The      robot is controlled by pneumatics.    <\/p>\n<p>    Some ethicists argue sexbots will improve our lives by ending    prostitution and sex trafficking, and by fulfilling human    needs. The Christian Post spoke with three Christians who have    written on topics related sex and human relationships and    technology to get their take on the issue.  <\/p>\n<p>    The technology required to make a sexbot, or a robot designed    for sexual relations with a human, is quickly becoming    available, and some companies are already working toward that    goal.  <\/p>\n<p>    First, robotics companies are already working toward designing    robots that can move like humans and respond to humans with    facial expressions. Second, there are several companies that    make \"sex dolls.\" Unlike robots, sex dolls cannot move on their    own, but these companies continue to advance their goal of    making products that look and feel as lifelike as possible. And    third, artificial intelligence will allow computers to interact    with humans by making their own choices and learning from    experience.  <\/p>\n<p>    As these three technologies coalesce, manufactures will be able    to mass produce robots designed for sexual relations with    humans. One New Jersey-based company claims to have made    the world's first sexbot, although one enthusiast    told Reasonthe effort \"fell far short    of expectations.\"  <\/p>\n<p>    Sexbots in film  <\/p>\n<p>    As is often the case with new technology, Sexbots have already    been imagined by science fiction writers. For just a few film    examples, \"Vice,\" released in January and starring Bruce    Willis, is about a \"pleasure robot\" that becomes self aware and    escapes. \"West World\" (1973), had a similar plot, complete with    sexbots, and is being remade for HBO.  <\/p>\n<p>      Still of Jude Law and Ashley Scott as sexbots, Gigolo Joe and      Gigolo Jane, in A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)    <\/p>\n<p>    1975's \"The Stepford Wives\" imagined a town where all the wives    were replaced with robots. Daryl Hannah was a sexbot in 1989's    \"Blade Runner.\" In 2001, Jude Law portrayed a sexbot named    \"Gigolo Joe\" in the film \"A.I. Artificial Intelligence.\"  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Visit link:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.christianpost.com\/news\/is-it-ok-to-have-sex-with-a-robot-135902\" title=\"Is It OK to Have Sex With a Robot?\">Is It OK to Have Sex With a Robot?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> March 18, 2015|4:54 pm ChihiraAico, a communication android robot, gestures to show goers at the Toshiba booth at the International Consumer Electronics show in Las Vegas, Nevada, January 6, 2015.
