The Truth Behind Sex Dolls Are Creepy Or Healthy?

For those who are keen on science fiction and romantic romance novels, Tanis Lee’s classic novel “Silver Metal Lovers” is a classic work that cannot be missed.

In addition to capturing the enthusiasm and obsession of first love, Tanis also explored the relationship between humans and artificial intelligence. She tells the story of a lonely young girl falling in love with a robot singer. Through the girl’s love for robots, it seems to become more like humans, although whether it is really alive or just a question of illusion in the book and Has not been explained.

This highlights an important question in the modernization of sex robots: how far can the attachment to an inanimate, increasingly human-like artifact go? Will we give up our relationship with others for the sake of an imaginary partner? Is it realistic?

In “Sex doll, is it weird or healthy?” In the article, the author studies human attitudes towards inanimate substitutes. As more and more premium sex dolls or sex robots are sold on the market, and they have gained a place in the literary world over the years, they will become more and more popular. Appeared in science fiction movies and online shows.

The history of sex dolls can be traced back to Indian paintings in the 17th century. In 1908, they appeared in the bar catalogs in Paris and began to appear in American magazines in 1968. Everyone discussed the advancement of sex doll technology, which is full of more realistic features, and has the ability to resemble people, and even surpass it in some cases.

But the key problem is that they may exacerbate interpersonal problems, especially for cowardly people, allowing them to avoid facing social problems and may strengthen objectification and exploitation of humanity. Does the increase in interest in man-made objects herald the deterioration of interpersonal relationships, which may seriously threaten our intimacy and attachment ability? For some people, it may indeed be more attractive than relationships with others, because the nature of the interaction is multifaceted.

Our relationships with sex dolls and virtual reality (VR) partners can avoid the emotional risks inherent in relationships with other humans, providing a simple answer to loneliness. Looking at the continuous growth of the VR game market, players can build an ideal partner according to their specific requirements, and then order it as they wish. It seems that there is no response, but it may cause harm to the player.

In order to understand the attitude of today’s society towards sex dolls, some people interviewed more than 300 college students as a survey sample, and about 80% of the respondents were women. They completed a 34-question survey, asking them about their attitudes towards sex dolls or humanoid robots (ie, lifeless, unresponsive humanoid artifacts).

How well does the interviewee know about sex dolls? How open are they? Do they think it is possible to fall in love with a robot? They will not reject the request. Is it appealing? Is marrying a robot realistic? Is it a good idea to let robots take over some jobs? The researchers investigated whether the interviewees believed that sex robots were stigmatized and whether they thought they would feel intimacy with sex robots.

Overall, most interviewees do not understand, but 20% of people understand that people choose to communicate with dolls or robots instead of humans, and 15% are neutral on this issue. Regarding stigma, about one-third of people think that sex dolls or sex robots will bring stigma, 40% hold a neutral attitude, and 28% disagree. Most people think that interacting with sex dolls or robots is a bad idea, and only 11% think it is a good idea.

Although most of the interviewees do not accept this advanced idea, a considerable number of people are open-minded. Perhaps not surprisingly, the majority of people who accept this view are men, they have less religious beliefs, and their social attitudes are more open. Given that in today’s society, intimate relationships are becoming more and more difficult, which is reflected in the rising divorce rate and people’s increasing difficulty in developing and maintaining satisfactory relationships. With advances in robotics and artificial intelligence, this phenomenon will It will continue, and it will only become more common.

As with other new fields that are changing the landscape of interpersonal relationships (social media, online dating, etc.), it is important not only to track changes in attitudes but also to track the positive and negative effects of the choices we are making. It is of increasing practical significance to consider how to use the new technology to our advantage and prevent the new technology from harming our way. Ongoing research and cultural debate will become increasingly important, helping us understand how we change ourselves and how this will affect us.

Perhaps in the future, it will be commonplace for those who wish to establish an intimate relationship with sex dolls and sex robots. However, considering the thinking of traditional Chinese society, we can foresee that as these phenomena become ubiquitous and regulated, there will be many fierce debates between progressives and conservatives.
