Therapeutic Sex Dolls and Sex Robots

The viewpoints of clinicians can also be differing. Therapists, who base their opinions on the first case studies describe how the experience of living with a sex doll (as people who own dolls tend to refer to them) can be an effective and healing process for a transition after traumatizing experiences, particularly when they are accompanied by professional therapeutic treatment.

Other authors in the field of clinical medicine warn their colleagues about the fact that products of the sex robotics sector are advertised with claims about health which are bogus. There is a lot of debate regarding cheap sex dolls that are made in Asia and sold all over the world. Some ethicists and psychologists believe that pedophiles might use these robots or dolls as substitutes to deter them from engaging in real child sexual abuse, and that their therapeutic use could be positive.

Others, including therapists and ethicists, completely oppose this notion and advise that cheap sex doll and robots pose a serious risk since they promote normalization and encourage sexual abuse of children, both pedophilic and non-pedophilic people as well as the general public. Legally enforceable bans on child sex robots and dolls aren't just a matter of campaigning (Campaign against sexually explicit robots) and, in a few countries, they are also in the process of being implemented or are in place (eg the Curbing Realistic Exploitative Electronics Robots Act of 2017--CREEPER Act of 2017, for short in the United States).

There are also conflicting perspectives evident in the clinical, ethical as well as legal discussions. Do sex toys and robots of all types be considered as therapeutic devices within the context of various sexual diseases? Perhaps, at a minimum, some of them be prosecuted in the immediate future, with a result that new types of teen sex doll and robot-related sexual indiscretions have been created and need to be investigated?
