"Mechanized pornography" - a direct consequence of the Darwinian belief that humans are "robot vehicles blindly programmed"

Nancy Pearcey wrote in her newly released book Love Thy Body: "The next step, some say, is robotic sex (with sex dolls). Futurists predict that in ten years sex robots will become more popular than porn. The first sex doll brothel has already opened in Barcelona, Spain. A materialist philosophy has been teaching people that they are merely complex mechanisms, and now we are seeing the logical outcome—the substitution of machines for real persons. The ultimate depersonalization."

London-based AI (artificial intelligence) researcher David Levy predicted in his 2007 book Love and Sex with Robots that humans would have sex, fall in love and even marry robots by 2050.

“I don’t see anything wrong in using a sex robot to provide sexual satisfaction to people who can’t achieve it in relationships with other humans. It’s much better for lonely and miserable people than no sex at all… Sex robots are just providing an alternative," Levy wrote.

Dr. Kathleen Richardson, Professor of Ethics and Culture of Robots and AI, wrote in response to Levy’s idea:

“…Levy also proposes that sex robots could help to reduce prostitution. However, studies have found that the introduction of new technology supports and contributes to the expansion of the sex industry. … Prostitution and pornography production also rises with the growth of the internet. In 1990, 5.6 percent of men reported paying for sex in their lifetime, by 2000, this had increased to 8.8 percent. 

What really happens is that girls and women increasingly feel pressured to be a real-life embodiment of what boys and men have learned from watching porn, “adopting exaggerated roles and behaviors and providing their bodies as mere sex aids. Growing up in today’s porn culture, girls quickly learn that they are service stations for male gratification and pleasure," according to Pearcey.

World leading athiest Richard Dawkins, argues on the basis of Darwinian, humanistic thought that humans are merely “survival machines—robot vehicles blindly programmed” to preserve their genes.

So if girls are already conditioned in this hyper sex-saturated culture to believe they are to be used for male sexual gratification by default, then a culture that lives on mechanized sex is just that one step further.

For years, ever since the introduction of Darwinian evolution being taught in schools and broadcast mediums, people of all ages have been programmed to believe that humans are nothing more than moist robots. The advent of robotised sex is thus a completely logical and non-surprising outcome.

"But how did it become possible that some people would prefer a mechanized doll to a real person?" Pearcey asks the question all of us want the answer to.

"The answer is that sex has been steadily de-personalized.  Start with the hookup culture: It rests on the assumption that sex can be purely physical -- cut off from the whole person, without any hint of love or commitment.

"Young people know the script all too well.  In my new book Love Thy Body, I include several heart-wrenching quotes from college students -- like Alicia, who says, “Hookups are very scripted.... You learn to turn everything off except your body and make yourself emotionally invulnerable.

"Another student told Rolling Stone magazine the mistake people make is they “assume there are two very distinct elements in a relationship, one emotional and one sexual, and they pretend like there are clean lines between them.”  In other words, they treat sex as a strictly physical act isolated from the rich inner life of the whole person.

"Critics of the hookup scene often claim it gives sex too much importance, but in reality it gives sex too little importance.  It treats the body as nothing but a physical organism driven by physical urge and instincts.

"No wonder it is creating a trail of wounded people.  They are trying to live out a view of sexuality that does not fit who they really are."

Melissa Farley, founder of San Francisco based Prostitution Research and Education, says robots function as “mechanized pornography.” Everything we know about the harms of pornography—how it teaches men to dehumanise and degrade women—“applies ten times more to these mechanised females.”

In the U.S., Yuval Gavriel, founder of “Kinky S Dolls,” is trying to skirt legal regulations by claiming his company is not a robot brothel (which currently exist in Europe and Japan) but a “showroom.” Customers can rent the dolls, test them on the premises, and decide whether to buy one. Half hour in a private room with a sex robot costs $60.

Customers may also purchase a robot, but for most people the cost is prohibitive: from $2,500 to $10,000 for a high-end doll with artificial intelligence that can talk and respond to touch. Realistically, most customers will “rent” the dolls.

Some argue that sex robots will reduce crime (such as human trafficking), as potential offenders take out their fantasies on dolls instead of real people. But such opinions are “not borne out by evidence,” writes Dr Richardson.

"There are numerous sexual artificial substitutes already available, RealDolls, vibrators, blow-up dolls etc., If an artificial substitute reduced the need to buy sex, there would be a reduction in prostitution but no such correlation is found."

In 2017 the House of Representatives passed H.R. 4655 named the CREEPER Act outlawing the transportation, owning or selling of child sex dolls in the U.S. The bill is founded on the notion that child-like sex dolls do not deter abusers from harming children. These dolls normalize the acts of pedophilia and legitimize the urge to sexualize children.

H.R. 4655 states, “The dolls and robots are intrinsically related to abuse of minors, and they cause the exploitation, objectification, abuse, and rape of minors.”

Not only will the robots fail to subdue the demand for consumerized humans, but they are also a place of rehearsal for horrifically extreme fantasies of rape, abuse, torture, pedophilia, and other deviant harm.

"Once an abuser tires of practicing on a doll, it's a small step to move on to a child," bill sponsor Rep. Dan Donovan said, while fellow House Republican Bob Goodlatte noted the child sex dolls "desensitize the user, causing him to engage in sicker and sicker behavior."

A release from Donovan's office reported the UK seized 128 of the dolls, and 85% of the men who imported them were found to have child porn. Goodlatte noted the dolls not only can be made to look like a specific child, they can also be given certain facial expressions, like fear or sadness.
