Some fear that sex robots would help some people develop a taste for rape.

I think the popularity of porn, and in the future maybe sex robots, comes from the sexual prudery and prissiness of our society where people going through puberty are concerned. They become interested in sex and anyone they have sex with is likely to be jailed for it.

In addition, it is hard for some people, such as those on the autistic spectrum, to find lovers at all. Society could help them.
