Sex Bot

I have to keep reminding myself, at one time, the sun never set on the British Empire. These days the British seem to be consumed with sex bots. This story has been reported by the BBC.

British psychologists fear that boffing a sex bot may contribute to mental illness. My question is this: How can one tell the difference? On the one hand, an individual resorts to screwing a silicone doll. Can you say inadequate personality? Is there really a distinction in crazy, after engaging in plain and fancy trick fucking with a piece of rubber?
