The folks over at CNBC have dug up some experts to explore the question should you have sex with robots:
Should we be having sex with robots?
It's a question that has sparked fierce debate among moralists and the robotics industry. And it turns out, they're all split on what role machines should play in future relationships.
During a discussion at the Web Summit technology conference in Dublin on Wednesday, experts warned about the dangers of getting intimate with robots.
"It's something we should be very concerned about...because if people feel they can have an intimate relationship with a machine, that is saying something serious about how we're experiencing empathy with each other," Kathleen Richardson, senior research fellow in the ethics of robotics at the U.K.'s De Montfort University, said during the panel.
The academic, who launched the "campaign against sex robots" earlier this year, added that "we are losing our sense of humanity."

Oh, the problem is that someone can't hold power over you for having pleasurable sex with someone, in or out of marriage. That someone typically being robed men of some kind, preferably also of their belief system. It is easier to oppress if the message is the same to all of those being oppressed. Otherwise, you are an abomination of some kind; there's a scoring system with names and general platitudes of what it takes to be a good person. We can find a way to make sure you have something wrong with you.
Also, if you are very much unlike the others already cowed into service, then you are unclean and need righteous salvation through oppression. Your eternal reward comes later, but for now, 10% tithe monthly.
