Robot Lovers : Who Needs a Human Lover?

Erotic Technology

Improvements in things like the tactile quality of artificial skin and the development of AI technologies hark toward the day when people can have a robot lover:

None of this is intended to suggest that sex between two people will become outmoded, because I do not believe for one moment that it will. What I am convinced of is that robot sex will become the only sexual outlet for a few sectors of the population: the misfits, the very shy, the sexually inadequate and uneducable, …; and that for different sectors of the population robot sex will vary between something to be indulged in occasionally, and only when one’s partner is away from home on a long trip, to an activity that supplements one’s regular sex life, perhaps when one’s partner is not feeling well, or not feeling like sex for some other reason.

Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
