Fighting sex crime

Robot BROTHELS could be opening soon: Cyborg prostitutes will cut STIs and trafficking, says expert

The idea of having sex with a robot might seem more like something out of a science fiction film.

But one in five of us are now open to the idea, according to new research. 

Now, one academic claims droids could also lead to changes in the sex industry, replacing prostitutes to help stamp out sexual slavery and trafficking.

Dr John Danaher, a lecturer in business at NUI Galway believes that sex robots could be a good substitute for human prostitutes.

He told the Daily Star: 'The cyborgs can cater for desire for sexual variety, freedom from constraint and complication and fear of lack of sexual success.

'Technology may become better at developing emotional bonds with their clients.
