"Sex robots are absolutely inevitable. In fact, they already exist,"

AOL bring us the vital news that:

'Human prostitutes could be a thing of the past by 2050, as more and more robots get pimped into prostitution.

That's the future envisioned by Michelle Mars and Ian Yeoman at Victoria University of Wellington, who have released a report suggesting that lifelike robots will be coming to a brothel near you.

Mars and Yeoman see lots of advantages to having "hoe-bots" doing the dirty work instead of humans, such as "commercial sex robots would be free of disease and would reduce the trafficking of real people," they told The Week.

Despite the fact that these hard-wired whores will suck up electricity as opposed to, er, never mind, the raunchy robot researchers say the idea isn't that shocking.

"Sex robots are absolutely inevitable. In fact, they already exist," Mars told Business Insider. "Society has had relationships with machines and we continue to have increasingly intimate relationships with more and more sophisticated technologies."

For instance, there is "Roxxxy," an interactive doll costing between $7,000 to $9,000 that was unveiled at an adult entertainment expo in 2010, and, according to MSNBC.com, can be programmed with different personalities such as frigid Farrah and wild Wendy.'
