Wanting to find something different when it comes to sex is nothing new, but apparently the craze for sex robots could be risky.
We’ve already reported on claims that teenagers could soon be losing their virginity to the mechanical love machines, with scientists also said to be working on robot sex brothels to cut the risk of STIs.
But now comes the warning: According to an expert in the field, we’ll need to be careful we don’t get addicted to artificial-intelligence lovemaking.
Joel Snell is an American research fellow from Kirkwood College, and he’s told the Daily Star there’s a real risk linked to the robots.
That’s because they’ll offer great sex at any time of the day and night.
There’ll be no need for a bond with the robot, plus it’ll never be able to turn you down.
“People may become obsessed by their ever-faithful, ever-pleasing sex robot lovers,” he warned.
“People will rearrange their lives to accommodate their addictions.”
The other issue is people will be able to tell robots exactly what they like between the sheets.
That means there’s no risk of an unsatisfactory romp ever again.
Of course, you could try actually talking to your real-life human partner, too. If you’re open about your likes and dislikes, the result could be pretty much the same.
Although sex robots have been in the headlines a lot lately, versions of them have been around for years.
Many people already use sex toys regularly, and there is a growing group of people who can’t get enough of sex dolls.
Take this guy Murray, who’s been romancing different dolls since his last marriage broke up in 2008.
