How is life long monogamous marriage an odd cultural thing? There is such a thing as loving someone and actually wanting to be committed to them for life.
Because when you live for someone for half a century or more, the person you married is not going to be the same person you're living with 30+ years down the road.

Sure, but neither will you. The hope is that you will change and grow together as you work toward shared life goals. Of course, having similar values helps. I've only been married five years though, so I'm hardly an expert. 😋

They are "the same person." Certain things about people change a bit over time, and we get older, but we are still the same people. You're acting like love and loyalty don't exist.

Well said.
I've been with my man for 11 years, married for 7 of them. I will bever leave him and he will never leave me. My parents are still married and both sets of my grandparents were married until death.

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.
Depends.
Does the sales contract specify that the robot can't file sexual harassment charges? If so, FOX will buy a shitload of them. Can't be any more robotic than the gang they have there now.

I'm sure there will be male sex robots for women, but let's face it... this will be predominantly a male thing.
Um, are you sure? lol
Speaking as a single woman (and I'm not the only single woman out there who doesn't want to be celibate forever), a male sex robot would solve some of my most pressing concerns in a New York minute. Why the assumption that only men want this type of thing?
ETA: And this is more a general question as I see this is the dominant assumption throughout the thread.

are we stereotyping males as more horny or more deve, or both ??

Not really sure there's much difference between that, and a Vibrator. Or a Sybian. The Sybian is great, though pretty pricey still. They already make Sex Dolls too. I think overall it'll have a neutral effect.

I personally think there should be stronger ethics on how sexy non-AI machinery looks; they keep turning me on more than I turn them on.

I find it annoying that the robots will be for sex when they haven't even come up with a decent massaging machine yet.
