Leading ‘MGTOW’ (‘men go their own way) YouTuber ‘Sandman’ discusses why we still do not have realistic sex robots.

From what we’ve seen in recent weeks of the near finished product that is Harmony, it seems fair to say that creator Matt McMullen’s claim that her sexbot rivals are mere ‘toys’ in comparison is not mere hubris.

‘The Sex Robots Are Coming’ screened last night on UK terrestrial ‘channel 4’ and I have to say, it was on the whole rather good.
