I recently heard this crazy story on the news, about how ‘digisexuals,’ as they’re called, are choosing to have relationships with sex toys robots instead of with real humans. I couldn’t believe it. I mean, I know we are living in a modern world, and our technology has advanced, but I had no idea that people would prefer to sleep with machines.

As described in an article by The Sun, men who identify as ‘digisexuals,’ are turning to sex robots for their intimate needs, and these are being made increasingly lifelike and sophisticated for their pleasure. In fact, the article says that some people are so attached to their robot partners that they would rather sleep with them than a real human. Wow, vibrators right? That sounds kind of extreme to me.

I mean, yes, there are all kinds of new technologies and gadgets becoming available, but for someone to actually prefer physical intimacy with an inanimate object? That just seems kind of nuts. I’m sure these men must be getting something out of it, because if not they’d just go back to relationships with real, live people, right?

I guess what I don’t understand most of all is why, if you find yourself so disconnected from human relationships, would you choose to sleep with a robot? Wouldn’t it be more satisfying, more fulfilling, to spend time with another person? I truly don’t get it.

I’m interested to know what other people think about this. Would you rather stay away from relationships altogether and sleep with a robot? Or would you rather continue living and loving as a human? Honestly, the whole thing seems kind of strange to me.

What I know for sure is that it can’t replace the actual emotion and depth of connection that two people can share in a real relationship. Sure, physical pleasure may be present in a ‘digisexual’s’ relationship with their robot, but that’s all it could ever be – something physical. There could never be a lasting connection with an inanimate object like that. And then again, why would someone risk their reputation and maybe even their health, developing a relationship with something they know is not real? Can someone actually get emotionally attached to a robot?

Moreover, comes the question of ethics and moral values. Is it acceptable to be having this kind of relationship? I think not. It may be a personal choice and totally within one’s rights to have the kind of relationship they want, but just because something is legal, doesn’t mean it’s morally right.

At the end of the day, I just find the whole concept to be a bit ‘weird’, if you know what I mean. I think it’s important to remember that there is no Robbie or Tedbot that can replace a real human relationship, and that real human connection is something that can’t be simulated, no matter how advanced our technology gets. When it comes to relationships, no robotic do-it-yourself kit can ever replace a living, breathing, real human being.
