Sex robots...

 

[WinterBorn]

I doubt they are a threat to human intimacy. But they are a threat to hookers.

Hey there was a special on TV a few weeks back about this, when they are finished building them you almost can't tell the difference. You can program them to cook, clean and have sex and then shut them off and you don't have to listen to them.

How about to the human race?

Cooking function would be awesome

Well look at is this way, you don't have to feed them, provide health insurance, take them to the doctor other than lube them up once in a while to keep parts working. If you don't plan to take them out in public don't have to clothe them. Just look at the benefits. Damn the more that pops in mind I'm looking over at my spouse now and just thinking. lol

You don't even have to name them, just say "Hey You come here" That way you don't forget their name.

People who would choose a sex robot have a problem with human intimacy to begin with.

Sex robots if they would be mass marketed are more of a threat to human civilisation, you cannot produce children with a sex robot, without children ie. future generations then human civilisation ends.

You know some robopimp is gonna amass a stable of 'em and program them to hit the streets somewhere. I foresee a day when we’ll have laws to keep them an ordained distance from schools, churches and day care centers. I don’t worry too much about them with access to the centers of power since we already have accepted whores, pimps and thieves in leadership positions.

If anyone in the power structure gave a flying fuck about future generations and hominid societies we would have seen some evidence of that by now. If there is money in this for the substantial people, mark it down as done.
