Does using a sex robot count as cheating?

Having sex with someone else other than your partner is considered cheating – but what if it was sex with a robot?

According to a shocking new study, a massive 40 per cent of Brits don’t consider sex with a robot as cheating.

The survey was commissioned by UK online streaming service Now TV, in conjunction with its futuristic TV show Westworld.

Results of the survey found that more than one in three people in the UK would consider having sex with a robot.

But one in three also said they would be ‘horrified’ if one of their friends was in a relationship with a robot.

The survey comes just after Lumidolls – a company that makes sex dolls – announced plans to open a sex doll brothel.
