I've seen exactly how attached people become to them, and I see that they STILL want relationships no matter how attached they become to their electronics. Except, as I said, for that niche population which wouldn't be very interested in human contact (real human contact) regardless.
I don't recall making a value judgment,whether for good or for ill. I said only that people will *want* to continue to have babies. Obviously, given overpopulation (which I talked about in my post), it wouldn't necessarily be a good thing but I did not say it would be; merely that people would still want it.
We still want food even when our bodies don't need it. We still want sex even when we don't need or even want to procreate. Some of us still want to procreate even if there are plenty of people in the world. We still want relationships regardless of the availability of prostitutes, sexual devices and eventually, the existence of moving "real dolls"...at least if history (thousands of years of it) has anything at all to say about the present. That was kinda the whole point, Phil.
It just seems you're painting with a broad brush - not EVERYONE has these desires, needs or wants. Hence, the target market for these robots.
I mean a human appearing robot who walks, talks, has a memory, has a brainlike contraption inside of her her, who can debate or argue with you if that's what you want, who can work for a living, who will be legally allowed to marry you by 2050 says the author.
Who is created because of and in demand due to the pickiness and spoiled attitude (according to the author) of the women who were rejecting the good men for them in favor of superficial boys and or were choosing to be alone due to anti male propaganda.
They will if they're smart. Guys have enough trouble with their fleshlights getting all sticky and linty. I imagine that the designers of Real Dolls or robots or whatever would construct the same type of thing, a canister that can be removed and cleaned, or replaced as needed. On the other hand, if they don't and you wreck one, then you have to buy another.

Actually, Phil, I think I've said *several* times now that there is in fact a market for these robots and I didn't say "everyone" has these desires. In fact...I made it pretty plain that there are exceptions...but apparently I didn't make it plain enough for everyone.
You can't get preggers from a robot or catch an std - computer "viruses" aren't transmissible.
That's a bonus.
That's absolutely true, but the same can be said for machines, non-mechanical devices of all kinds, human "temporary" substitutes, the internet and one's own hand, yet you notice that throughout history, none of these has replaced actual relationships to a large enough extent that the continued population was compromised.
