A robotic sex doll can take care of sexual needs, where as a robotic girlfriend, using AI, can greet you when come home and ask how was your day. Not the real females that bombard you with demands like “ You need to do this. “.(16 Feb 2020, 21:11 )Tinker D Wrote: [ -> ]Because of what happen to me, and all the weird ass laws, I would love to have robotic girlfriend...This isn't directed at you Tinker D, but you raise a good point. If there is psychological damage it is certainly something that happened before and the sex dolls are filling a need created by that damage. But still, there is a human physical need for human intimacy. I don't see robots negating that. I can see sexbots working as a kind of antidepressant (it doesn't make you not depressed, it just makes you stop caring that you are depressed) without people coming to terms with the issues that need to be addressed. And in some cases there may be no addressing the issue... in which case "Give strong drink to him who is perishing, And wine to him whose life is bitter" as the KJV advises... let them have their sex dolls.
Ra, your point is, I fear, spot on. Giving people a safe outlet will likely prevent the more dangerous kinks from spilling out and hurting those that would not or cannot consent.
This is piece is typical moralistic fear mongering propped up by bogus pseudoscience academics. That being said... I do fear for a society that has more intimacy for robots and hand held devices than real people. It is one that is deeply dysfunctional... Japan has gone to embracing hand-held masturbators sold at convenience stores to people taking their sex dolls for a walk as the society ages, dies and collapses. There is something very wrong there, that the young me would rather play video games and wank than find a girl friend to practice kinbaku-bi on... (now I am getting carried away)... but that society wasn't one made by the devices and robots. We made this society by other means and because we don't want to deal with the real issues we now preoccupy ourselves by railing at the distal effects, pretending they are the ultimate causes.
I think it is the strangest thing that society so reviles the BDSM relationship even as it epitomizes the ultimate in trust and self-sacrifice between two (or more) people. IMO it is the normal people that have a screw loose. Verily, we live in a crazy world.
that was what I was thinking about.
eady old and gray. Remember, I’m pushing 66.
