‘Sex-bots’ – Good or Bad?
An interesting opinion piece just came out on Newsweek. the opinion is that “Sex Robots Could Empower Pedophiles and Sex Offenders”.
Sex robots (or ‘Sex-bots’) are anatomically correct sex toys with features designed to simulate real human characteristics. Imagine a cross between a blow-up doll and Teddy Ruxpin, but with all the latest technology.
They make ‘sex-bots’ to appeal to a wide variety of preferences, including race and gender. But they also make some robots which many people feel “cross the line”, most specifically ‘pedo-bots’ which are made to appear like children.
On one end of the argument; these ‘bots’ can produce “harm limitation”, meaning someone who has a sexual inclination, can “get whatever they need out of their system” with a robot, rather than seeking out an actual person. Similar to the use of dildos or vibrators – one would use them for gratification, rather than engaging in behavior that could be risky.
On the other end of the argument is that these ‘bots’ can lead to actual offending. Once someone gets tired of their robot, they may actually seek out a live victim. Like the argument that pornography is a “gateway” to actual offending.
The opinion piece was prompted by a study I, Sex Robot: the health implications of the sex robot industry that study analyzed the ‘sex-bot’ industry and asks whether the bots promote safer sex, have therapeutic value, can be used to treat people with deviant urges. Their conclusion was that it’s too early to tell whether there’s any medical/therapeutic benefit to sex-bots or whether these new sex toys will lead to more harm.

The haters out there WANT us locked up…for ANY reason.
It doesn’t have to be a good reason or a legitimate reason.
They HOPE we will reoffend so they feel justified in their hatred. I’m sure they would be against sex-bots for SOs because there would NOT be a crime involved.
There are a lot of people on the registry who were once young and beautiful, but are now old and ugly. As George Burns used to say in his act after reading negative comments about his escorting the 18 year old Brooke Shields to various events. “I liked 18 year old girls when I was 18; why wouldn’t I like them now?” This was when he was nearing a 100 years old.
When sexbots reach the AI level portrayed in the HBO series “Human”(with last “A”a in the title displayed upside down) I would buy several (and go in deep debt to do it!)
The best thing that an RSO can do is disappoint the haters by not re-offending.
Well, if they are manufactured in the US, that means high paying jobs for Americans…………..as long as they are not on the registry.. MAGA!!!!!!! 🙂
