I've just watched a documentary about the "Sex Robots". I wondering how this will also influence marriages, in general relationships. In the long term, if few people will have relationships, there will be also a few people who have children. I think we will see the effect of the "Sex Robots" after 5-10 years. What do you think?

A lot of people want to have lots of sex at times in their lives when they don’t want to have kids.

I don’t think the desire for companionship and parenthood goes away if you replace one form of sex-with-yourself with some other form of sex-with-yourself.

I will admit that later in life childbearing has an effect on total fertility, but I think that ship sailed with effective birth control.

You might find this interesting, and it has possibly my favourite title ever :)
