Yet in many countries cartoon imagery of under 16s for sexual purposes is illegal. The UK is in this list, pretty sure most western countries are too.
So for those with particular tastes will robotics provide an answer? Its a legal minefield for sure.

There was a case here a few years ago where I live where the police found child porn on some guy's computer but he couldn't be prosecuted since it was all animated.
I think that robotic devices, however life-like, would be seen as nothing more than sophisticated vibrators and unit massagers.

Is that a federal law pr state law that alllows this then? Of course by extension child like robots would also be legal. In the UK cartonns are not legal, so robotic children would also not be.
Of course you have to ask the question, if robots provide an outlet for their desires do they protect children so regardless of the questionable taste of the things should they be allowed (and the same goes therefore for animated child porn)?

The US has some odd laws sometimes, at least odd to a European, where we expect tougher laws on decent behaviour.

In this case, it's more of a case that the current law didn't cover that situation. The laws sometimes are too specific. But then again, that's a probably a good thing. Wouldn't want some bureaucrat suddenly deciding on a whim that something one has been doing for years without issue is suddenly illegal because some law is overbroad and the bureaucrat's knickers are stuck up his arse.

Odd, just looked it up and it is quite specific "any visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct involving a minor (someone under 18 years of age). Visual depictions include photographs, videos, digital or computer generated images indistinguishable from an actual minor, and images created, adapted, or modified, but appear to depict an identifiable, actual minor. " in not including cartoon images.
Weird. Perhaps its done to protect paintings such as this: Two Adolescents by Salvador Dali | Oil Painting Reproduction[^]

My initial thought was "well, at least put them in private booths".
But then I thought again... No. Don't. Please don't...

Well - it must be some sort of Asian cultural thing. It's the natural extension of This [^] (also from the Far East) and the obvious next generation is (KSS safe rules would be violated).

It's sad how love has come to mean lust.

Japan is very strange sometimes (at least by Western standards).
I know a few Japanese people from IPFW, and they think things like this are strange as well, so not everyone there is like that (thank goodness!).

I do recall, quite some years ago, that THE most popular adult comic book featured The Rapeman - Wikipedia[^]
I like watching old B&W Samurai movies - but the days with the importance of 'honor' and such seem to becoming the very distant past, indeed.

Yeah, it was tongue in cheek, wives also do the washing and ironing!
Its a tricky thing. Human kids take a long time to grow to adulthood. During that time they are of course dependent and it is a two person job, which ever way it is divided, to bring up kids, but, it is not natural for a man to stay with one woman, any more than it is for an ape to do the same. We arent birds, we have different motivations.
So perhaps we should have kids bought up by the state, perhaps with quotas of births, produced from egg and sperm donors, and paid for, and supported to adult hood, by general taxation.
It is at least a fair system, with every child getting the same start in life. And given the birth rates of many European countries is well below maintenance levels something that might have to be considered.
Of course Huxley foresaw this in Brave New World. A good read, if more extreme than what I am proposing.
