Experts Question Moral, Ethical Use of Robots as Sex Toys

The $30 billion sex tech industry is reportedly ready to unveil a robot wired for intimate human relations, but two researchers say the sexbot might not be a healthy choice.

In a report published Monday in the journal BMJ Sexual & Reproductive Health, Chantal Cox-George, a doctor at St. George's University Hospitals in Britain, and Susan Bewley, an obstetrician at King's College London, say there is no evidence to back up suggestions sex robots are a way to promote safe sex or used as therapies for people with companionship problems.

"We advise that sexbots shouldn't be used in medical practice, at least not unless that forms part of robust and ethical research," said Cox-George, according to The Washington Post.

"Might not be a healthy choice"?

Why?
Robots won't have a headache
Robots are always in the mood
Robots won't judge you
Robots can be programmed to do what you like in bed
Robots don't care if I am the only one satisfied
Robots don't nag after about cuddeling
Robots are't off for a week with "Aunt Flo".
Robots don't need dinner, flowers, and Jewelry to get them into bed
Robots don't have relatives I have to pretend to like at holidays

The plus side for a Robot lover is endless!

Isaiah 5:20-21 King James Version (KJV)

20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
