Sex robots should be aimed at the elderly, according to an academic.
Sex Robot
Professor Nancy Jecker has suggested that saucy cyborgs should appeal to senior citizens as part of her bizarre new study.
Jecker, a professor of bio-ethics and humanities at the University of Washington, argues that current sex robots are currently discriminatory as they are aimed towards a younger white male demographic in a piece entitled 'Nothing to Be Ashamed Of: Sex Robots for Older Adults and Disabilities'. She believes that targeting the elderly can help fight "impaired sexual functioning'.
She said: I'm calling on the industry to market themselves to an older clientele, a clientele that has age-related impairment of sexual function."
