The ex-boyfriend of a friend of ours, for example... he stayed in touch with us for a little while after they broke up, and when he came over one evening to pick up something, GoddessJ asked him about his new girlfriend. She was expecting a description of what the girl looked like, what she did for a living, that kind of thing... what he said was "she has a really high sex drive. I need that right now." Then again, he was never the sharpest knife in the drawer. But my point is, once AI gets to the level that robots can interact with humans as well as (or better than) other humans can, you <em>wouldn't</em> have to see women as sex objects in order to enjoy sex with one, necessarily. AI is going to get there sooner or later. I’ve known a few men who seem to think of all women that way.

If one does, then I guess there's no problem. Well, it depends upon if you want your partner to be a sex object. If one does, then I guess there’s no problem.

I don't see why sex with a robotic woman should be any more "ewwww" than sex with a real one. Though if you're talking about the dolls, I have to agree... I definitely prefer my women alive, though a reasonable facsimile of it might be sufficient. Why? I don’t see why sex with a robotic woman should be any more “ewwww” than sex with a real one.
