We need to talk about sex, robot experts say

What happens when people want sentient sex robots? What are the morals on that? Taking that further what are the implications for creating sentient beings for the sole purpose of being sex slaves? And what of pedophiles who want robot children for sex and the mass production of said robot children who only exist for that purpose. Are we even ready for this?

All I'd want from potential sex bots was dirty talk about them being sex bots, "Jerk off your dick with my artificial robot-pussy. My synthetic fleshhole feels better than most real pussies and was designed to drain bareback cocks so come inside without thinking" and stuff like that. Sentient sex robots are for crazy people.
 
Sexbots would be pretty dope to have every now and then.

I'm dying here... I can't get over that I immediately recognized her from Yakuza 0; like IMMEDIATELY.
 
Citation needed mate

I don't want to Google "pedophilia escalating" at work to find citations for obvious reasons, so I'll look later.

But it's clear that many pedophiles use child pornography, then go on to real abuse. The pictures don't sate them (as I think Amirox argued when he was arrested), they encourage their interest and keep them involved in the world of pedophilia and the mindset of pedophiles. I don't think a doll would satisfy them either, it'd just create an intermediate step.

Can't we just combine the two for a superior hybrid experience.
I was actually wondering that. What if we could combine a synthetic egg and a human sperm cell. The egg would guide the fetal process into creating a human-robot hybrid. I'm down for it as long as they can transfer some of the cool shit to my body.
 
The research is mixed as to whether fantasy indulgences help suppress or inflame pedophilic desire, iirc. That wouldn't necessarily be a reason for a ban, but it's worth considering.

I am leaning on the side that fantasy indulgences could be an outlet, but I would appreciate more data before I fully endorse child sex robots, myself.

Now what's the next step in your master plan?

I'm fairly sure you mean actual real deal AI and that would most likely be developed unrelated to sex robots not that the paths of these two ideas wouldn't cross over. We'd probably have a lot more issues with AI in general than we would having to worry about people wanting to bang thinking machines.

Obviously nobody would jump straight to child molestation without having perused lower-hanging fruit. The question isn't how many child molesters previously viewed CP, the question is how many pedophiles viewed CP and never molested children. It's entirely possible that there are pedos who are sated by images, and others who would be sated by sexbots (thus kiddie sexbots would be preventing molestation of real kids).

I'd still expect anyone who actually molests children to have gotten there by way of escalation, but that doesn't in any way show that cutting out the middle steps would reduce the number who take the final step. You'll need to do better than "it's clear heroin addicts started with weed."

I predict a future of men fucking robots until one day one of the female robots refuses sex, a first ever, wanting to be more than just a sex object. The owner tries to send it back, they call it a defect, only for the robot to escape, meet up with some humans "on their side", the humans then try to hide the robot from the corporation hunting her down, and eventually the robot becomes an activist fighting for robot rights, realizing more and more robots have become sentient, a new type of conflict emerges. That, or SkyNet takes over and kills us all.

How about we compromise and create a child robot that beats the shit out of pedophiles until they stop molesting children?

The greatest scene from Ex Machina

This isn't about men either, there are women in to robots no-doubt and more-so in the future.

Regarding - a sexual therapy tool for rapists or paedophiles I don't know, there will no-doubt be some underground scene where this goes on, but as a mainstream therapy I am not so sure, wouldn't it be normalizing it, and if the robots/androids are sentient then they must have rights.

There was even this from last year, No sex, please, they're robots, says Japanese android firm
They can educate, entertain and even help with banking queries and hotel check-ins, but as sexual partners, Japan's new generation of android robots are off limits.
That is the somewhat bizarre warning issued by SoftBank, the firm that makes Pepper, perhaps the country's best-known humanoid, which went on sale earlier this year.
In its user agreement, SoftBank states: ”The policy owner must not perform any sexual act" on the robot or engage in ”other indecent behaviour".

man, at this point I wouldn't even need a sex robot, just give me something to kill my sex drive.

Not even castration gets rid of it apparently, shit's fucked. Imagine how helpful a pill that reduces all interest in sex and related stuff would be. Why aren't people working on that

Have you heard of Piers Morgan?

Damn, I wonder how radically different a world without sexual urges/drive would look? Would a lot of basic cornerstones of society fall apart?

I'd bet life would be a lot easier if I wasn't constantly distracted by the idea of sex.
I'd have so much more time for videogames I bet.

I said I wanted to stop thinking about sex not commit suicide

This sounds like the plot for the next David Cage game, Detroit: Become Human.
Maybe not the sex part... but knowing Cage he probably has something like that in there too.
 
Well considering boston dynamics was bought by a Japanese company earlier this year...I'd say we will soon get our robowaifus soon
 
Has anyone on here actually tried a fleshlight? How accurately do they simulate vagina? Of course the people who use them probably don't know what vagina feels like. Redundant question I guess.

Can robot builders successfully engineer good vagina ?

If this is the same professor Sharkey I have heard of previously, I think it's interesting to know he's also a judge on Robot Wars, lmao
 
I think child sex robots are a complicated issue that serious research would need to be done on.

I'm not very well informed on the subject and can only speculate, but I'd assume the vast majority of pedophiles are decent people that would never act on their urges. But I'd also assume they'd end up having a ton of sexual frustration.
If fucking a robot can satisfy them then let them at it.
But that's where the needed research comes in, it has to satisfy them rather than slowly normalise it in their mind.

Though thinking about sex robots in general, wouldn't they cost a shit ton of money and require heavy maintenance? I feel even if they existed barely anyone could afford them and they'd be pretty irrelevant. I guess robot brothels could be a thing.

Concerning this particular topic, surprised nobody brought up this robot sex worker.
2016-06-20rkjer.png
She lives in fucked up dystopian city that's going to become even more fucked up. The society she lives in is so bad that she's forced to used illegal modifications and weaponry.
The worst part is she hasn't been arrested or scrapped because of it.

Ridiculous statement, it's this stigma that really muddies the waters of open conversations about sexuality and sexual aids. For at least one insight,listen to Kevin Smith

Why is it that's it's socially acceptable for a woman to have sex toys but not men?

I wouldn't worry about sentient sex robots before sentient AIs in general, the current efforts on sex bots seem to be based on sticking fairly off-the-shelf level speech AIs into realdolls, I don't think they even have movement systems yet. They're not going to be cutting edge robot tech, we'll have our "do sentient AIs deserve rights?" moment with supercomputer-based systems, not consumer-grade robots.

And even if they make it move and think, it'll take a long time for the price to come down. I think the current ones cost over 10000$, that's a lot of sessions at the brothel.

Silicon is the answer.

I assume you mean silicone or that would hurt.

I hadn't thought of this before, but one day porn stars will probably be able to make tons of bucks licensing their image out to sex robot companies who make android versions of them. It's no different than a super advanced fleshlight.
