Sex robot MUM? Laws ‘should change so we can MARRY and RAISE CHILDREN with bots’

MARRIAGE between robots and humans will soon be the norm and we should be allowed to raise children with them, an expert has stated.

Doctor David Levy said that laws will be changed to allow humans to marry robots
Doctor David Levy, author of the New York Times Best Seller ‘Love and Sex with Robots’, has said that laws will soon be adjusted to allow humans to marry robots.

Dr Levy was speaking at a congress named after his book title, when he told the audience that he is an advocate of human-robot marriage when a sufficient level of artificial intelligence is developed.

The author was highlighting the changes in marriage laws over the past few decades in regards to marriage between two men or two women, and believes that people who love machines will soon be afforded the same rights.

He went even further by saying that a parent duo consisting of human and machine would be equally qualified to raise a child as two humans would.

Dr Levy said in a speech titled ‘Why Not Marry a Robot?’: “Surely what is important here, is that it is not the gay or straight nature of the parents, but that both parents are conscientious and nurturing.

“Just as a gay or lesbian couple are capable of being perfectly good parents to a child, there seems to be to me no valid reason that a sophisticated robot in decades to come cannot be a partner and provision of good parenthood.”

The point of the conference where Dr Levy was speaking was to discuss the future of sex robots
He added that once AI is at a level where it interacts at a human level, with emotion and humour and without prompting, then it should be perfectly normal for man and machine to tie the knot.

The point of the conference was to discuss the future of sex robots – and Dr Levy says sex with robots is “just around the corner”.

However, he believes that once robots are given consciousness and are able to make competent and uninfluenced decisions, then they should virtually be treated as humans where the same laws should apply.

Dr Levy said: “We’re being forced to contemplate what human-robot relationships will be like a generation or two from now.”

Dr Levy concluded: ‘When the law allows it, why not marry a robot?’

He continued: “As love and sex with robots becomes more commonplace =85 we should come face to face of the very real possibility with marriage with robots.

“When robots are sufficiently human-like, sufficiently appealing socially, to the point where they can act as our companions, why not extend that companionship to marriage if neither party is against the idea?

“As more and more people come accept the concepts of sex and love with robots, so societies will develop laws that govern-human robot relationships.

Future of romance? A THIRD imagine humans will fall IN LOVE with robots in the future

OVER a third of people imagine that human beings will one day be falling in LOVE with robots, it has been revealed.

A third of people believe they can imagine a point where humans fall in love with machine
A staggering amount of humans believe that civilisation is heading to a point where there is virtually no difference between love between two humans and love between a human and a robot.

The possibility of robots, specifically sex dolls, infiltrating human emotions is certainly on the horizon, with expert Dr David Levy stating that humans will be marrying robots by 2050. 

While the idea sounds like it comes straight from sic-fi fantasy, it is certainly a real prospect with over a third of people believing that they can imagine a point where humans fall in love with machine.

Speaking at the Love and Sex with Robots congress at Goldsmiths University, London, Emma Yann Zhang revealed that people believe that more likely to feel that “emotional involvement is favoured over physical involvement”.

Ms Zhang revealed in a flash, abstract study that 35 per cent of people can imagine other humans falling in love with robots, while just 28 per cent could imagine a point where others are getting intimate with machine, implying that people are more likely to use sex robots to help cure loneliness.

The participants reacted positively to emotional and physical bonding with robots

Ms Zhang, who was presenting the research on behalf of Chamari Edirisinghe, from the National University of Singapore, who was unable to make it to the conference, said: “Throughout the analysis of the study, the participants distanced themselves from being involved intimately with robots.

“The majority of the participants reacted positively to emotional and physical bonding with robots in abstract, distant level.”

There has been a frenzy recently with many believing that sex robots will replace human intimacy completely in the future, but Ms Zhang disagrees with this.

She told a conference: “In the future, we think that once we have this technology everyone will be doing it.

“But I don’t think that is true.

“I think it will be for a certain group of people.”

Sex robot shocker: Almost HALF of all men will use erotic robot playthings, says survey

sex-robot-745261

A shocking new report has found that almost half of men, those who are single as well as in relationships, could buy a sex robot within the next five years.

Jessica Szczuka, from the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany, co-authored research which focused on what is likely to influence men as to whether to buy a sex robots.

Machines that look like women for sexual purposes are on the rise, and in countries such as Japan, it has already led to a decline in traditional sexual encounters between human beings.

However, the trend is on its way to Europe and the US and it is beginning to pick up pace.

While many people would have the mindset that sex robots are for the lonely, new research suggests otherwise.

A staggering 40.3 per cent of the 263 straight males that were surveyed for Ms Szczuka’s research said that they could imagine using a sex robot within the next five years.

Ms Szczuka added that there were no differences between the responses of men who were in a relationship and those who were single.

If people have the guts to say ‘yeah I could imagine that’, thats a good sign

However, she added that that number might actually be higher in reality as participants might have lied.

Speaking at the Love and Sex With Robots congress at Goldsmiths University in London, she

quipped: “If people have the guts to say ‘yeah I could imagine that’, thats a good sign”.

Ms Szczuka also believes that as people become more familiar with robots, that number “will double over time”.

While just under half of men could imagine buying a sex robot within five years, more than two thirds of males could imagine using them.

Ms Szczuka said that the most likely people to use one will be socially anxious people.

She said: “Someone with a fear of rejection could control the robot because the robot would never reject them.”

If you can’t trust health-related wearables, can you trust sex robots?

If you can’t trust health-related wearables, can you trust sex robots to be secure and protect your privacy?

The crutches used along with the robot-legs have controls like a game controller. Engadget explained, “One button would move the left leg forward, and the other would move the right. There are also buttons for sitting down, standing up and walking up and down stairs. It’s like a game controller for getting around.”

This makes me hopeful as I know many different people who need such a device, but it may be 2019 – 2020 before H-Mex is available for purchase.

Can’t trust all health-related wearable devices

While the exoskeleton seems to be more robotic-focused than some other health-related wearable devices, not all wearable devices – such as “watches, fitness bands, and so-called ‘smart’ clothing” should be trusted. In fact, researchers at the Center for Digital Democracy and American University warned (pdf) that although the ownership of health wearable devices has nearly doubled in the past year, many pose privacy risks. Big Data – data collection and marketing – is a big part of the problem with wearables.

In the

The CDD wrote,

As their use becomes more widespread, and as their functionalities become even more sophisticated, the extent and nature of data collection will be unprecedented. Biosensors will routinely be able to capture not only an individual’s heart rate, body temperature, and movement, but also brain activity, moods, and emotions. These data can, in turn, be combined with personal information from other sources—including health-care providers and drug companies—raising such potential harms as discriminatory profiling, manipulative marketing, and security breaches.

Trust a sex robot?

If you can’t trust your fitness band, should a person trust a sex robot? Yes, it sounds like we are moving closer to that actually becoming a thing. Even a keynote speaker at the Second International Congress on Love and Sex with Robots in London is concerned about personal data which will be collected – recorded and stored – and how that data will be used. Going with robots to have sex does not have a strong point in its favor, it is like going out to exercise but without trying phenq, one of the best dietary formulas in recent years. You better think on other option like using some of the best male enhancement pills that are designed to improve sexual performance, increase libido, and treat sexual dysfunctions. There are numerous products available, but the best male enhancement pills often contain potent natural ingredients.

Health aspect in “Sex drive”

Lack of sex drive can affect both individuals and relationships, leading to physical and emotional issues such as reduced self-esteem, stress, or depression. Understanding and maintaining a healthy sex drive can lead to improved overall well-being, relationship satisfaction, and a fulfilling sex life. Male enhancement pills claim to provide several benefits such as boosting sexual stamina and performance, improving erectile function, increasing penis size, enhancing orgasms, and increasing libido.

Dr. Kate Devlin, a senior lecturer in Computing at Goldsmiths, University of London, said, “We tick the box of the terms and conditions without checking them.” Although user feedback and aggregate anonymized data collected can be helpful to improve products, Devlin asked, “Do we want people to know when we have sex and how we have sex?”

Another speaker, Oliver Bendel of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts at Northwestern Switzerland, suggested that sex robots could “over-exert their human lovers.” Even if too much robot sex didn’t kill a person, would anyone really want that data getting out there and shared, possibly used for targeted advertisements or other marketing purposes? Bendel also raised ethical questions such as if a sex robot should have moral skills or have the ability to “entice” human lovers? We suggest you better try to use the male enhancement supplement, they are popular alternatives to prescription drugs for men who experience erectile dysfunction or other sexual issues. These pills are available over-the-counter and online, but it is important to check for any potential side effects or drug interactions before use.

As the Mirror pointed out, there are already companies that make internet-connected sex toys; We-Vibe, for example, has been accused of collecting very personal data without user consent. There needs to be a great deal of effort put into protecting sex robot consumers’ privacy, both in the robot itself and any companion app.

When you consider how hackable most IoT products are, how much security effort will go into sex robots? Surely people wouldn’t want hackers getting hold of their intimate information from such a bot? Think about how damaging it was to some people to be exposed for having Ashley Madison accounts; the company recently agreed to pay a $1.6 million settlement related to the 2015 data breach.

If not enough thought goes into building in security from the start, could a sex robot become infected with malware and added to botnets such as Mirai? Could people really attached to their sex robot be persuaded to pay a ransomware demand to use it again?

Sex drive plays a crucial role in human life as it is a biological and psychological need that motivates individuals to pursue sexual activity. It is what enables us to form intimate relationships, procreate, and experience pleasure and emotional connection with others. There are some supplements that can provide various benefits such as increased blood flow, improved stamina, energy boost, and heightened libido. These male enhancement pillss can help men bring back their sexual vigor and overcome sexual dysfunction issues.

For right now it all seems a bit too science fiction for me to take seriously, but the sex bots are going to become a thing. And even if that thing doesn’t sex you to death, or turn you into a person who prefers bots-over-humans – hey it happened on HBO’s fictional Westworld – will privacy or security be built into these bots from the ground up? Or only bolted on after some disastrous breach?
