Romancing the Robot
This weirds me out more than a bit. But apparently it's just because this topic hasn't been discussed in a positive way by the medical community. Would having sex with a robot really be more healthy than being sad and alone?

I guess robots would be OK for people who have such fantasies as threesomes or rape, since this way they won't be harming anyone; they'll be acting it out on the robot.
__________________But to use it as an alternative for human sexual relationships, I don't think that is a good idea. A person who prefers a robot over a human may not develop any interpersonal skills or intimacy. I mean, I would think a social inept person who doesn't get out much may use the robot, but what does that person get from it besides a few moments of pleasure? There won't be any real intimacy. As for programing the robots to have interpersonal skills, I still think something would be lacking emotionally there. Also, it is not a real relationship. In a real relationship, you deal with personality conflicts, emotional conflicts and so on. I get the impression that these robots would be programmed to be what its owner wants it to be, along with an on-off switch. Really, I don't think its healthy to stunt emotional and interpersonal growth. |

Yeah Diamond brought this up not to long ago(similar article) wondering if people will be wanting to marry robots too. He didn't seem to understand you buy them and they can't consent, because they aren't human...
To me it's just an overdeveloped sex toy, nothing really wrong with it, but do you really need a sex toy that needs it's own seperate closet... |

I think it's funny to talk about inability to form interpersonal relationships via a thread on an internet fan site.
My Mom's boss has a blow-up doll that he takes with him when he travels, so he has someone to sleep with. Now he can have a robot if he wants, though, not sure you can travel the robot....unless it transformed into a train, like Astrotrain, instead of a bike. |

I dunno. There are people in the world who don't really need or crave interpersonal relationships and the like. Why get up in arms about this?
