Robots Created For Sex With Humans


Woman with male sex robot

This month a group of engineers/inventors made the announcement they had created robots specifically for sex. The sex robots are expected to be available for sale in the near future. Robot penis or robot vagina - I don‘t think so. Sorry, but this sounds strange, creepy and mentally unhealthy. Robot sex need not become the norm. How could a robot, a piece of plastic, possibly be the same as a human being made of flesh and blood.

A robot is not a real person. It’s an inanimate object. Not to mention, what happens if the robot malfunctions and electrocutes you down there. How ever will you explain those injuries in the emergency room. Robot burn (LOL). You would never pee the same again.

STORY SOURCE

By 2050, human-on-robot sex will be more common than human-on-human sex, says report

10:10AM BST 29 Sep 2015 - A shocking new report from a futurologist reveals predictions about the future of sex and robots.  Can you imagine having sex with a humanoid robot? Apparently, this will be the norm in a few short decades. Futurologist Dr Ian Pearson has released a report in which he predicts the future of sex.

He released the report in partnership with Bondara, one of the UK's leading sex toy shops.
Dr. Pearson makes the point that robotic sex toys - vibrators - have been in use for around a century, and that virtual reality porn is about to become mainstream.

So, what really is the taboo around sex robots - which have got some campaigners incredibly fired up?...
 

Who's Sweating the Sexbots?

Sep 30, 2015 - While sex robots do reflect troubling gender dynamics, they hardly doom humanity to a future of exploitation and empty relationships. In 2014, the Pew Research Center released a report titled “AI, Robotics, and the Future of Jobs,” in which it surveyed experts on the future of "intelligent digital agents permeating vast areas of our work and personal lives."

Though most of the report focused on robots in the realm of work, Stowe Boyd, the lead researcher for GigaOM Research, also offered a more intimate prediction for robots’ roles: "Robotic sex partners will be a commonplace,” he said, “although the source of scorn and division, the way that critics today bemoan selfies as an indicator of all that's wrong with the world."

The latter part of his prediction has already come to pass. Earlier this month, two robotics researchers, Kathleen Richardson of De Montfort University in the U.K. and Erik Billing of the University of Skövde in Sweden, launched the Campaign Against Sex Robots. “These kinds of robots are harmful and contribute to inequalities in society,” they write on the campaign’s website. "As humanoid robots become more widespread it is necessary to develop an engaged ethical response to the development of these new technologies."

"Surrogates" Film Review

Title: Surrogates

Year Of Release: 2009

Review Date: June 31, 2010

Rating: PG-13

Running time: 97 minutes

Box Office Gross: $122,444,772

Site Rating: 2 out of 10 stars

"Surrogates" starring Bruce Willis, is about a world, where robot clones are built for people to live vicariously through them, whilst engaging in risky and dangerous behavior, they normally would not participate in. This film is a rip-off of Arnold Schwarzenegger's "The Sixth Day."

The plot of "Surrogates" lingers over a group of people, appalled at the idea of robot clones, labeling it unnatural. They take action to put an end to the program - literally - via infecting the mainframe with viruses and spyware.

Spoiler Alert: Willis' character is actually a prettied up, youthful FBI agent, robot surrogate, being controlled by the older, human version of himself. At least if need be, the robot could have gotten a computer system together, unlike the real FBI.

This film wasn't anything special, just your run of the mill rip-off of a project that was already done. The acting was average and the special fx mundane.
