“Despite the emergence of machines designed to induce sexual arousal and the potential for such machines to influence our sexual decision-making processes, sexual No researchers have examined how 'artificial partners' affect decision-making about sexuality,' said Simon Dube, who studies sexuality and technology at Concordia University in Canada.

Mr. Dube is known as a pioneer in this field who proposed the concept of `` erobot '', which is a concept that encompasses eroticism (eros), programs (bot), and robots (robot), at a French academic conference in 2019.

In order to explore the willingness to establish intimate relationships with robots and how it is affected by sexual arousal, Dube et al. I made it All participants were fluent in English and had seen pornography.

The survey was conducted online in two parts. First, a questionnaire was asked about the participants themselves and their willingness to have a sexual relationship with the robot. Then, one week later, we conducted another survey, let the participants watch the pornographic video for 10 minutes, and then asked them to answer the same questionnaire as before.



As a result, it was found that people who were sexually aroused by watching pornography tended to respond to the questionnaire that they were more willing to have sex with a robot. On the other hand, the likelihood of liking robots did not change before and after viewing the porn video.

Also, men tended to be more motivated to have sex with robots after watching pornography than women, but there was no gender difference in falling in love with or befriending robots. I didn't see it.

The research team notes that most of the participants in the experiment are highly educated Caucasians and that self-reported scales that are susceptible to bias are used.

In addition, Dr. Dube et al. commented on the results of this study, ``This innovative study well evaluated participants' sexual arousal and attractiveness , and found that state factors such as sexual arousal were associated with artificial partners, such as robots. For the first time, it has been quantitatively proven that it influences people's desire for erotic companionship.'
