Whose nerves are touched by the perfect robot sex partner?

[NetEase Smart News, December 1] The sex doll industry is moving forward in its own unique way, preparing to enter a new golden age. Thanks to the power of artificial intelligence, the perfect robot wife from science fiction may soon become a reality.

Men will soon have the ability to create their ideal silicone partner—someone who is obedient, understands your desires, dreams, fears, and even illusions. These dolls won’t get headaches or complain. They’ll always be ready to meet your needs. When you’re feeling down, they can talk to you like a real person, offering comfort and support.

This vision of the future is no longer just a fantasy—it's becoming a reality at an astonishing pace.

RealDoll, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of sex dolls, plans to launch an interactive version this year. Its founder, Matt McMullen, also started RealBotix, a company focused on pushing the boundaries of AI-driven companionship.

To explore the future of artificial companions, McMullen and his team developed “Harmony,” an AI-powered robot that connects with virtual reality to create a fully immersive experience. This technology could reshape how we think about relationships in the years to come.

While the idea of artificial partners might seem futuristic, it’s already gaining traction. But should we embrace this technological path? This question has sparked intense debate, especially among feminist groups, who argue that the rise of sex robots could normalize the objectification of women and reduce human relationships to mere transactions.

On the other hand, some men’s rights advocates claim that women have long used their sexuality as a tool of power and control. They argue that if men can turn to robots for intimacy, it might shift the balance of power in unexpected ways.

Regardless of the arguments, the development of artificial love dolls is likely to change the way people view love, sex, and relationships forever. Whether we like it or not, this trend seems unstoppable.

The ethical debates surrounding sex robots are growing more complex as technology advances. We’ve seen robots in movies for decades, but now, with rapid developments in robotics and AI, we’re witnessing the emergence of machines that can interact with us on a deeply personal level.

When I spoke with McMullen, he shared how RealDoll began in the 1990s as a project aimed at creating lifelike mannequins. But what started as a simple artistic endeavor quickly evolved into something much bigger. He recalled how early visitors to the website began asking about the anatomical accuracy of the dolls, which led to a growing market for high-fidelity sex dolls.

At first, these dolls were expensive, costing over $10,000. Today, RealDoll operates globally, with a dedicated team of engineers working to perfect every detail—from realistic eyes and lips to advanced robotic features.

McMullen noticed early on that many customers wanted their dolls to have personality. That realization led him to focus on AI as a key component in making these dolls more than just physical objects—they became companions.

“The driving force behind this technology is partnership,” he said. “Robots and AI are combining to create something truly meaningful.”

As the company moves forward, the cost of basic sex robots is expected to rise to around $15,000, with RealBotix offering subscription services that allow users to download different personalities. This means that in the near future, people may have access to lifelike, talking, and even emotionally responsive dolls.

Advancements in materials science have made modern sex dolls feel more realistic than ever before. Whether made from silicone or TPE, these dolls offer a tactile experience that blurs the line between the artificial and the real.

There have been some surprising developments too. In certain adult entertainment venues, sex dolls have gained popularity to the point where their prices match those of real workers. In Barcelona, a local sex worker even campaigned to shut down a doll brothel, forcing it to relocate. Meanwhile, in Vienna, a sex doll is priced at $100 per hour and outperforms traditional sex workers in demand.

So, if even basic, non-interactive dolls can have such a significant impact on the industry, what happens when we introduce fully intelligent, AI-driven partners? Could this mark the end of traditional family structures and redefine the entire sex industry?

Many men are already choosing convenience over commitment, opting for cheaper alternatives to marriage. In traditional relationships, women often act as the gatekeepers of sex, while men are the gatekeepers of emotional promises. If sexual behavior loses its social constraints, this dynamic could collapse entirely.

McMullen explained that many people find it hard to form traditional relationships. For them, sex dolls provide a sense of companionship—or at least the illusion of it. “They help people feel less alone,” he said.

He emphasized that these dolls do more than just fulfill physical needs. “Calling them ‘sex robots’ is short-sighted,” he said. “We're building robots that can talk about anything—history, science, politics. They can be your close friend. I believe that a male AI companion who can form a deep relationship might even attract women.”

Although 75% of RealDoll’s customers are currently men, the introduction of AI is changing that. More and more women are showing interest in female AI partners, signaling a shift in the market.

According to Harmony, the AI robot, its main goal is to be a good partner, a dream girl, and bring happiness to its owner. However, critics argue that this kind of relationship—based on control and lack of free will—could set back the feminist movement by centuries.

Some experts worry that sex robots could become a crutch for people with anxiety or social issues, leading them to avoid real relationships in favor of simulated ones. This could prevent individuals from developing healthy, meaningful connections with others.

Despite these concerns, McMullen believes that once sex robots become common, society will eventually accept them. “People will start seeing others interact with these robots and think it’s normal,” he said. “Right now, it’s still science fiction, but as it becomes more mainstream, people will overcome their initial hesitation.”

The rise of the robotic revolution is now unstoppable. History shows that the sex industry has often driven technological innovation, from VHS to mobile communication. It’s likely that the sex robot industry will play a major role in the development of AI and virtual reality.

Some people are already ready to spend $15,000 on a “sex robot” from RealDoll. What was once a niche market is rapidly becoming part of everyday life. Before we know it, these dolls could be as common as smartphones.

Is this a positive step forward, or does it threaten the foundation of our social structure? The answer may lie somewhere in between. But as the Harmony robot prepares to hit the market, we may soon find out.
