriage was the building block for society in general it will likely have some big time consequences.

This will also be of course lead by the the established power economies, pushing the population growth rates compared to developing parts of the world even more askew.

Nature has tired to lower our population through plagues and natural disasters, but we are hard creatures to kill. We are highly evolved roaches. I believe this type of technology will ultimately lead to lower population levels.

 
I am torn here. I don't think sex with a robot would be unethical. However, society isn't going to be cool with grown men screwing kid robots. I don't care if it may prevent rapes. It will also get a lot more people into pedophilia.

OK,

male robots

Female robots

Tranny robots

Not OK,

Animal robots

Kid robots

We are going to run into a grey area when it comes to mythical creatures & Aliens. If there was a Gnome sex robot, that's a little too pedo. Also, there isn't much of a difference between unicorn & a horse. Unicorns should be no. Octopus like Species could be big with the Asian tentacle porn crowd, so they could be fair play.

I'm going to take a bit of a leap here and assume you'd put C3PO in the "OK" group, but R2D2 in "Not OK". Correct? Seems a bit arbitrary... and leaves me wondering where the Chewbacca robot falls?

A robot that has sex with me when I want it and cooks like a 5 star chef? Pretty sure my wife would be all in favor.

I am thinking a lot of wives would be ok with this scenario.

Eh, we'll cure aging/death at about the same point in time. This will be a useful way of reducing population growth.

 
I don't think this affects marriage rates at all. How many of you married your wife only because it was the only way you could get sex?

I think what amounts to having child sex dolls would substantiate the concept of pedophilia and end up increasing the rate of non-robot pedophilia.

 
how about robot clones? I can see the Jennifer Aniston model being popular, since you can shut her down when your done..

 
My guess is that sex robots will lose a lot of popularity after the first accident involving robot malfunction and accidental amputation.

 
I've...seen things...you people wouldn't believe. A dude wrong-holing his Roomba off the shoulder of Orion; I watched a protocol droid give a starfreighter pilot a Rusty Trombone near the Tannhäuser Gate... All those... moments... will be lost, in time, like....tears... in... rain. Time... to die.

Its a consideration.

I tend to think you're either a pedo or not. It isn't the sort of thing where you're consciously choosing to partake in it. So, I don't know if I buy the child robosex as a gateway to real live pedo acts as true, but I do think it needs to be explored in depth before any decisions are finalized.

As you say, the question is conscious choice. You can be a pedo and not act on it for fear or ostracism, jail time, etc. but it doesn't eliminate the desire. My thought was that if it became accepted to have child sexbots that the fear of ostracism factor would be reduced quite a bit.

 
Asimov's little known fourth law states that all anal penetration is accompanied by a reach-around.
