[ExI] young people having less sex

[SR Ballard]

Would “optimal” sex machines count as “getting some”? Probably not any more than a prostitute does. However I think seeing a prostitute would still count as losing your virginity, where with a sex machine, I probably wouldn’t count it.

But yes, I think it would satisfy the physical drive. But I think that it might leave the emotional drive unsatisfied, much the same with Johns. Depending on the person, perhaps it might become dysfunctional. For example we might see people attacking sex robots much the same way people attack prostitutes. Which in and of itself is no issue, bust the escalation might be.

But that’s just speculation.
