Looks Like We’ll Be Waiting Another 43 Years For Robohusbands

Artificial intelligence researcher (and possibly lover) David Levy, in his recently defended thesis, “Intimate Relationships with Artificial Partners,” at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands, argues that human/robot marriage will first be introduced in Massachusetts in the year 2050. But no need to wait for the state-sanctified confines of matrimony for robot sex; that phenomenon is predicted to hit critical mass within the next five years. As to how it will be spread?

At first, sex with robots might be considered geeky, “but once you have a story like ‘I had sex with a robot, and it was great!’ appear someplace like Cosmo magazine, I’d expect many people to jump on the bandwagon,” Levy said.

Or, why wait for your robohusband of the future, when you can have your robot boyfriend today?
