More people would have a threesome with a ROBOT than invite a person over for sex, study reveals

A SURVEY revealed that more people would prefer to have a threesome with a robot than invite another person over for sex.

The results showed two in five people said they were open to the idea of having sex with a robot.

The survey was conducted by SexualAlpha, which freely admitted that their sample size of 3,292 people was small. 

However, it does suggest that some people are fairly open-minded to the idea of having relations with sex bots.

In fact more people prefer to be intimate with a sex bot (37.5 percent) instead of having casual sex with a human lover (30.1 percent).

“Yes, the sample size is small. And before taking this survey, people needed to indicate they are okay with being asked sensitive kinds of questions (a requirement for all sex-related questionnaires), which means that pool of people isn’t exactly random,” SexualAlpha wrote alongside the survey results.

“However, it shows interesting trends on how people’s attitude is changing against sex robots and new technology.”

One question on the survey asked: “Assume you had no romantic attachments and desired some kind of sexual activity.

“Select which one of the following actives you would be likely to pursue (you may choose more than one option.)”

The two options with the highest votes were masturbation with a sex toy (42.5 percent) and masturbating manually (49.2 percent).

When it comes to couples, nearly half of people surveyed (41.9 percent) said they would agree or strongly agree to including a sex bot in a threesome if the opportunity came up.

Probably the most surprising revelation from the survey was that 15.5 percent of participants admitted to either owning or having previous sexual relations with a robot.

The full survey from SexualAlpha, along with their methodology, can be found on its website.
