"The conference on how to have sex with robots was seen as so sexually sickening it was banned in Malaysia.
But it is now being held at London's Goldsmith University.
Leading edge sex robots are now alarming reallistic - prompting many to suggest they may replace women in the near future."

Rumor has it that their first phrase is "Warspite1, I think we should see other people. It's not you, it's me."

Wait - are you sure Warspite's not a robot?

Buried in the article is the proposal by the World Health Organization to classify "failure to find a sexual partner" as a disability. That would make a very large number of people disabled. . .[X(]

World Health Org. got involved in that! And gave a very stupid statement for their conclusion. They have terrible judgement from what I've seen.

And, eventually have health insurance pay for the robots?
We'll also have more people listed with a "disability".
And, the inevitable conversation: "Honey now that I am on SS disability I'll be spending more time in the basement, building and playing with, my models. The doctor did say that I needed a hobby." [:'(]

I don't remember this being addressed in any sci-fi show. Maybe it's too far out there for writers to deal with. (Actually, the only way writers deal with it is having the robot AI go out of control and kill or injure humans.)
Robot sex partners certainly would limit interpersonal relationships between humans leading to less normalization of individuals. It might mean more radicalized behavior. I'm not passing judgement but unlike many sci-fi things this will happen.
Actually, many jobs will be handled by robots.

The WHO might only approve if they were carbon neutral, so solar panels would have to be installed on their backsides.

The science is actually very clear - a lack of physical contact and affection has significant negative health effects. IIRC a number of Scandinavian countries provide intimate services for the seriously disabled, and have done for decades.

Spielbergs film 'AI' has both male and female sex robots/ androids, Gigolo Joe being the main one. Priss in Bladerunner was a Basic Pleasure Model and although it's a book Isaac Asimov's robot series mentions them.
ANyhoo sounds like a quick route to an unplanned sex change if yoo get the tension setting wrong...[:'(]
I'll get my coat. [:D]

From what I can gather from my (admittedly) limited experiences and what I follow through social sites, 'normalization of individuals' vis a vis sexual relationships is a big question mark in today's world. It's weird out there folks. Probably always has been. The new normal may very well be the old normal with today's rose-colored glasses and retrospectoscope.

In addition to those mentioned in post #15, the recent tv series Humans touches on the subject. I've been waiting for season 2 but it keeps getting delayed. [:(]
Surrogates [2009] takes it a step further and replaces all of us with robots.
Robots are an obviously inevitable progression, and I'd like to be here 200 years from now to see what society is like. From the male viewpoint, imagine if you don't have to find a wife and struggle to hold a family together.

I want a movie where robots complain about humans.
