A REPORT by scientists on the growing trend for sex robots has issued a warning that could have widespread ramifications for the whole industry.

Interest in the use of sex robots has risen in recent years as technology has advanced and they can they can perform around 50 sex positions as well as talk and interact.

Brothels that offer the services of such sex robots have now opened up in European, spreading from the Far East to cities such as Barcelona and Dublin.

The consultation report called ‘Our Sexual Future with Robots’ by the Foundation for Responsible Robotics has called for a ban on the importation of sex robots that have been designed to look like children.

The report said: “For most of us, who are not sex criminals or trained therapists, there is an immediate visceral response and revulsion to the notion of child sex robots.

“But there are a few who believe that they could help in therapeutic prevention to stop paedophiles offending or reoffending.”

The paper also examines the area of rape in regard to the sex robots, saying there is a “dark side” to these dolls that could be used to simulate disturbing rape fantasies, highlighting a problem between building non-consenting and passively consenting sex robots.

The report states: “On the one hand, if a sex robot is designed to resist sexual advances such that their use constitutes a simulated act of rape, then building them puts the user in relationship with the act of raping a woman.

“It exhorts and endorses rape. On the other hand, building a robot that is passive or elicits sex is ethically problematic for what it communicates to the broader public about women’s sexuality.”

The report also goes on to say that the growth in the use of sex robots could actually increase social isolation. The report reviewed existing research into the question and concluded: “The majority ofauthors reviewed here agreed that social isolation could result from the use of sex robots.”

Although it also said that some people were alleviating their loneliness by taking their sex robot out socially, even taking them out to the pub to meet their friends.
