Leading medics sound the alarm on the rising use of sex robots saying they could worsen existing issues around intimacy SEX ROBOTS may do more harm than good, leading medics claim. They warn rising use of “sexbots” could spread sexually-transmitted infections, worsen impotence and normalise “sexual deviancy”. (Sexbots are touted as an aid for 'desperate fellas' but may make existing sexual health issues worse for all of us) Fans of the life-like love machines – that sell for up to £11,600 – say they can aid “harm reduction” by offering desperate fellas an outlet. They claim doll use helps reduce sex crimes against women and children. But Dr Chantal Cox-George, from St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and Professor Susan Bewley, from King’s College London, say there is little evidence this is true. And raised fears they may make illegal behaviour more socially acceptable. Writing in the BMJ Sexual & Reproductive Health, they said: “It is speculative whether the development of a sexbot marketplace will lead to lesser risk of violence and infections, or drive further exploitation of human sex workers. “The ‘health’ arguments made for their benefits, as with so many advertised products, are rather specious.” Researchers warn medics must steer clear of intimate relations with sexbots – or risk losing public trust. They added: “Doctors might be advised to avoid using sexbots themselves, given police interest, prosecutions, and the potential negative impact on public trust.” Experts claim it is too soon to market the love dolls to treat relationship difficulties, such as impotence or enforced celibacy. And they warn the lack of intimacy may make problems such as erectile dysfunction worse. Researchers also fear using the sexbots to “treat” paedophilia or live out violent fantasies may help normalise such behaviour. The sex tech industry is already worth more than £22billion. Four U.S. companies are already selling the randy androids, with names including Roxxxy Gold and Harry Harddrive. Prices range from just under £4,000 to £11,600 for the “Harmony” supermodel. Although currently targeted to men, one sexbot maker plans to sell male versions for women later this year. Sheffield University Professor Noel Sharkey, chair of the Foundation for Responsible Robotics, previously warned “the sex robots are coming”. Prof Sharkey, the former head judge on Robot Wars, said: “The manufacturers are doing a massive marketing job on the health benefits of sex robots, particularly for therapy, and yet there is absolutely no evidence for this.
Poster Comment: Next OUR goobermint will buy thousands to place in prisons to keep prisoners who are sick of TV busy screwing their dolls. In the UK perhaps their goobermint would issue one robot to each Muslim entering the UK. Could cut down on wear and tear of the female population. Gross immorality like this should be banned by law. At the very least, sales of such robots should be banned.

Man, you'd have to be pathologically desperate.

Or you'd have to be Rapey Billy Clinton.
