Nina Power wrote a long blog post once about how, given the choice, a man will always choose to have sex with a robot and a woman will always choose to have sex with a chimpanzee.
Because they would be more comfortable objectifying these things sexually? As in, raping a robot isn’t really rape?

“Robot” etymologically means slave, which is interesting here.

What about the hologram lover in Bladrunner 2049? That would seem more feasible, albeit only if interest to those seeking companionship in the abstract rather than in the physical.

I might go the route of that other character in the original bladerunner story, who lived with a couple experimental synthetics, don't know his name. But ultimately I think I'd just prefer to have natural humans around.
