Jessica Szczuka, from the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany, co-authored research which focused on what is likely to influence men as to whether to buy a sex robots.

However, she added that that number might actually be higher in reality as participants might have lied.
Speaking at the Love and Sex With Robots congress at Goldsmiths University in London, she
quipped: "If people have the guts to say 'yeah I could imagine that', thats a good sign".
Ms Szczuka also believes that as people become more familiar with robots, that number "will double over time".
While just under half of men could imagine buying a sex robot within five years, more than two thirds of males could imagine using them.
Ms Szczuka said that the most likely people to use one will be socially anxious people.
She said: "Someone with a fear of rejection could control the robot because the robot would never reject them."
