Abstract

In this article, I analyse the philosophical argument promoting the prohibition of human-robot sexual interactions, highlighting weak analogies and equivalences that support this stance. Scholars offer diverse perspectives on the desirability of such interactions, but I focus on identifying the logically weak arguments behind the reluctance in philosophical circles. I advocate for a shift toward experimental research, and for a constructive approach that includes diverse perspectives.
