In addition to being generally awesome, turns out sex is pretty great. Frequent (safe) sex can help reduce the risks of heart attack, stroke, hypertension, depression, etc. etc., and if you’re doing it often enough, you can even live about 8 years longer. But the recommended frequency for adding those years can be something of a chore, since achieving 350-700 orgasms per year is probably only average for young guys and certain film stars. The good news? The sexbots are coming.

In addition to the benefits DNews lists and the probability of lowered STD transmission, there are also political reasons sexbots might be a good idea: sex robots could reduce human trafficking, a dirty underground business that affects (a conservatively estimated) 2.5 million people worldwide.

So what say you, Geeks? Is robot sex just too weird, or should we take the pros and cons of android lovin’ a little more seriously?
