2050 for robot prostitutes? I was hoping that it would come sooner but at least I will most likely be alive so I can fulfill my dream of becoming a robo-pimp.

I thought this was hard to believe.
Something has definitely gone wrong in Japan.More surprising was the news that in a separate survey by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare published by the Japan Family Planning Association that 36.1 percent of Japanese males, aged 16 to 19, had no interest in sex whatsoever -- up from a 2008 record of 17.5 percent.
I'll go in your memory. I watched toonami back in my youth. I can communicate with them. I'll make silly faces and wave my arms a lot.
To the land of the lost!
I'm going to go full Mormon, marry eight Japanese models and settle them back in God's green America.

Laugh it out, but I see a real opportunity here. Somethinged up in Japan, we might as well take the shot ala Lord Baal, A bit of Latino charm.
Unfortunately, the fact that it's an ass overshadows the remarkable achievement of a responsive synthetic nervous system....

Better then the muscle implants which are painful and disgusting.
Leave it to the modder to perfect the works of the paid developers for no profit at all.
Japan is taking it very seriously. I suspect they will adapt somehow, but just as in the West where porn is so prevalent, porn in Japan and other factors are really causing problems. Also surely adding to already high suicide numbers that are traditionally thought to be a result of the ultra competitive society.
The whole feminization thing is this - Herbivore men. Japanese women put a lot of stock in a certain amount of manliness and assertiveness. Unfortunately, Western men usually demonstrate too much of that for their tastes. And then there is the issue of dating Japanese women, where your nationality can actually divide a family. You will usually find support in the family for the relationship, but not from all.
Again, I'm just relating info from people who I know, who live there. Ive taken great interest after learning this stuff. It's such an odd, yet beautiful soiciety, that can also be flat out ugly and depressing. Anyways, Japan is at the very top of my list of places to visit next.
I know this guy who has a good youtube blog:
maid cafes, crazy
rent a boyfriend

Maybe these robo-buttocks would work well with this?

That is what happening in whole East Asia now, not just Japan; I have seen Taiwan and Korea in same trace now.
Nope, that is just a male host club/bar, which you can see that in big cities of US too. However, there do have service of renting boyfriends, not kidding.
Well you can find Japanese maid bars in the US, but they are nothing more than an oddity. Escorts have always existed, but they do not have the cultural significance that they do in Japan, and they very rarely involve sex.
As for Asia going this route, they are taking their cues from Japan. The whole Kpop/Jpop (Korean pop music that is now basically emulating Japanese pop music) is the best example. But it doesn't stop with music.

It's part of Japanese culture. Here it is just a few maid cafes that some idiot will visit once just for the hell of it. I might even be tempted to go if there were actual Japanese chicks making odd squeals and undeniably cute gestures with their hands. I think watching Asian Americans do that would just be strange.

It's just a step along the way to the T-1001.
Japanese anime is just a visible cultural expression of a rich internal life; the problem is keeping it separate from Real Life, which is probably what's happening in Japan right now, exasperated by their current economic malaise and adjusting expectations in the struggle between traditional values and personal existential crisis, the individual, family and society. This increased introspectiveness is might also be due to their repressed international role imposed on the country by being one of the losers in WW2, and being both attracted and repelled by Western culture.
Eats, shoots, and leaves.
Elizabeth: Hmmm.
Me: What!!?? What did you see??? Is it money? I need money! Is it something else?? TALK TO ME LIZ!!!
I feel the same way. Though I hate cute. The only cute I like are small children and animals. Not exactly something I'm going to be looking for as a characteristic in adult human beings. I mean I'm not going to hate someone for being cutesy when appropriate, but honestly it's like some kind of perverse pedophile culture. Not like literally, but like the inappropriate childishness of it.
I'm all for freedom of expression in how people dress (and my right to resent people for it) but Japan is just weird at this point.
Japan should stop being cute and start being sexy. Like not in a trashy way, but like sexy. Like film noire, and retro-futurism and Streamline Moderne translated into a society (how it pains me to use French to describe uniquely American style). Only like somehow uniquely Japanese as to not screw up the cultural revolution I'm plotting over here in America. Something so irresistible it takes subcultures out to the shed and savagely beats them until they develop Stockholm syndrome.
Japan needs to be like a Quentin Tarantino soundtrack. A blend of American nostalgia and Japanese romanticism.![]()

The thread title reminded me of "Life of Brian" which made me giggle. Carry on.
