    If somebody wants to have an “AI” sexbot, whether physical or digital, this isn’t anybody else’s concern. Ideally, these should not be connected to the internet, but updated through USB or done other offline method to protect users. But at the end, if this is what an individual would prefer over an actual relationship, then so be it, you probably don’t want to be in a relationship with this person anyway. The outcry seems to come from this idea that men (let’s face it, there’s no stigma around women and their sexual preferences or toys) who are undesirable to others should just be lonely and mocked for even using the most basic of sex toys/services. Let these folks have their sex toys and leave them alone, it doesn’t bother you.

      Purity culture affects everyone in different ways. Sex bots, toys sold in Walmart, YouTubers having sex toy sponsors…all of that adds up to tearing down these old social norms that have roots in religious dogma, and it’s long past time we left that archaic thinking behind.

        I wasn’t trying to imply there wasn’t issues women face around sex, just that issues with sex toys and preferences (the sex toys have “unrealistic standards” for women) mentioned in the article are specific to men.
