Cherry 2050?

Fifty years late, but experts now predict that sexbots will be widespread (no pun intended) by 2050, and that they'll be better than the real thing:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,351274,00.html

Well, is Cherry 2050 coming (pun definitely intended)?

Personally, I can see it for men--fembots would be a lot easier to engineer, basically they just have to lie there, look hot and throb. For women, not so easy. And while it may be an enjoyable fantasy to have that perfect robo-girl at your beck and call, I don't think real women are in danger (yet) of being replaced.

So in 2050 you'll be able to find your perfect woman?

I find this part:

South Korean and Japanese rent-a-sex-doll services have proven themselves successful so far. In the very least, it’s safe to say that there will be a demand for these virtual beings, at least initially.

Who the hell would want to rent a sex doll? Seriously...

This must have been thought up by a nerd;
"oh no she's trying on men's clothing again!"
{manual states} press Ctrl+Alt+Del to turn her off, then send her back to the brothel where you bought her.
It sounds sad, but i think there's probably loads of folk who'd want one.

If they confine android functioning to woman-on-top, then it would just be a dildo with a really large base. What would be harder is constructing an "active" android. That's where I see the problem.

But then, active fembots would be a problem too.

Does anyone else find this prospect deeply disturbing? And I'm not saying this in a sarcastic or flippant way, I mean seriously. It really disconcerts me to think of a) doing anything with one - you're having sex - one of the most natural acts possible - with A ROBOT, and b) the idea of them being available to people, what sort of person buys a prosthetic person to have sex with? Seriously, dildos and sex toys are one thing, but an actual surrogate human being?

Someone who has no self esteem and can't get a human sex partner

Pedophiles who would rather not actually hurt children

Someone who has a lot of self esteem but just can't find a sex partner

Germophobes

Those with STD's who can't or wont get a sex partner

a couple who wants a threesome but is too insecure to include a real person in the mix for fear of their other half falling for them

Someone who can get a sex partner but not the the specifications that they really crave


those are just a few of the ideas I came up with off the top of my head.

But robots aren't human beings or persons. They will just be advanced sex toys. You could have sex with them like you have sex with your hand or something.

Haha, well said.

And speaking only for myself, the thrill of sex is about being so close to another person and opening yourselves up to and being vulnerable with each other. The physical sensation, for me, is a much lesser part of it, hence, even if there was a sex toy that produced physical feelings even better than sex, there probably is one around now, I would still prefer actual sex as the physical sensation isn't the biggest part of the experience for me.

I understand however that I am only myself and not anyone else, and am making no attempt to generalise this point of view to anyone else.

I can't agree. I'm in my thirties, in a stable relationship, and I can see the appeal of a better-than-real sexbot. One thing about sex is that it's time-consuming, and there are scheduling concerns (both parties need to be simultaneously available and interested). The sexbot solves a lot of those problems.

This reminds me of the Virtual Mode series by Piers Anthony. In the super-science world, they had these genetically engineered human/animal hybrids called "nulls" that were used for--among many other things--sex, precisely for the sort of reason you point out, in addition to simply spicing things up and keeping things from becoming too boring.

That's what I see these sexbots as. They're not just for the people who can't find a lover.

Wow. You are in serious need of decent sex. Whoever it is you've been sleeping with (presumably fairly immature girls with serious sex issues) has got to go. Find yourself a girl that doesnt have serious hangups and actually enjoys sex - you are watching the shadows of life, turn around and see the real thing.

We should definitely adopt the convention mentioned in Asimov's The Stars Like Dust: Robots must have a distinctive name. In Asimov's book, they are required to have the first initial "R." I suggest that any sexbot's name must have the word "bot" in it. Debrabot. Dylanbot. Jehoshabot!

Perhaps we could take that even further, and require letters to designate the technical level of the sex bot. I think it's important to know, when being introduced to a sex bot, whether it's likely to come on randomly or whether it's one of those early models which respond only to specific key-words.
