Should Pedophiles Be Allowed To Use Child Sexbots?

It won’t be much longer before we start using personal robots to fulfil our erotic desires. But what if these sexbots will be used to mimic illegal sexual activities, such as pedophilia?

This hugging robot means we’re one step closer to doppelgänger sexbots

Meet the Sense-Roid, a touchy mannequin from Japan’s University of Electro-Communications. When you don a special tactile jacket and hug this torso, it gropes you right back. Strange? Verily.
