Re: Men's Health Article - Sex Robots
I might agree that anyone who feels lonely is in a fundamentally sad situation, but those seeking to mitigate that loneliness via dolls have taken a pro-active step into a more hopeful, positive situation. And if dolls work for that (now formerly) lonely person? So much the better.Daydream21 wrote:Yes, it's interesting that the author of the article makes a sweeping statement about doll/"robot" ownership being "fundamentally sad" -- yet he gives the concept of doll ownership some respect by envisioning a future where artificial women can be truly fulfilling if only their technological development advances.rubherkitty wrote:Many are content to have a doll in current development.
Would it be preferable if everyone had a perfect human relationship (or set of relationships) and no one ever suffered loneliness? Sure, but this is reality, not Shangri-La, Loneliness is a growing epidemic in this culture. Anything that fights loneliness is deeply necessary.
Further, as the article indicates, but does not state, the social stigma will gradually melt away as the industry moves from static silicone and TPE dolls into increasingly versatile and attractive robotic companions.
Time is on our side.

Re: Men's Health Article - Sex Robots
I have a hot little sex doll for sex. Not to ease loneliness. When time allows, I am really leaning towards installing some type of AI in her though mainly to make the interaction with her more realistic. I'm 100% on board to having gynoids and androids for whatever a persons desires are.
