The why would anyone buy one at all

Vibrators & Dildos

IDK. You know you've got self esteem issues when... Even your inanimate piece of plastic doesn't like you.

I don't have an opinion either way here, so I'll play devils advocate for the sake of debate - there is the argument that some people (of either gender) do not want- can't cope with- or are unable to have- relationships, so this is just an extension of masturbatory prosthetics and natural sexual fantasies.

Though, focusing on the first thing everyone curiously seems to think of when this subject comes up - 'disgusting perverts', what if this actually provides a way for people with certain 'tastes', acceptable to our own personal sensibilities or not (and just where do you draw the line there), to relieve their need/urge/desire in a way that doesn't harm anyone else.

Until we can look back and say, "that was a bad idea" (the Sinclair c5, the remake of Ghostbusters, and adult onesies spring to mind) how can we form an opinion with no factual basis?

Please don't hit me..!

I don't have a huge problem with the "robot of ill repute" as a concept. If someone wants to get it on with a mechanical mannequin for these reasons. Fine. If it makes them happy, I don't care. None of my business.

I do have a problem with an animatronic assault doll.

I can think of a reason why this specific subset of sexual deviancy is a bad thing.

what if this actually provides a way for people with certain 'tastes', acceptable to our own personal sensibilities or not (and just where do you draw the line there), to relieve their need/urge/desire in a way that doesn't harm anyone else.

The issue is that for a percentage of the target demographic, sexual assault is an escalating pattern, somthing like this: Starting with fantasies, moving onto photo/video media, then onto actually carrying out the crime on real people.
For those people, having a outlet for this deire, could encourage the transition from harmless to rapist. These real sicko's will tire of the inanimate object eventually and escalate to real people with or without the access to a robot.
If these people could be screened out from the customer base, I'd feel alot better about it.

A perfectly valid response I have no doubt has its basis in very real and traumatic terms.

However, 'sicko's' are out there, they continue to do what they do, and the best clinical minds have found no way to solve/cure this illness. What if this is worse - encouragement.. but what if it is better - an alternative?

Interesting remark, "sexual assault is an escalating pattern". We live in an age where two conflicting views clash - the historical view that women and children are chattel Vs the humanitarian view that we are all equal.

While I'm sure that you, I, and everyone contributing to this thread would defend the latter with our lives, I am equally sure that some will not.. and some cannot. We are essentially debating points of view as well as an illness commonly regarded as criminal deviancy.

Many might say they have a problem with the notion.. but what if it actually helps?

Computer games didn’t work. Why would a sexbot?

 

[Neverthesame]

@Multitudes I get what you're saying. To an extent I even agree with it.

What I am saying is, if the people whom the sexbot would be effective are the ones capable of keeping from raping someone, by having the awareness that they are ill and must never act on their urges. Wouldn't be stopping anything, as they wouldn't do it in the first place.
The sexbot would be more of a reward for good behavior.

The other kind of people, won't stop at inanimate, so what's the point?

 

[Multitudes]

@Neverthesame, I cannot argue with you, purely as there is no true basis upon which to derive an informed opinion.

there is, however, an interesting dynamic at work here - we swiftly come back to unacceptable use of this technology by sexual deviants.. not just on this thread, but out in the real world, too - I've seen a couple of articles on this recently, accompanied by comments along the vein of gross disaproval.

I have to wonder why.. are we afraid to discuss the taboo subject of sex.. how about dildoes and fleshlights (sniggers behind hand).. the acting like a baby thing..

There are, perhaps, too many ways sexbots can be useful and effective for those who otherwise have no effective release, before even considering abuse fantasies, criminal illness..

 

[Neverthesame]

I don't think it's due to a taboo.

Small handheld masturbatory aids are not unusual purchases, not even naughty these days.

There are, perhaps, too many ways sexbots can be useful and effective for those who otherwise have no effective release, before even considering abuse fantasies, criminal illness..

This doesn't make sense to me.
How could someone need release from a desire to commit sexual assault on another person, when they aren't even fantasising about it?
Besides, it is a fantasy. The sexbot is a prop to act out a sexual fantasy that is dangerous and harmful to other people.

Unless you are referring to one of those people who develop romantic feelings towards inanimate objects. Like that man who is dating a volkswagen, or the woman who is in love with a chunk of the Berlin Wall. I can't see how else the sexbot would be used to provide said release unless the user was pretending it was a real person.

I also wasn't making that up about the volkswagen guy and Berlin Wall lady. Those are real people, that really think and feel that way.

the acting like a baby thing.

This is a totally different kettle of fish, because of one word. Acting

If someone wants to wear a diaper and soil themselves, while the other plays the parental role. That is fine. It's two consenting adults having mutual sex in the way they enjoy, there's nothing wrong with that.

If two consenting adults want to role play a rape, which isn't uncommon. That's fine. No one is actually being harmed.

Going out into the streets at night and forcing themselves on a stranger is not fine.
Comparing this with nepotism or BDSM is comparing apples and oranges.

Sexual deviancy in itself not a negative term. It simply means to deviate from the established norm, of lights off, man on top, missionary position sexual intercourse, in bed, at home.
Everything different than this is sexual deviancy.

As I said in a previous post. If a person who does not have any plan or need to actually hurt anyone, but wish to act out a fantasy, with a standard sex toy or a sexbot. Is fine. They aren't hurting anyone, nor will they most likely.

there is no true basis upon which to derive an informed opinion.

Try a Google search for "The psychology behind serial rapists." There is loads of information about the compulsive nature and behavioural escalation, in the people who won't stop with the sexbot. It's not secret knowledge, or even recent.
