TOP scientists believe a robot sex brothel could dramatically reduce the
spread of diseases and combat people trafficking.
Experts have drawn up a paper looking at what Amsterdam could look like by
2050 and predict there could be huge benefits.
They warn that sexually transmitted infections (STIs) could mutate and become
resistant to vaccines – boosting the need for robotic sex workers.
Ian Yeoman, a scientist specialising in futurology, and Michelle Mars, a
sexologist at the University of Wellington co-wrote the thesis entitled
‘Robots, Men, and Sex Tourism’.
They claim: “[Robots] will help ‘the sex industry alleviate all health
and human trafficking problems’, human sex workers will be put out of
business, unable to compete on price and quality of service.”

Yeoman and Mars’ paper adds: “All androids are made of bacteria resistant
fiber and are flushed for human fluids, therefore guaranteeing no Sexual
Transmitted Diseases are transferred between consumers.”
They predict the robots could offer a range of services from lap dancing,
massages, and full sexual intimacy.
Dr Ian Pearson previously wrote in a report produced for online sex shop
Bondara: “Brothels and strip clubs will soon include robots and they will be
a specific fetish for some people, as well as a potentially cheaper
replacement for real-life interaction.”
Not everybody thinks sex robots are good for society, with Dr. Kathleen
Richardson, a senior research fellow at De Montfort University in Leicester
arguing they should be outlawed.
She warned: “Sex robots seem to be a growing focus in the robotics
industry and the models that they draw on – how they will look, what roles
they would play – are very disturbing indeed.
“We think that the creation of such robots will contribute to detrimental
relationships between men and women, adults and children, men and men and
women and women.”
Ongoing research across the world into the science and technology needed have
made sex robotics a multi-million industry.
Neal Slateford, co-owner of Britain’s biggest online sex toy retailer,
Lovehoney, claimed robot sex will be commonplace before we know it.
He said: “The early robotic toys are out of the price range of most people,
costing around £6,000, but the technology is developing all the time.
“Prices will inevitably come down and we envisage selling mass-market robotic
toys in around three years.
“They could be brilliant products and let’s face it, it is the safest way to
have a threesome with your partner and not end up in the divorce court.”
