Just how humanlike are we talking about? Are we talking about a real doll, or something that is so phenomenally advanced as to be practically human (e.g. Chii from 'Chobits')?
The former is kind of icky, the latter is fine in my book. Of course, I highly doubt we would see such incredible A.I. in our lifetimes, or even the lifetimes of our grandchildren's children. The kind of processing power displayed by even the meanest and commonest androids from that show make our most powerful supercomputers look like sub-ENIAC pieces of trash. Even the miniature 'laptop' versions are capable of human-level language/voice recognition and output, bodily coordination, visual recognition and processing, memory, and more. The more advanced laptop models are even capable of advanced abstract thought. And of course, the most advanced of the human-sized models are mentally equivalent to any living human; perhaps even smarter.
If an android possess a truly humanlike mind and is capable of making humanlike decisions (including the ability to accept, or potentially reject romantic advances), and giving consent, I don't see what the problem is. It's only creepy or weird when you're doing it with something that is not capable of saying no to you, or isn't even conscious at all.
But that's just my opinion.

We will definitely see sex robots by 2050, they're going to cost an arm and a leg tho. I think a lot of people won't be able to afford them but there are going to be a ton of sex robot brothels. It will probably put low end hookers out of business for the most part. I don't think many people will have relationships with sex robots, maybe a small few like geeks who spend their life savings on one but the average person rich enough to buy one can land a woman. Remember there are only so many raw materials to make them and will probably be something like 8 billion men at that point so guys are pretty much stuck with real women for marriage and relationships lol.

I don't think this is something we will see anytime soon, but certainly there are people that would be interested. I think it would be perfect for anyone that wants an unemotional sex object. I think it is more likely to interest men than women.
I can understand why the conversation always turns to sex, however, I can honestly say sex is the least reason why I want to date a robot. I mean I can get sex now what I can't get is honesty, trust etc from guys. That would not be the case with a robot.

I disagree on the honesty and trust bit not being the case with a robot as it's possible you can not only get honesty and trust from a robot but you can get far more from the robot than a guy.
