Thanks for posting this here where I can reply.
Quite a few years ago I pondered the potential changes in the economy due to the advent of robotics. This came to the forefront of my thoughts when I was working at a large warehouse of an international company that also had government contracts. This large company was using employees to do everything and I highly suspected they were considering robotics like Amazon was beginning to use so effectively at that time.
These thoughts evolved to the point that I concluded that eventually, the only available career for a real-life human being would be in the sex industry. If people back in the 80s were willing to risk AIDS by refusing a condom because they wanted the "real feel", then that would indicate a high premium for real flesh in a robotic future.
If my assumptions were correct, I went on to theorize that it would only be the wealthiest who could afford the "real feel". Then this thought progressed into the dark area of subculture kinks and then the obvious, torture and thrill killing. No need for a snuff film when you can afford the "real feel" now that the "human product" has an accepted role in in this dystopian society.
I am beginning to believe that we have already reached that point without the complete take over of robotic technology. Flesh peddling is nothing new, so I shouldn't be surprised I guess.
