This sort of steers away from the topic, but one thought I have about the future is sex robots. These are already being invented, and will become more "lively" and "real" over time. I've wondered if men will go for these dolls instead of real relationships, when they can have sex without all the psychological and other benefits and troubles that come with a real relationship?

There are men who are living much this way right now. There are these realistic dolls men can buy (one source charges about $5,000 each) and I recently saw a documentary about one such guy. I don't know what he does for a living, but he literally has over 20, maybe over 30, of these dolls. He puts them all in pajamas before bed (and so, I guess he dresses them all in the morning), and he picks one each night to take to bed for sex. Clearly, there's something wrong with guys like this. (Yes, I'm being judgmental, but c'mon! This ain't normal, no matter how you slice it!)

There are also those men who seek mail order brides from other countries, and all I've seen and read about these men, shows that most of them are looking for submissive wives who serve their men, because (my opinion) they can't handle a relationship based on equality with a strong woman.

Some men, however, simply aren't attractive to the opposite sex, and I feel bad for them, so I understand why such men should have access to prostitutes. I don't think badly of men who seek prostitutes out of loneliness.
