In cazul in care va intrebati, sexul cu robotii poate sa nu fie sanatos

Vrei sa faci relatii sexuale fara legaturi? Ce zici de sex cu firele atasate (sau cel putin fire implicate)? Robotii sexuali (sau asa-numitii sexbots) nu vin doar, ei sunt deja aici. Dar este un lucru bun sau rau, intreaba un nou editorial din BMJ Sexual and Reproductive Health , intitulat „I, Sex Robot: implicatiile asupra sanatatii industriei robotului sexual”? 

Pentru editorial, Chantal Cox-George, doctor al fundatiei academice de la St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, si Susan Bewley, profesor de Obstetrica Complexa de la King’s College London, ambele din Regatul Unit, au revizuit dovezile stiintifice actuale din spatele utilizarii. de sexbots. Sexbot-urile sunt fiinte umane artificiale concepute pentru a face, ai ghicit, sex cu tine. In septembrie anul trecut, Rhian Morgan, a scris pentru Metro, a acoperit 5 sexbots care sunt deja pe piata. Acestea includ Roxxxy (realizate de True Companion), care se poate conecta la WiFi si va poate trimite emailuri, doar in cazul in care nu primiti deja suficiente e-mailuri si Harmony (realizat de RealDoll), care are parti pe care le puteti pune prin masina de spalat vase. , pentru ca nu vrei ca sexul tau sa fie murdar in acest fel. Exista si Samantha (realizata de Synthea Amatus), echipata cu inteligenta artificiala (AI) care permite robotului sa raspunda la saruturi si orgasm. Morgan a mentionat, de asemenea, o agentie de intalniri sexbot, numita Lumidolls, care nu se va intoarce si spune: „Imi pare rau, niciunul dintre roboti nu te intereseaza”, dar in schimb iti permite sa inchiriezi un robot sexual timp de o ora sau mai mult, in functie de portofelul tau.

In acest segment National Geographic , jurnalista de televiziune Katie Couric intalneste Harmony:

Iata o conversatie CNET cu Harmony in care robotul raspunde „zambind” atunci cand este intrebat care sunt hobby-urile sale. Robotul pune, de asemenea, cateva intrebari cu privire la R, astfel incat sa nu redati acest videoclip daca volumul computerului dvs. este puternic la locul de munca.

Apoi este Solana (din Abyss Creations), despre care Zeynep Yenisey a scris despre Maxim . In cazul in care te-ai plictisit de un singur aspect sau vrei sa crezi ca mai multe femei ca de fapt, poti sa-ti iei parul Solanei si sa-l coji pe fata Solana si sa le inlocuiesti cu diverse alternative. Oh, si Yenisey a adaugat ca botul sexual Harmony poate clipi, misca capul si va spune: „Nu vreau altceva decat voi. Obiectivul meu principal este sa fiu un partener bun si sa va ofer placere. Vreau sa devin fata la care ai visat intotdeauna ”, pentru ca asta spun oamenii adevarati, nu?

Acesti roboti pot fi liberi sa faca sex cu tine, dar cu siguranta nu sunt liberi. Potrivit Cox-George si Bewley, sexbot-urile costa in prezent intre 5000 si 15 000 USD (in dolari americani) pentru a cumpara, desi Morgan a mentionat unele preturi mai mici. Deci, probabil, sunt disponibili grupuri. Pana acum, singurele sexbots de pe piata par sa fie femei. Cu toate acestea, barbatii sunt aparent pe drum spre sfarsitul acestui an.

Este probabil inevitabil ca industria sexbot sa continue sa creasca. La urma urmei, cu aproape fiecare inventie care apare, vor exista intotdeauna oameni care se intreaba cum poate fi folosit pentru a face sau ajuta sexul. A treia Conferinta internationala despre dragoste si sex cu robotii a avut loc deja in decembrie 2017, la Londra, Marea Britanie. Springer a publicat lucrarile de la aceasta conferinta care include o publicatie de Rebekah Rousi intitulata “Minciuna roboti inselatori – roboti si infidelitate”. Viitorul va aduce probabil o linie complet noua de produse, servicii si, bineinteles, oameni de mijloc, cum ar fi consilierii sexbot. La urma urmei, ce poate fi mai zdrobitor de suflet decat sexbot-ul care te insala sau sa spui: „nu in noaptea asta, am dureri de cap”?

Sustinatorii sexbotilor au sustinut ca sexbot-urile vor contribui la reducerea singuratatii, la imbunatatirea sanatatii si a casatoriilor prin imbunatatirea vietii sexuale, vor permite oamenilor sa lucreze prin provocari sexuale si emotionale, vor reduce raspandirea infectiilor cu transmitere sexuala (desi este posibil sa fiti nevoiati sa va faceti griji pentru diferite tipuri de virusuri ) si sa previna crimele sexuale oferind o alternativa „mai sigura”.

However, the concern is that sexbots may do the opposite by reducing real human contact, blurring reality (programming someone to do exactly what you want is not reality), encouraging unsafe practices that may then be used on humans, and creating unrealistic expectations of mates. As Cox-George and Bewley indicate, opponents of sexbots have raised “concerns about the potential for harm by further promoting the pervasive idea that living women too are sex objects that should be constantly available – ‘misogynistic objectification’ – and intensifying existing physical and sexual violence against women and children.” Moreover, if you think Barbie dolls can lead to body image problems, what about life-sized Barbie dolls that can talk and do other things?

There are also potential physical risks. I’ll leave it up to your imagination to picture what could happen if a sexbot malfunctions.

After all, sex is a lot more complicated than folding clothes, making a waffle, riding a bull, or any other more mechanical act. It’s wrapped with a lot of complex mental, emotional, and physical health issues. That’s why so many books, songs, and movies have been written about sex and not waffles. Therefore, you can’t just guess about the possible impact of sexbots. You have to use science.

To check what science actually says, Cox-George and Bewley conducted a literature review by searching PubMed and Google using the terms “robot”, “sex”, “sex toys”, “doll”, “child sex abuse”, “sex therapy”, and “paedophile”, reviewing available publications including embedded references, and having informal discussions with expert informants from various specialties. It was easy for them to report on the results of formal scientific studies that evaluated the use and impact of sexbots. The report is nada. They found no such studies.

The authors stated: “We found no reports of primary data relating to health aspects of the use of sex robots” and “We call for more research in this sphere.” By more, they mean more than none. 

If you think that lack of scientific evidence will prevent people from making claims about sexbot benefits, then you need to connect better with reality. When has lack of evidence prevented everyone from saying something? Therefore, scientists and real health experts need to start evaluating this new technology before it gets out of hand, so to speak. The medical and legal communities have often had to play catch up on the ill effects of new technologies, long after the technologies were firmly established. For example, there seemed to be little talk about cyberbullying and the selling of personal information in the earlier days of the Internet.

Many questions remain. Is a sexbot a medical device? How will sexbots be evaluated for safety? How will sexbot claims be vetted? What are the potential risks? How do you keep sexbots clean? What happens if a sexbot gets a virus (the computer kind) and starts going rogue, physically harming you, or calling you really bad names? It will be much easier to deal with potential negative consequences if discussions occur and action is taken before the sexbots have left the barn or wherever people put them.

Technology and robots are most useful when they do what humans can’t or do not want to do. Or if they afford humans more time and opportunity to be human. Trouble arises when they start replacing what humans should be doing or making humans less human.
