YouGov, an online platform, conducted a survey about sex robots. It found out that this year, more than 22 percent of respondents admitted that they would consider buying a sex robot. That result has a six percent increase compared to the same survey conducted in 2007.
This six percent increase represents a fairly equal share of men and women. An entire six percent of males revealed that they were all willing to have sex with a robot. On the other hand, four percent of females said the same.
The reason for these numbers is because more younger individuals are willing to explore and experiment with sex. People who are between 28 to 34 years old are more likely to try having sex with a robot.
What Are Sex Robots?
Sex robots are essentially realistic dolls with sophisticated movements that closely resemble humans. These sex robots are intended for private fun. They are hyper-realistic creations that have various features such as built-in heating systems. This way, they are able to mimic the human body temperature.
In addition, sex robots have sensors that react to their owners’ touch. They can moan, talk, smile, and even move.
Moreover, one company is developing a sex robot that could not only speak and smile but can also sing. On the other hand, the sex robot named Harmony is the first sex doll to offer an emotional connection.
According to experts, these sex robots will begin to appear in ordinary homes in the next decade, as lonely human beings look for love and company.
How People View Having Sex with A Robot
In addition, the said survey found out a number of interesting attitudes. For instance, a large number of respondents said that they do not see sex robots as something that equates to human beings. In addition, these individuals do not believe that having sex with a robot can be considered cheating. They also do not believe in the idea that renting a robot for sex is considered prostitution.
On top of that, it seems that people are viewing sex with a robot as a safer alternative to paying for a prostitute. However, more men than women are supporting this idea. Lastly, more people consider having sex with a doll or robot as equivalent to masturbation than sex.
