So imagine this, folks: the future of sex work is about to get all fancy and futuristic, like a sci-fi movie on steroids. We’re talking AI taking center stage and shaking things up, whether we’re ready or not. And hey, remember that Netflix show, Altered Carbon? It blew my mind, Let’s just say, some scenes were quite the eye-opener. If you catch my drift, high-five!
The ‘perfect women were built’.
Oh, imagine the chaos on Twitter (currently known as ‘X‘) a few years back when those fancy sex robots took over the trending topics. It was like a storm in a virtual teacup, especially among the lovely ladies. Yeah, they built these “perfect women” with silicone bodies, massive knockers, and all the bells and whistles. I mean, seriously? As a former sex worker, I couldn’t help but wonder how on earth I was supposed to compete with those “perfect” replicas. I must admit, I even got a little green-eyed thinking about it. Me, jealous of a soulless robot with huge hooters? Absolutely bonkers, right? It gave me a fleeting glimpse into the future of the industry. But hey, now that I’m out of that world, I can happily say I’m no longer in a race against a sex bot. It did make me ponder the future of the profession though. Oof, crazy times indeed!
I can see this super trendy thing becoming the norm real soon, you know? I mean, sex work is more than just the physical stuff, right? Believe it or not, some of my clients just wanted a bit of chit-chat and the company of an attractive lady. Sounds bonkers, I know, but hey, maybe they were onto something. It’s like they wanted a wholesome experience, someone to listen to their rants and worries about life. And let me tell you, that’s a side of the sex industry nobody talks about! But yeah, not every fella is just looking for a heart-to-heart, and I guess these fancy sex robots are perfect for those types of customers. Though I can’t quite imagine how a wire-based, sexually motivated robot would provide the same kind of connection, you gotta give it to ’em for trying!
So the future of sex work will continue, as always from the beginning of earth, prostitution has been around and I don’t think it will be leaving us anytime soon, yes there will be overly attractive robots that will eventually be crafted to look as human as possible and this will cater for a certain group but sex work involves conversation, intimacy, connection which I find will be hard to get from a sex robot…but i could be wrong, perhaps these mere bodys of wires will be able to hold a better conversation than the most of the general public.
Good or bad?
There is an ongoing debate regarding the implications of future developments in the field of sex robots. Some argue that these advancements may lead to a decline in the demand for human sex workers, while others contend that it could potentially address issues such as rape, abuse, and violence against sex workers. However, it is crucial to consider the ethical ramifications of using sex robots solely as a means for individuals to indulge in their darkest fantasies, as depicted in the TV series “Altered Carbon”. Even if these robots are not human, it does not absolve individuals from the responsibility of distinguishing between right and wrong. This raises concerns about the potential blurring of moral boundaries.
An intriguing article published by The Sun in 2022 explored the notion that virtual reality sex could potentially provide an experience on par with that of real-life encounters. However, such a concept raises certain concerns. It is essential not to overlook the fact that sex serves as a means of establishing a genuine connection between individuals, and it can even evoke highly spiritual experiences. Consequently, recreating these profound sensations within a virtual realm appears dubious at best. The prevalence of individuals developing emotional attachments to online personas, even without physical contact, is already widely acknowledged. As exemplified by cases such as the man who ceremoniously wed a holographic entity, individuals identifying as “fictosexual” indeed exist, describing those who experience intense and enduring feelings of love towards fictional characters. With such considerations in mind, it is not inconceivable that in the forthcoming years, the media may feature headlines that highlight instances of individuals marrying AI cyberbots, illustrating a modern manifestation of the concept of digital love.”
‘A Mark Zuckerberg brothel’
In conclusion, although such a scenario is not yet a reality and may take another twenty years (or less) to materialize, it is important to be prepared for the potential emergence of cybersex and cybersex workers in our society. We need to anticipate the possibility of encountering more news headlines about “digital sex” and the advent of a new era in digitized sexual experiences. Remarkably, there are already strip clubs in the Metaverse. It is unsettling to consider the prospect that, in the not-too-distant future, one could even visit a personal brothel managed by Mark Zuckerberg. Such a notion provokes deep concern.
