I have heard a rumour that unemployed people living on benefits spend
quite a lot of time doing sex and drugs with each other.  This
occupation may continue on a larger scale when everyone is unemployed.

So sexbots may be a minority interest. As to 'new tricks', I have been
informed that for every weird unlikely thing you can think of, there
are photos and videos on the internet of humans demonstrating every
variation.

(Does having sex with a sexbot count as being 'unfaithful' to a human partner?).
