LONDON — Harriet Sugarcookie, founder of HarrietSugarcookie.com, recently created a new infographic for her readers in order to better understand the future of sex robots — specifically, men's greatest fears about them.
Based on a public survey of over 500 men of varying ages in the U.S., Canada, U.K. and Australia, Sugarcookie compiled the responses to her latest query, 'What scares you most about future sex with robots?'
"Everyone's obsessed with sex robots right now," Sugarcookie wrote in her latest online visual composition, “Top Fears-AI Sex Robots.” "They're not without risks, some current and some predicted in sci-fi … with that in mind we asked men what their biggest sex robot fears were."
Some of men's fears were “hacking and data privacy,” “theft” and “hygiene,” while others were more psychologically perplexing: “I'm afraid she would cheat on me,” 'I'm scared I will fall in love with her” (a full 10 percent of men polled cite this as their biggest fear); “I'm afraid she would rebel and hurt me or others” (24 percent).
The number one fear at 26 percent was, “I'm afraid she could be unhappy.” Of this particular phobia, Sugarcookie added, "It's the sweetest possible thing to be afraid of. It's fascinating that so many people care so much about a machine's well-being."
