Will sex robots eliminate rape?

Not if they're programmed to rape...

No I don't think sociopaths will be able to get their control / humiliation fix on a robot, or that they average person could afford one.

No, but it may see fewer men turning to prostitutes...

Not anytime soon. Also eliminate seems too strong, unless you think the sex robots are going to almost indishtinguishable from human women/men. In which case this programming them for sex (or any job including manual labor btw) is actually morally dicey.

But gain, no one is close to making a "realistic" sex robot. The stuff that is likely to come out in the next decade or two should reduce rape but will not eliminate it. Just as porn reduces rape better "sex substitutes" should as well.

No. Rapists will rape. Sex robots might very well drastically reduce marriage rates, however.

It will prevent SOME sexual acts, for sure.

Rape and consensual sex together are happening because human have a desire. If that desire is fulfilled through simulated sex, it will drop their interest in intercourse with real people.

But normal sex and rape will not vanish, only decrease by a vague amount. I am for alternatives for all people to relieve stress and press out frustration on objects that simulate the real situation, so that the harm will not impact on real people.

Human punching bags would be good too.

But the same derps who accused video games of generating violence, will argue that alternatives will train people to be more sexual or violent in real life too. I don't believe that though.

Feminist will be against these robots, or against virtual fulfillment of mainly desires that men have. If it would give women pleasure, they would be all in for it. There are enough women that have sex in second life already, and enough that use dildos.

We should have such options and many more for men too, but that is a forbidden topic in feminist land. Dildos are culturally accepted way more than fleshlights already in my opinion. Women are independend are strong, men cant get pussy are weak.

I'd say no because while yes there is a sexual aspect to rape (obviously), from what I've read it's a power thing more than a just lack of sexual control. Unless a robot can be programmed to not give consent, it's not going to appeal to a rapist. But that's just my very unprofessional opinion.

I have seen correlations between the legalization of prostitution and lower rape rates along with availability of porn and lower rape rates, but they are only correlations.

So it could be plausible to hypothesize that sex robots will lower rape rates, but eliminating rape completely is fantasy.

One major problem with availability of sex robots is price - that would preclude low to moderate income men from obtaining one. Something like a Realdoll costs 8k, I can't imagine what a sex robot would cost. Prostitution has a similar problem, low income men can't afford prostitution unless it's with a crackhead.

Of course they would. Just like pornography and prostitution. Not sarcastic.

jimmybrite · 2014-08-14T10:31:45+00:00

Nah, feminists or tumbltards will probably define it as non-consensual and thus is rape.

I mean they already despise fleshlights but they go nuts if anyone talks shit about their 12 inch dildos.
