psychology<\/a> of sex, Dr. Driscoll claims that ‘robophilia’ will increase exponentially soon as special ‘love robots’ become more common and advanced.

Dr Driscoll says: \u201cWe tend to think about issues such as virtual reality and robotic sex within the context of current norms.\u00a0But if we think back to the social norms about sex that existed just 100 years ago, it is obvious that they have changed rapidly and radically.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cAs virtual reality becomes more realistic and immersive and is able to mimic and even improve on the experience of sex with a human partner; it is conceivable that some will choose this in preference to sex with a less than perfect human being. People may also begin to fall in love with their virtual reality partners.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nPart of the appeal will no doubt be the willingness of the partner to engage in whatever kind of bedroom Olympics that the human desires. No taboo, position or practice will be out of bounds. Ageing won’t be an issue and the robots will be able to be tailored to look like anyone or anything.<\/p>\n
