LONDON—HarrietSugarcookie.com has a new piece asking “Why would you want a sex robot?”
“Men tend to be very specific about what they are looking for, but at the same time, they just want to be comfortable around someone else, be themselves, do what interests them,” Sugarcookie said. “But maybe they can’t or would rather not make the effort. For those people, a robotic love doll can essentially replace the human touch and provide a comforting sense of companionship.”
More than 500 men were polled, ushering in a variety of eye-opening responses to supplement Sugarcookie’s new infographic, edited to a Top 10 list. Voters could choose more than one option, which ranged from basic (shy with women or lonely) to peculiar (many wanted a partner that “shared the same interests” or they wanted to “show off their super-hot trophy girlfriend”).
All told, 67 percent of men polled said they simply wanted to have regular sex; 38 percent said they’d like to live out their fantasies they can’t do in reality; 35 percent want a partner with “amazing sexual skills” to indulge in “the ultimate sexual luxury … instant gratification.”
Other responses seemed to reflect their dissatisfaction with today’s single women: 31 percent said they want a partner who wouldn’t let them down; 21 percent yearn for someone to always listen to them; nearly 15 percent were looking for a woman who “is never sad or upset”; and 6 percent desired “an old-fashioned girl that doesn’t exist anymore.”
Sugarcookie found that men mostly want to connect —and sex robots can be both designed and programmed to look and act exactly like the ideal partner.
