Weird Sex: Robot Sex is in All of Our Futures
Robot sex are right this very instant trending online, so naturally Shine needed to investigate.
What we found is: Yup. People like to fantasize about having sex with robots. But this fact is pulsing now because of a new report published in the very legit, non-pornographic scientific journal Futures.
In a paper called "Robots, Men and Sex Tourism," two researchers from New Zealand's University of Wellington prophesize that robots will replace prostitutes in the next thirty to forty years.
"In 2050, Amsterdam's red light district will all be about android prostitutes who are clean of sexual transmitted infections, not smuggled in from Eastern Europe and forced into slavery, the city council will have direct control over android sex workers controlling prices, hours of operations and sexual services," posit researchers Ian Yeoman and Michelle Mars.
Overall, they believe it's a good thing for our society. Paid sex will be more hygienic (depending on a robot pimp's attention to cleanliness) and could even reduce the very real problem of child trafficking and abuse.
Another modern-day problem solved, according to the paper? Cheater's guilt. It's not sex if it doesn't have a heart-beat right?
Obviously, there are several arguments, including the statement above, against encouraging a robot-loving society.
But the researcher's vision of a futuristic robot sex club is way more interesting. And guess what? They've already got a name for it.
"The Yub-Yum offers a range of sexual gods and goddesses of different ethnicities, body shapes, ages, languages and sexual features. All androids are made of bacteria resistant fire and are flushed for human fluids, therefore guaranteeing no Sexual Transmitted Diseases are transferred between consumers."
Likely to remain unchanged is the prevalence of bald men with pony-tails.
Robots caretakers, therapists, shoppers and teachers are already in development. So are uncannily human looking sex dolls. It's only a matter of time before they all mate in droves to provide a uniquely depressing sexual experience for everyone.
Clearly, people are open to the idea. See every 80s action movie ever. Also see how manynews outletsexcitedly picked up on this small paper by two dudes on the other side of the planet. Also see this guy.
Back in 2010, a New Jersey-based scientist built his own sex robot prototype named Roxxxy, which he now sells on his website for about $3000. Good news! His website has a Frequently Asked Questions section! Somewhere between the description of Roxxxy's programmable personalities, her brother-bot Rocky, and the promise that your order will be kept strictly confidential, there's this vow to customers: "Having a female or male sex robot at home will become commonplace in the future."
I hate when robot porn sites are right.
