Ethics of sex robots

[AFTT47]

So they are starting to make sex dolls with robotics and a little computer.

What do you guys think of the ethics of this, if it takes off and becomes a more popular thing in the future? Do you think it may have a negative impact on relationships, society, women, sex, etc? Or will it be a positive thing? Or just a neutral, harmless thing?

Thoughts please.

I think there are a lot of options for introverts to remain introverted, probably to an unhealthy degree.  This seems like just another log on that pile.  Seems like it'd be hard to come back from fucking a sex robot to finding a real girl.  It seems like quite the detour.

I won't comment about the psychological healthiness of being introverted because that is not an area in which I have expertise. I do feel that sexual gratification and hooking up with someone with who you can "connect" with and form a partnership with are two very different things.

What if I ( a heterosexual man) were to meet a 5'0" woman who weighed 200lbs with a face like Barbara Bush who perfectly complemented me as a partner? What if she had similar aspirations, similar goals and similar ethics? Great thing, right? But I would rather fuck the family dog.

So we have two robots. One looks like Barbara Eden in her prime, the other looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger. We both wake up smiling. Seems like a positive thing to me.
