Could Robot Prostitutes Be the Future?

Apr. 20, 2012 8:00pm

Feminists often complain about women being objectified, but what happens if objects are actually constructed to look – and act – like women? According to some New Zealand researchers studying the sex industry, and how it may evolve in the coming years, that may be precisely what’s on the horizon. Fox News sums up the study, which predicts that the sex industry might move full tilt into offering up robot prostitutes:

Ian Yeoman and Michelle Mars of the Victoria Management School in Wellington, New Zealand, wrote about an imaginary brothel in Amsterdam’s red-light district called Yub-Yum.

The research paper titled Robots, Men And Sex Tourism describes the brothel as being “modern and gleaming with about 100 scantily clad blondes and brunettes parading around in exotic G-strings and lingerie,” io9 reported.[...]

They said clients would pay $9,500 for an “all-inclusive service,” featuring lap dances and intercourse from “a range of sexual gods and goddesses of different ethnicity, body shapes, ages, languages and sexual features.[...]

They also predicted robot prostitution would put a stop to human trafficking associated with the sex industry.

In effect, the paper predicts that RealDolls will be made sentient. Depending on your point of view, this is either deeply disturbing or a welcome potential escape from the exploitation involved in the sex industry. Unfeeling robots are far preferable to living, breathing, easily hurt people, but on the other hand, wouldn’t this simply reinforce the culture of consequenceless sex that’s been built up in America?

And let’s not even get into what certain Secret Service Agents might think…

      Well, it looks like the sex trade will have to unionize.
      Finally, a union YOU can screw.

      Too funny. Or how about shutting them off for a week out of each month. When they start complaining you just reach over for hug and shut’em down for a week, then turn them back on to hear… “Hi, honey. Can I make you a sandwich?

    The culmination of robotic research to come up with this……. This has to be the lamest waste of research money ever. Robotics could be used for so much better things like surgery, aiding the blind, helping the invalid, but no this is what they decided to do with it. This kind of thing makes me think humanity should be wiped from the face of the planet, it seems we deserve it.

      Don’t forget things that go ‘boom’ and tear stuff up to be rebuilt — Not REAL sure why ‘troops’ are even needed anymore – after all – the ‘biggest’ complaint’ has been that the ‘enemy’ didn’t “fight fair” — since recorded history…

      Anytime we start abusing things that look human, it generalizes to real people. And I recently saved an article that stated robots esp female robots could be vectors of infection if not routinely sterilized. So there are still risks. Serial killer often start out torturing and killing small animals. I can see people practicing and eventually, when the thrill is gone, move on to real people.
      If we start using robots for prostitution, we deserve to be wiped out.

      Yeah, but it appears even the “rental” price is prohibitive. So it appears not much will change with this technological sexual advance. Those very trolls will not have enough money for even a fake woman. It’s back to watching other people have sex. Insult to injury: Now the robots are gettin’ busy and the trolls can still only watch.

    Of COURSE!

    You never saw the Woody Allen movie featuring ……. yep! an ORGASMATRON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    NEWS FLASH: The DOE just announced a $4 Billion ‘loan guarantee, funded out of the taxpayers ‘stimulus’ slush fund, to perfect an ‘orgasmatron’. The device is projected to cost only $750,000 each, but will be further supported by federal rebates so that inner city, disadvantaged single mothers can obtain one for only $200. Of course, the electricity to power the device will also be covered by federal rebate.

    So, instead of STDs, be afraid of getting a computer virus or worm?
    What happens if they are programmed with “Malicious Logic”?
    So do you get your money back if they run out of battery power in the middle, or do they come with an extension cord?
    So, do you put your johnson in the “Floppy Drive”.
    How much RAM would they come with and will they be sexy enough to make your Drive Hard?
    If you get one pregnant, could you be sued for Copyright infringement, or making illegal copies?

    Thats all folks, remember, West World did not end well.
