A New York University professor thinks we need to prioritize sex education for young men—because of the rise of “AI sex bots.” Scott Galloway advocated for schools to start teaching young men “mating dynamics” to help preserve their ability to seek and build meaningful relationships with romantic partners. The marketing professor warned that digital facsimiles of real-life connections are also robbing men of the opportunity to improve other key social skills.
“We are developing these digital analogs of life that create low-entry, low-risk relationships. You think that’s not a bad thing, well it is because it leads to loneliness and depression,” Galloway said. “Fewer and fewer men are engaging in those risks, and I think AI and the combination with sex bots is going to create an industry where men start having relationships with algorithms and dolls,” he said. He also urged young men to think of the abundance of time on their hands as money—and to reconsider how they “invest” the scores of hours each week spent between “Twitter, TikTok, and porn.”
