Versus say taking cutting edge robotics technology and making stuff that kills people.
Weapons research is equally vile, it is also a differnt discussion. This is about sexual gratification.
What ill effect do you see it having on society? If none, then your argument basically comes down to "ick!", which is not a good argument.

Can you more clearly articulate why you think this (the sex thing) is vile? What ill effect do you see it having on society? If none, then your argument basically comes down to "ick!", which is not a good argument.
I understand people crave sexual gratification, that's human nature, but I think products like this will only serve to compound the problem, make more people who feel this way look inward and ultimately more unfulfilled and lonely.

Technology tends to reflect its creators, but it's not as dystopian as you're making it out to be. For example, demand for broadband internet access was largely driven by a desire for access to porn.
