There's nothing weird about owning a sex doll. Most of us would, if cheaper. a sex doll costs about as much as a car. I'm talking high-end models, not the inflatable ones. those run around a hundred bucks. trust me, not worth it.
more people would buy sex dolls if they were easier to hide. look at porn. Everyone watches porn. even people who say they don't. my college roommate swore up and down he d never seen porn in her life. she went to church. she had a boyfriend. she had Jesus. she didn't need porn. so she said.
One weekend, my roommate went home. my friends and I partied in the dorm. we all knew Julia and her self-righteousness. for some reason, we started talking about porn. my roommate's absolute denial came up. After some drunken debate, we wound up snooping through her computer. what did we find? Porn. So much porn. Suprised?
My point-- everyone watches porn, but many of us deny that. the same idea applies to sex dolls. most of us would own one if we could get away with it, keep it locked away where nobody else could find it and judge us. So all this philosophical conversation about sex dolls and sexbots doesn't matter that much. Porn hasn't ruined our culture any more than weed, alcohol, guns, or capitalism.
Talking sex dolls with A.I won't ruin our culture either. They don't worry me at all. Most people won't buy them. Why? Because you cant hide a sex doll in a folder on your computer. You cant erase your sex doll like you can your browser history. We've all come to accept porn as a given culture. we're fine saying that everyone watches porn. We'll even make jokes. "Sure, I watch porn. Haha,
but you don't invite your colleagues over to watch porn. DO YOU?.
You don't make porn a part of your water cooler talk. Why? Because of the social stigma. Porn's okay because it lives under the rug. Sex dolls cant. And probably never will. There's no place in your house where you can safely store one. They take up a lot of space. Some men who buy sex dolls are the misogynist. They only see women as sex objects, and that jives with their behaviors. But many men fully respect their female coworkers and value women's contribution to society. They see women as equal. They just know that they'll never have sex with Megan Fox. There's nothing wrong with wanting sex with Megan Fox only with comparing every other woman on the planet to her.
Some men and women will always opt for the path of least resistance. That might mean saving up $10k for the latex equivalent of their dream girl/boy. Who are we to judge?
Imagine a future where all the assholes of the world exempt themselves from the dating pool, choosing a life of solitude with a sexbot.
Would that be such a bad thing?
Every issue like this has ten sides. Sexbots. Strippers. Porn. BDSM. They can liberate us sexually, or reinforce unhealthy attitudes. Adding sexbots to the cultural mix won't change much. Gender expectations go back thousands of years. We should treat the disease, not symptom. You can be shamed for almost anything these days. That's sad. I wish we could let our sex lives out into the open. Not to rub in everyone's faces, but to live our lives. All this hiding and sneaking around makes us far less healthy than any fetish or sex act.
So maybe as technology advances, so will our attitudes toward sex.
Fingers crossed.
