I've come to the conclusion in my 40's that men and women really don't get along, despite all the cultural propaganda to the contrary. After all, evolution shaped men and women to pursue conflicting reproductive strategies.

In fact, if sex robots come along that provide sufficiently satisfactory experiences, it wouldn't surprise me that men and women will adopt them and naturally tend to segregate. An article in The Futurist magazine a few years ago about sexbots speculated that we'd see the emergence of a culture of "technovirgins," that is, people who couple exclusively with machines and have no desire to seek out biological partners.

Sexbots for men seem to offer many advantages over real sex partners. A sexbot can't get pregnant give you an STD; sue you for child support; play mind games with you about its weight (unless you're masochistic enough to program it do so!), accuse you of date rape, stalking or sexual harassment; or announce after marrying you that it has changed its sexual orientation and now prefers female partners.
