Prof Noel Sharkey, chairman of the Foundation for Responsible Robotics, said guilt-free threesomes was just one of the potential uses for sex robots, which cost from about £4,000 to £12,000.

It’s thought many lonely humans looking for love will spend the eye-watering amount of cash in the hope of developing both a physical and emotional attachment to the robot.
Founder Matt McMullen said: “I want to have people actually develop an emotional attachment to not only the robot but the actual character behind it – to develop some kind of love for this being.”
But some experts are warning we’ll need to be careful we don’t get addicted to artificial intelligence love making.
Futurologist Dr Ian Pearson believes women will be ditching men for robots when they want to get frisky in ten years’ time… and could ever start falling in love with the machines.

Will there be robot sex doll brothels?

Top scientists believe a robot sex doll brothel would be an efficient way of combating the spread of sexually transmitted infections and reduce people trafficking.
Such a brothel was put forward in a paper looking at what Amsterdam could look like by 2050, with the writers claiming: “human sex workers will be put out of business, unable to complete on price and quality of service.”
The first non-robot sex doll brothel has already opened, in Barcelona, offering punters the chance to liaise with a hyper-realistic silicone partner of their choice.

By the end of the year, clones of Harmony will be available to buy across the globe for the princely sum of £11,700.
