This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

They already do, theres fucking machines and vibrators and teledildonics.

Yeah, the whole "sex robot" thing is kneecapped by the simple fact that very few people want a person sized sex toy to have to shove in a closet when most people can take care of most of their needs with stuff that takes up the space of a shoebox.

Plenty of edge cases of course, but those don't make the ubiquitous sex robot future that most of these sorts of headlines envision. Plus, VR headsets and multi axis mounted fleshlights still mean you don't need a full humanoid robot.
