The pros and cons in this emerging sexual age.

<https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/sexual-self/202011/the-age-sex-robots>

Quote:
The question here is not whether or not sex robots are coming (they
are) or how they are going to be continually evolving. The question
here concerns the psychological and social ramifications that may
accompany this brave new sexual world. As with any technology, there
is a laundry list of pros and cons to consider.
--------------

The author considers the problems of using sex robots as misplaced
human relationships.
What if, as sex robots continue evolving, humans find that en masse
they *prefer* sex with advanced robots? The birth rate in western
society is already plummeting, so will reproduction just stop?
Robots are rather expensive, but wealthier humans could have a harem
of sex robots to play with.
What's not to like?   ;)
