The technology enabled by artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR) are driving a new phenomenon in a UK sex doll and their wider acceptance in social circles as not being deviant. Yep, it’s a little bit difficult to wrap you head around that one but give it a shot as I lay out the argument in favor of such a premise.
Sexual Health
This is probably 90% psychological and 10% physical, but that’s just by my standards. I am neither a psychologist nor a medical doctor. However, the sexual needs of men are less discerning than it is for women. As a result, men seek both an emotional and physical release by persuading a potential partner to have sex with them. Yes, we are talking about “picking up” a woman for a one-nighter and things like that. Prostitution is an option but it is illegal despite being “overlooked” by some law enforcement on the streets. It’s also dangerous from the physical health point of view. Sex dolls offer a new alternative with the advent of new technologies.
The Coming Wave of Sex Dolls
What if you could actually have a conversation with your sex dolls? Yep, we’re talking about a relevant conversation that creates arousal, emotional connection, and eventually the development of attachment to the doll, love if you will. Technology is on the verge of creating a robotic capability that will enable that kind of experience. Couples that with the existing versions of the dolls that are already anatomically appealing with real–feeling silicone skin and desirable features and you’re on your way to a groundbreaking experience that approaches reality. AI provides the psychological interaction while VR adds to the virtual experience of touch and feel. Throw in sensors in all the right places that will trigger the correct bodily response and we may have hit nirvana in having sex with a willing partner anytime we want. Yeah, scary, I know.
The Hurdles
All this UK sex doll for male authenticity comes at a price. There is a little-known hypothesis (well, little-known to me anyway) called “The Uncanny Valley” that says that if you create the natural experience in every way possible using a robot, the actual response from a human is revulsion and rejection. The problem we have is that the designers of these dolls are driven by artistic perfection in both the AI and VR sense of the situation because they are driven to sculpt the perfect female. Making a doll that says to you, “I want to become a real person with a real body and learn the meaning of love” is not the way to go. Keep it real but not that real. The human man has to understand that the UK sex doll is a tool to achieve sexual health and reduce risk in the act of sex.
