America’s First ‘Robot Sex Brothel’ Is Bad News for Our Culture
The Daily Signal ^ | September 28, 2018 | Monica Burke

Sex robots are coming to America, and Houston is the first battleground.

The first “robot sex brothel” in America is set to open in Houston, Texas, this November. The mayor is currently investigating how to restrict or regulate it.

The owner plans to expand to 10 locations in the U.S. by 2020.

This disturbing development is sure to have a negative impact on society.

The brand of brothels, KinkSdollS, is owned by Yuval Gavriel. The first location opened in Tokyo in 2017. Clients can test the merchandise and pay by the half-hour to be alone with a doll.

Concerned citizens in Houston are right to point out that sex robots are unsafe, unsanitary, and likely to increase demand for sex trafficking.

Psychologists too have warned that sex robots could increase sex addiction. This is unsurprising given the science of pornography.

Studies suggest that pornography changes the way people think. According to a 2012 survey, “56 percent [of 1500 men] said their tastes in porn had become ‘increasingly extreme or deviant’ the more [internet] porn they watched.” The study also suggests that internet pornography is causing serious sexual dysfunction in men.

Sexual encounters with robots could cause even further problems.

Research shows that porn consumers frequently escalate into more extreme and violent forms of pornography due to the addictive nature of porn consumption. The use of increasingly lifelike sex dolls could potentially reinforce this trend, and these addictions ultimately bleed into broader society.

Congress perceived this danger and this past June, the House passed the Curbing Realistic Exploitative Electronic Pedophilic Robots (CREEPER) Act, a bill to “ban the importation and transportation of sex robots and dolls that look like children.”

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte pointed out one reason why these robots are so horrifying: “Customers can order bespoke dolls, providing pictures of specific children they would like the doll to resemble. They can indicate a preferred facial expression such as sadness or fear.”

This kind of behavior is not just unsettling, it is dangerous. Abusers can simulate violent fantasies on the dolls—bringing them one step closer to abusing real children. The same thing can be said of adult sex robots.

They will only breed the mentality of objectifying women and may contribute to the normalization of sexual violence.

Indeed, the potential effects of sex robots on society could be devastating.

The feminist effort to de-objectify and empower woman terminates in replacement with ROBOTS! Is this too sad to be funny...or too funny to be sad?

Just like a certain strive for $15.00 an hour, they will be replaced with robots. Hopefully not the same robots, but yeah, robots.

The male of the species... actually the male of any species need absolutely no training or influence to make a life goal of trying to reproduce in every form they can. It is primal instinct, It comes from the very root stem of the brain, they couldn’t squelch this subconscious urge if they tried. They are going to do it one way or another no matter what. The only option is are they going to create harm while doing it or not.

And it starts at 14 and lasts the rest of their lives even though we do our very best to hide the concept from them. They get the worst at the end of their lifespan when all rational thought and control eludes them such as with Alzheimer’s and Dementia. The ability to control this primal urge becomes non-existent even though they have absolutely no clue where they are or who they are.

Fish do not need to be trained how to swim. :)

No, I would not. That is correct.

My male friends never mock me, but if they did, I wouldn’t care, because they don’t mean it.

A woman mocking you, on the other hand, means it.

Understood.
I’m not sure I agree, but I’m not sure I completely disagree, either, LOL.

I understand what you're saying, and it's a realistic observation that needs to be taken into consideration.

When I said 'rape training," I did not mean "training how to achieve penetration and ejaculation into a somewhat feminine-looking orifice." {I reckon any man, chimp or bonobo could do that.)

I meant "training yourself OUT OF any elements of social or moral maturity you might have acquired over the years, which suggest that sexual intercourse is structured for the couple-bonding of a man and a woman toward the formation of a stable family with children."

Or even "training yourself OUT OF any traces of instinctual humanity which inclines you to interpersonal rather than mechanistic satisfactions."

How-to-copulate is part of the --- well, I was going to say part of the honorable mammalian heritage, but on second thought, it probably arises in the reptile brain. You can "get" that without trying, without one rational thought.

It's relating as a human, with a human, that requires rational thought,emotional richness, moral virtue such as prudence, courage, generosity, justice, thoughtfulness, consideration. decency, even jolly good-fellowship. It's that that you'd have to train yourself out of --- that is, if you want to be a suitable partner to a mere thing, a non-sentient chattel, a household appliance. Or, alternatively, fit to rape or be raped.

I truly hope most men would not de-train to be de-humanized.

I am daily grateful for the husband I have, who is way, WAY over on the human side.

Wow, my gender sounds so horrible the way you describe us. And you are not alone. So sad. I do blame feminism. And I apologize for these horrible condescending nagging shrews you guys are complaining about.

I would hate to be stuck with a woman like that. And I am a woman. I’d like to think good women like me do have some value as companions and co-adventurists and conversationalists, as well as sex partners. After all, you guys do have lifelike silicone robots for that now.

It’s merely a symptom of the disease.

“I’d like to think good women like me do have some value as companions and co-adventurists and conversationalists, as well as sex partners.”

I would too. Honestly.

Such has sadly not been my experience.

What usually starts out nicely eventually doesn’t remain that way.

Unfortunately familiarity breeds contempt, and contempt slowly builds.

It’s a two way street though. It would be unfair of me to pretend otherwise.

I feel the other side of the two way street. And part of me still believes in a good marriage because I can see how, if both are kind and considerate and fair, as well as loving and fun, it is possible. But one person can’t do it all alone.

That’s true, and such people are very rare. To get two of them together is even rarer.

It’s worth looking for, I suppose, but realistically the chances of finding that in today’s world is very darn slim.

I'm sure there are plenty of fellas here that can help the mayor out by advising him(?) on the ways that their WIVES do it!!!
