all these things are neutral but they do feed the twisted minds. When they are tired of the toys, there is a high chance these twisted minds will turn to people. But should these kinds of twisted behaviours be accepted, condone and treated like mainstream. It was not so many years ago that talking about s3x was taboo. Now its used to tell everything. Sometimes, we let thing slide but how far and how much and what is the price we are paying or going to pay.
You're looking at it as sex with an inanimate object. No doubt, this is similiar to the current trend of sex with blow up sex dolls. But honestly, lets put aside the whole debate of whether such behaviour is twisted or not. Do not forget that normality is defined by society. When we look back at what was normal in the past, we sometimes find it laughable do we not? Its never right to judge normality, and hence, what is twisted, thru our present eyes. Afterall, if people of the past saw you today, you'd be a very twisted person indeed, for u're a girl but u're wearing pants.
Humans are a constantly evolving creature. The long and short is that anyone not willing to accept evolution and sees evolution as a "slide", will not wish to pay the "price" however justified and necessary it is. In the end, its not hard to guess who becomes extinct 1st.
Taking the whole issue of robotic sex from another angle, the big question is, when robots become so human that humans cannot help falling in love with them, are people going to adopt the same attitude they adopt towards gay relationships, mixed race relationships today? How do we define what is human? How can we be sure that AI doesn't develop a self-awareness? What then defines the soul? Does human mean one has to be organic? What about people who have been so extensively cybornically modified that they are only a 'ghost' in a artificial body?
These are philosophical questions about the future facing us today. We must learn to see things from tomorrow's eyes, not today's eyes. It is very short-sighted indeed, to just assume that your eyes of today are the absolute best judgement in everything. To come right out and blatently call such behaviours and minds twisted, can be quite ill considered and is perhaps not in the most open minded context. However, I will add that males HAVE to evolve their thinking as well, for it not too incorrect to say, as sixsentinals have said, that they are so dominated by sex that everything in their lives seems driven by sex alone.
