What about the Kantian view?
Kant believed that animals were not sentient in the same way as man and therefore did not deserve the same moral valuation. Yet, he also believed that we should not harm animals, because if you harm a creature that you can feel empathy for, you’re damaging your innate ability to care about others.
Should a similar argument apply to sex robots?

What if the sentient robot is programmed to have sex with me and if it’s denied sex it caused it great distress?
