Sex with robots? This is not science fiction, but an objective reality that will come from day to day.
Teens will begin to lose their virginity to robots, said Noel Sharkey, professor emeritus of robotics at the University of Sheffield. He also warned that this would have devastating consequences for society.
Professor Sharkey performed on June 9 at the Cheltenham Science Festival. He is not opposed to sex with androids, robots, or humanoid sex dolls, but what scares him is that sex with a robot may be the first sexual experience in a teen's life and disrupt the course of growing up, going through the mandatory stages for the formation of a full-fledged personality.
The professor believes that just as at one time the state missed the explosive growth in the popularity of Internet porn (thanks to which this area was not regulated by anyone for a long time and destructive materials could be placed there), and now it will miss the moment when sex robots will enter every house. The professor believes that this will happen in 10 years.
Already, the US and Japanese market is filled with dolls like Roxxxy or RealDoll - with built-in sensors and speech interaction, they cost about 700 thousand rubles, but soon the technologies will become both more affordable and more realistic.

Noel Sharkey suggests not selling sex robots to customers under 16. However, this will not help in any way if the sex robot is already at home, in the use of the parents, and the teenager will use it as soon as the parents leave home.
In this regard, another robot expert, Kathleen Richardson from De Montfort University, proposes to completely ban the import of sex robots into the UK.
"We believe that the creation of such robots contributes to the destruction of relationships between men and women, adults and children."
As for Russia, at the moment there is no need to fear for young people: the too high price of robots makes them available only to the wealthiest citizens, while none of the sex robots are officially supplied to us.
