The sex technology market has already reached $ 30 billion (about 3.3 trillion yen), and its market size is expected to further expand by sex robots in the future. The sex robot is mainly for men who imitate women, but in the latter half of 2018 a male model targeting women is also expected to appear.

Manufacturers claim that sex robots with expanded market size have the following advantages.

·safety
Assertion that pseudo sex with sex robot reduces prostitution and is "safe" in terms of lowering the risk of sexually transmitted diseases.

· Suppression of sexual offense
The claim that the sex robot is present raises the desire for sexual violence against women and children and sexual crime is suppressed.

·Health Promotion
Assertion that a healthy life can be realized by satisfying the sexual desire of a single person without a partner. This "health" also includes the advantage that it can be used for the treatment of men who suffer from erectile dysfunction.

· Orthodontics of pedophiles
Advantages of correcting pedophiles and their tendencies to satisfy sexual desire.

While there are people who appeal to the social significance of sex robots with various merits, there is also a counterargument to these opinions. For example, with regard to deterrence of sexual offenses and correction of pedophiles, there is a possibility that abuse of sexual criminals as sexual desires rather than satisfaction of sexual desires, or a tool to justify sexual acts deviating from social norms There is a truth opposite opinion that it might be possible. It is also not clear whether sex robots will meet the same needs as human sex and become substitutes for prostitution. Regarding the therapeutic value of promoting health as well, even if we could imitate physical sexual intercourse by a sex robot, as a result of moving away from contact with humans, there is no guarantee that pain will not occur any more.

The attractiveness of the promising sex robot market in the future and medical treatment are completely unrelated, medical experts ring the alarm bells that evidence without evidence to be propagated by sex robot makers is harmful.
