Humans have long been motivated and driven by pleasure. It's a basic biological and psychological component of animal beings. The desire for sexual gratification is often not met by some who can't find a partner to be with. They have to masturbate, pay for pleasure, or take it by violent force.
The lack of sexual gratification in many lives has been a long time source and demand for a market to emerge. Brothels accommodate the sexual desires of many. Women have long been used for sexual stimulus. The deeper connection and intimacy is not present, but that doesn't matter when the focus is on lower consciousness pleasure gratification alone, or the reception of money for giving pleasure as a service.
Hyper-sexualization is present in society and has become a norm in many ways, with many ads using sexuality and symbols of sex and pleasure to stimulate and motivate consumers into buying their products, especially targeted at men. Some people are not adequately capable of being involved in a romantic relationship with another human for various reasons, and others have a high level sex-drive that isn't being fulfilled by their partner. Pornography is already rampant in our hyper-sexualized society and distorts the relationship with sexual pleasure.
Cheating on a partner with another person, or paying for sex happens for various reasons. In recent decades, sex dolls have been made to satisfy the desires for sexual gratification in the lives of many. Artificial intelligence is also being added to the dolls to make them respond in human-like ways so as to create the illusion of a human-like intimacy.
In a short documentary on the growing sex doll and sex robot phenomenon called "Sex Robots and Us", some brothels are incorporating sex robots into their business to gratify men. They think in 30 years that more humans will be having sex with robots/dolls than with other humans. I find this very sad for the psychological state of humanity.
"It felt so human. It was so weird.... If we have these complex robots being made, people are going to find them sexually attractive. And then when the technology is there with AI, they are going to be companions as well. I think you can just see it happening."
"It felt like I glimpsed the future. A future that would include super realistic, super intelligent, and super sexual humanoids."
Some see sex robots as a positive for older people too. They want senior citizen homes to have access to sex robots to deal with their loneliness and relieve a burden from the workers there. It would probably diminish the sexual harassment from some old perverts too.
People are so lonely that they are turning to robots to find some level of intimacy. People are buying dolls for so-called "relationships" that replace real human relationships and intimacy. Obtaining a relationship or sex with another is being supplied by artificial creations rather than the natural form of human-to-human relations, even if some of those are artificial relations through the form of paying for sex from someone who doesn't really care about you. They just want money and wouldn't be doing it without money. Plus, many are coerced into sex work for survival and from gangs, and many are conditioned into accepting that way of life as the only things they can do.
I find it's a sad state for humanity that we are already in, and the direction we are going towards for satisfying baser physical desires is removing the connection that a real human relationship can bring. I suppose for some they prefer the artificial fulfillment of their desires to the complications of interacting with another person. And I suppose that the removal of sex work from humans is good in terms of not having women exploited for sex like they currently are, reducing the need for evil people to exploit or enslave young girls and women, abusing them and making them dependent on a way of life that they would have otherwise not become dependent upon.
But isn't this part of a good "price" to pay for the pleasure of sex: to have to commit into a relationship and bond with another human for greater life satisfaction and intimacy as you share your life and grow together as a couple?
So many people are led by the pleasure trap and satiating their lower consciousness baser carnal physical desires that they don't want to put in the time, effort, energy, determination, dedication and persistence to find someone and make a relationship work. Human relationships will take a hit when your main motivation is sex, and not human contact or connection. Why bother trying to get into a relationship with someone when you can more easily just get off by paying for it, either form another human or using a sex doll or sex robot...
Paying for sex in either case is coming from a lower consciousness unconscious motivation and drive to satisfy sexual desires. What will the state of human relationships be like in years to come? Where will human companionship be? Will we have more artificial relationships with robots that simulate human contact and relations? What need will there be for real human relationships and romance when people can just get their sexual 'fix' more easily from artificial creations instead? Cue the Brave New World or Gattica style artificial insemination or human production society...
There is one manufacturer interviewed in Tokyo who makes a lot of sex dolls and interchangeable parts.
He even makes models where the client can determine the age they want, making it more "kid-like"...
"We have to leave it to the customer's imagination for the actual age setting.... But there might be some kind of sentiment to petite, kid like size"
I already don't like the sexbot trend, but this is troubling as well. It's all legal, so the manufacturer does whatever they can get paid to do and within the legal framework.
The documentarian says he "wasn't expecting that."
"I walked into that place, and see them all laid out in these positions, and it becomes really apparent... that's a female form being printed out, ready to be abused or used however. Then you see the child body, and yeah, id doesn't seem... suddenly it seems very... I don't know... it doesn't seem quite the same...
[...]
I felt pessimistic about what kind of future we are creating for ourselves
[...]
The development of the sexbot industry seemed unstoppable
[...]
I struggle to see what benefit sex robots can bring to society.
[...]
For men it's actually something you can interact with and enact fantasies on, which seems potentially risky, psychologically, we don't really know the impact of this kind of thing.
[...]
It seems we're steeping backwards in our progress."
The projected future that many are desiring and creating seems rather sad and pathetic in many ways, and a testament to how low we are going in our state of consciousness being ruled by unconsciouses biological desires to rule our behavior; to abandon the complexity and deeper connection with others in a real romantic relationship and receiving all the benefits it provides, which includes sexual intimacy.
Thank you for your time and attention. Peace.
