‘Sexbots are coming’: Scientists say ‘digisexuals’ inevitable as more people bond with robots
Academics are arguing that many people will soon be identifying as “digisexuals” and taking their sexual identity from having sex with robots.
While sex robots are currently quite primitive, a new report published in the Journal of Sexual and Relationship Therapy argues that before long they will be able to look, speak and act like real people - and will be specifically designed to fulfill a person’s desires.
The report’s authors, Neil McArthur and Markie L. C. Twist, from the University of Manitoba, Canada, argue that we need to be ready to deal with the phenomenon when it comes to fruition.
“There is no question, then, that sexbots are coming,” McArthur and Twist say. “Our view is that they will represent a different sort of sexual experience from what existing technologies offer. First of all, people will form an intense connection with their robot companions.”
“These robots will be tailor-made to meet people's desires, and will do things that human partners cannot or will not do. For this reason, significant numbers of people will likely come to use robots as their primary mode of sexual experience.”
The pair, who also co-authored the book “Robot Sex: A Book for the Enlightened Sapiosexual,” argue that the rise of digisexuality will bring benefits, including potentially saving human relationships.
They also say that digisexuality will have a positive impact, particularly for people who experienced sexual trauma in the past or for those who have difficulty forming human relationships.
However they warn that it will also bring a slew of difficulties and argue that doctors must be prepared to deal with digisexuality and have a framework for how to approach it.
Noel Sharkey of the Foundation for Responsible Robotics (FRR) recently argued against sex robots being used by the elderly in care homes.
“They are being proposed for the elderly in care homes, which I think is controversial. If you have severe Alzheimer’s you can’t really tell the difference. We need to think about as a society what we want to...
Report Hillary Clinton Needs to Be Worried About Informant’s Testimony Tuesday
If it were not for Sen. Chuck Grassley and Campbell’s attorney Victoria Toensing, this information would have remained secret. The gag order would have put Mr. Campbell is jail had he revealed the information he collected.
There are documents, video recordings and more to show the Obama administration and the FBI were very well aware of the depth of the Russian conspiracy to control the uranium market, even in the United States. The former president wanted a reset with Russia at all costs.
Circa news reporter Sarah Carter was asked if Hillary Clinton should be worried about what we learn Tuesday and her one word answer was, “Yes.”
In June 2010 Bill Clinton Met with Putin – In July 2010 Ten Russian Agents Were Released
It has been widely reported that Bill Clinton flew to Russia in 2010 and was paid $500,000 for giving one single speech. It is also well know that during his trip to Russia, the former President petitioned the State Department to allow him to meet with a key member of the Russia state owned uranium company Rosatom.
The Hill reported in October:
As he prepared to collect a $500,000 payday in Moscow in 2010, Bill Clinton sought clearance from the State Department to meet with a key board director of the Russian nuclear energy firm Rosatom — which at the time needed the Obama administration’s approval for a controversial uranium deal, government records show.
Arkady Dvorkovich, a top aide to then-Russian President Dmitri Medvedev and one of the highest-ranking government officials to serve on Rosatom’s board of supervisors, was listed on a May 14, 2010, email as one of 15 Russians the former president wanted to meet during a late June 2010 trip, the documents show.
The Hill continued in noting that:
Bill Clinton instead got together with Vladimir Putin at the Russian leader’s private homestead.
A short time later the Obama’s Administration approved the sale of 20 percent of US uranium to Russia. The Clinton foundation walked away with millions and the US lost one-fifth of its...
Here’s Why ISIS Murdered 305 Fellow Muslims in Egypt
The day before, a group of heavily armed terrorists waving the black Islamic State group’s flag arrived at a mosque packed with worshipers in Bir al-Abed, which is west of El Arish in the northern part of the Sinai desert, and started shooting in all directions. Though no group has officially claimed responsibility for the attack, many observers believe the terrorists were affiliated with Wilayat Sinai.
Thereafter, the terrorists detonated a bomb and continued shooting at survivors who wanted to escape the carnage.
The Times of Israel reported the jihadists arrived in “five all-terrain vehicles and positioned themselves at the main door and the facility’s 12 windows before opening fire.”
At least 27 children were among those killed, while another 128 people were wounded in the massacre, according to local media.
“They also shot at the ambulances,” an eyewitness told Jerusalem Online.
Other eyewitnesses said children screamed in terror as the barbaric terrorists shouted “Allahu akbar” during the deadly shooting spree.
The terrorists later began systematically liquidating people who were wounded in the attack, the eyewitnesses told The Associated Press.
“Everyone lay down on the floor and kept their heads down. If you raised your head you get shot,” Mansour, a Sufi Muslim who attended the prayer services in the al-Rawdah mosque, told the AP.
“The shooting was random and hysterical at the beginning, and then became more deliberate: whoever they weren’t sure was dead or still breathing was shot dead,” he added.
The attackers prevented Egyptian security forces from reaching the mosque by...
