One of the most cited reasons for unhappiness is the lack of an intimate partner. This is quite different from loneliness. Best friends, internet communities and pets are excellent ways to keep from feeling lonely.
However many have difficulty making the kinds of personal connections required to maintain an intimate relationship with a sexual partner.
This is where robots come into play.
All the components are there, we simply lack the science to put them together. Dating simulators have been around for years as have sex dolls and toys. I’ve also seen YouTube videos of frightening robots that don’t give me a boner by themselves, but if you welded a Fleshlight to it then we might have a deal.
According to a recent survey I’m not the only one who feels this way.
25 million Americans recently revealed that they would have sex with a robot in an online poll. That’s approximately 9% of the total population.
Products do currently exist but they’re clunky and not nearly as sophisticated as robots we’ve seen walking up stairs and creeping out journalists at Japanese technology expos. So what are we waiting for? Slap some genitals on that Honda robot and set sail for the future.
Apparently people think it’s a waste of time and technology at this point in time. For decades science fiction writers and experts on artificial intelligence have been predicting that we’ll someday have sex and even fall in love with robots – but for now we’ll have to settle with leaning on the washing machine with an off balance load when nobody is around.
