There are so many sexual orientations out there, from heterosexual to transsexual, homosexual to bisexual, and the list goes on. One that has joined the list thanks to the introduction of sex dolls and sex robots is what is known as Robosexual. Just as the name suggests, it simply means people who are sexually attracted to robots for one reason or the other.
One of such is a Chinese man, Zheng Jiajia who is now married to a robot as he couldn’t find for himself a human spouse. The engineer who is in his early to mid-30s is said to be an artificial intelligence expert. He specializes in designing and making robots in Hangzhuo, Zhejiang province.
With a population of 1.3 billion, China has more men than women by as much as 33.5 million. What this means is that there are many men like Zheng Jiajia who are struggling to find a life partner amidst the pressure from the society on them to get married. It is to solve this issue and also that he is robosexual that he decided to end up with his robot, Yingying as a wife.
Yingying can identify Chinese characters and even speak some words while “her” husband is working on upgrading her with all the features needed to make her a dream wife.
The Chinese man got married to his robot wife in a traditional Chinese wedding ritual which was attended by his mother and friends.

In Japan which is where you find as much as 40% robots in the world, there are people who are already arguing that robots have souls.
