The Ethics of Sex Robots in a Digital World

A multimedia project by Ben Coley

The Ethics of Sex Robots in a Digital World is a project by third year Multimedia Journalism student Ben Coley.


Are sex robots simply harmless toys for the curious, or do they pose much more serious and wider cultural issues? The Ethics of Sex Robots in a Digital World assesses whether sex robots are morally justifiable and looks towards future landscape of the 21st century sex robot phenomenon.

THE PORN PERSPECTIVE: Part II

Updated: Dec 10, 2018



"It [sex with a robot] could be legal rape. It's hard to say but she cannot say no, she cannot move. It's legal rape."

For part two of The Porn Perspective I spoke to Dorian Del Isla - a Spanish male adult film performer who is the first male porn star to have had sex with a sex robot as part of a porn movie.


The 28 minute movie, which featured adult performers Dorian Del Isla and Sofie Curly, was a collaborative project between studio producers 'Private' and a sex robot brothel company 'Lumidolls'. The movie is considered the first in the world to combine human and robot sex on screen.


Dorian Del Isla spoke about his experiences in the film, and shared his personal ethical stance on sex robots:



 

"The beginning of the end"


Dorian Del Isla said that the experience of engaging in sexual activity with a sex robot bears little relation to having sex with a human female. Dorian Del Isla stated that if people turn to sex robots instead of humans it will be the "beginning of the end."




 

"My industry will not be affected in the future."


When asked the question whether people will turn to sex robots for masturbation instead of porn Dorian Del Isla replied by saying that a sex robot is not enough to get an individual aroused in the same way that porn can achieve such things. Dorian elaborated by acknowledging the multi-billion dollar annual turnover that the porn industry makes, and that sex robots offer a new part of the industry. Dorian summated his argument when he said: "You can watch porn with your wife and it's better for your sex life, so why wouldn't you watch porn with your sex doll?




 

To summarise:


Supposedly the experience of having sex with a robot is not similar to sexual intimacy between humans. Sex robots could be seen as a form of legal rape. They may well play a part in the porn industry but is doubtful that they will be detrimental to the future jobs of adult performers.
