The Rise Of The Sexbot
Maxim India
|November 2017
The debate on whether sex robots can actually offer real benefits to society—and to women—rages on.
SEX ROBOTS GET A BAD RAP. THEY’VE been labelled unethical and blamed for perpetuating a culture that objectifies women. Many ethicists are concerned that their life-like appearance and fully functioning genitals pose a threat to romantic love and human relationships. But, judging by global sales and by the innovation that’s going into making them more “lifelike,” sex robots are here to stay. They’re no longer a fantasy from science fiction. They’re the real deal. Welcome to Westworld. So, what are the benefits of sex robots? Can they advance humanity positively? And, importantly, are they even worth discussing anymore?
