My column word length allowed me to include only so much. One thing I didn't cover was the nuanced indications that sex with the dolls wasn't all that great. The orifices were too tight. Positioning the dolls was also troublesome. And cleaning them after sex was a real problem, so much so that many men used condoms with their dolls. Oral sex was rare as the mouths of the dolls are very delicate. Very few men admitted this openly to me, but I found this to be the prevalent opinion "off the record." Then there was the maintenance on the dolls ... sheesh! That was a topic all on its own. But many of the doll owners are all dripping at the eye-teeth for a robotic doll, that's for sure. The Stepford-wife creepiness of the dolls, methinks, will be magnified when they come to robotic life. The key element in sex that is lacking from the dolls is the nebulous but indisputable transfer of life energy. No machine will ever recreate it. Thanks for an evocative read.

I believe that sexbots will change our perceptions of human relationships, and in some ways we will become more demanding with respect to what we want from a human partner. This is not entirely a good thing. If someone has great sex with their robot, they will want the sex with their human partners to be great as well, which could lead to disappointment. On the other hand, sexbots will be excellent tutors, so people will be able to be taught the skills necessary in a great lover.
