The media has been reporting on love dolls for years as if they were already part of everyday life. Love dolls, which are actually part of everyday life for many people, also make the headlines. Some newspapers and magazines, but also radio stations, try to take a closer look and allow different perspectives, from users and those affected. Petitions like those on campaignagainstsexrobots.org and open letters from opponents of artificial love servants also read as if sex robots were ubiquitous.
It is also suggested that a type that supports stereotypes prevails. In fact, male sex dolls hardly exist in mainstream society – but when it comes to love dolls, the reality is more complex. In addition to the widespread Pamela Anderson replicas, there are also fantasy figures such as anime and manga girls or elves. The market for sex robots could develop in a similarly diverse way. In addition to Harmony, Henry, her brother so to speak, is also in the program. This is probably aimed primarily at homosexual men, but heterosexual women could also benefit from it.
With 4 you almost automatically end up in the gamer scene. With 6 you can connect with lifelike sex doll institutions like monasteries and seminars. The considerations on nursing and old people’s homes are placed at the beginning, as research is already being carried out in this area. Military, prisons and religious institutions follow, since these seem to be of particular practical relevance. Finally, the remaining areas are treated.
After all, it is about legal and pragmatic aspects. Similar questions arise as in the prison example, e.g. B. whether there is a right to an artificial love servant and logistically, who should be responsible for the loan or the purchase, who is responsible for the operation and who pays for repairs and replacement purchases. In case of war.
it must be remembered that the artificial love servants have to be transported and stored and that they can fall into enemy hands. Liability issues are also relevant, e.g. B. there is overuse and accidents or violence occur with the help of love dolls and sex dolls. These in turn are linked to ethical questions. Incidentally, the secret project Borghild – sex dolls for the troops in Nazi Germany – may be an invention, and even the media that spread the story are doing so with reservations.
