Considering 40% of men would be willing to have sex with a robot today, it’s not a short jump to see that we’re heading in that direction. Make it cheap enough, and you already have 40% of the male marketplace. Then it would be relatively easy to convince others to hop on board.
MGTOW is growing, and with its growth comes an even greater demand for sex robots. MGTOW/Incels/Herbivores/etc all share a common underlying theme of ‘no women‘, but they still are men. They still have sexual desires. And I guarantee many of them (and even those far outside the labels) will probably still be willing to jump on board with the sex robot revolution.
And in many ways, the sex robot is an ideal: it can’t cheat, it’s always down for sex, you’re the first, and you won’t get 50 STDs.
But it’s also completely degenerate and disgusting. The thought of it is not appealing.
I must be in the 60% bucket.
Herbivore men in Japan actually date the sex dolls. And they’re not even robots yet that can interact with you. When that interaction arrives… then what?
Now this raises some interesting questions. Primarily one: what the hell is going to happen when these become popular?
Throughout all of human history, we have had a common theme:
Sex drives entire cultural shifts
Wars have been fought over a single woman. Men have toiled their life away for attention from women. Genghis Khan rampaged an entire continent to impregnate hundreds of women.
And then, in the blink of an eye, that entire driving force is satiated.
Honestly, I doubt that much will change significantly between men and women when these come to fruition. At least in terms of respectful communication or cooperation. But I do think the dating and sex landscape will change dramatically.
Men do ridiculous things to get laid or get female attention.
Men also put up with a tremendous amount of hardship and annoyance to get the aforementioned two things.
If that need gets met through robotic interference, women won’t have that leverage anymore. Which will change the dating/sex arena permanently. Sex itself will no longer be a luxury good for men.
I liken it to when you’re dating someone. If I’m dating someone, I’d never put up with shit from a different girl. Because the need(s) is/are already being met. But if I were single, many times I’d play the stupid game to get by. This wouldn’t happen if I was dating and satisfied with my SO.
In effect, the sex robots could place every male that buys one in the “I’m dating and satisfied” category by default. Making it so that men have less of a drive to seek outside companionship, or put resources toward finding it. Impacting women’s ability to harness their attention.
We already have enough of an issue with men falling out of society. This certainly won’t help.
However, I don’t see the same happening with women. Women are attracted and satisfied based on things completely opposite of men; things that sex robots are unable to quench. While the average male could be perfectly happy living in his sex robot bubble, I don’t see the same happening for women.
Hence, the conflict with gender interaction from sex robots.
Many women have already united and attempted to ban sex robots before they’ve even been developed yet (1) (2). And I get it. Their sexual monopoly and leverage are at stake. But I think nothing will stop this multi-billion dollar industry anytime soon. It’d just create a black market, as do all bans.
Women will lose their leverage, but I don’t see it destroying interpersonal relationships by any stretch. Maybe just making it significantly harder for women to garner that control they previously (and currently) have.
I will be completely honest: The thought of humping a silicon doll dressed like a woman repulses me. Especially if it is lifelike. I don’t think I could ever do it, and if I did, I feel like I would hate myself for at least a few weeks after. So I’m firmly in the “no chance in hell” camp when it comes to these things. But I know a lot of men are far more horn dogs than I am.
What are your thoughts on it?

This is actually an almost optimistic prediction, considering the magnitude of the disruption sex robots could potentially cause. I am not quite as sanguine. I see birthrates continuing to plummet and more men embracing the MGTOW idea and more women become man-hating feminist cat-ladies . . . more than would normally be the case otherwise.
If women didn’t have sex as an exclusive good, men would cease protecting them, caring about them, and putting up with them. I sadly think sex robots will put the final nail in the idea of chivalry.
Meanwhile, small cadres of normal people with traditional beliefs will self-separate. And the elites, of course will not let sex robots anywhere near their male children.
I can definitely see sex robots decimating chivalry, no disagreements there. The interaction between us all will change without question, my only consideration is how. I am sure many more men will go MGTOW and birthrates will continue to fall, but I can’t help but consider that it won’t be a total catastrophe.
Would this create more man-hating feminist lunatics? Possibly. But that’s probably going to happen either way, sadly. It’s too far shoved down our throats at this point. Hopefully enough traditional people are able to secede from the lunacy in time to make a dent.
Interesting point. I’d imagine SOME people–normal people, or traditionalists; however you want to call them–would refuse to play along. And not just Mormons. I think plenty of people who grew up seeing, and are actually in, stable relationships with normal people will raise their kids as such. Perhaps these people will rise to high positions, but what kind of world would they rule!
Some technologies should not come into being. I am unafraid to say that, no matter how “anti-capitalist” some might think, sex robots are right up there with cloning on my list of bad ideas we shouldn’t even try once.
I wouldn’t worry too much about being “anti-capitalist”. I think even the most ardent supporters of capitalism understand that sometimes building cultural nuclear bombs and passing them out at walmart may not be the best societal strategy. It will be interesting to see what happens. We’re expecting the first ones to be coming out in 2-4 years, realistically. They won’t be fully replaceable to women, obviously – but they’ll serve their function as a robot companion already.
And sadly, whether any of us want it or not. I definitely agree that the risk they bring is profound. Maybe I don’t see it through gender relations, but just through general socio-economic/cultural changes the impact could be much larger than I originally anticipated.
“cultural nuclear bomb”
I’m stealing that!
Its rather strange with these woman who tries to stop the sex bot revolution when all these sad sex trafficed woman around the world most probably would need this help instead.But in the same time i am starting to wonder if it is the more welthy western woman in their sometimes fancy home who maybe is starting to understand that the sex power they earlier owned is slipping away right in front of their eyes.And the male race most probably know how a human woman would react to that. 🙂
