Without it the whole sentence could have a different meaning.

I think people will have no problem emotionally bonding with sexbots. Remember Tamagochi? And robot pets have been found to be quite therapeutic for shut-ins and seniors.
As for a market – there are several million (soon to be) middle class, only child, mainland Chinese men, of marriageable age, in need of wives they can’t have because of the endemic shortage of women due to the practice of female infanticide. I think there will be at least one excellent market for surrogate partners of all sorts in all price brackets.
Funny how our new technologies mostly seem to get used either for fighting or fucking or both.

Where did I read/see a skit about a father finding out his son has been shagging a robot, and cutting to an educational spiel about how robot sex once destroyed civilisation?

I believe the second of (

Robots do not want to have sex with you. Are you listening, Japan? I don’t have a clever comparative simile for this, because frankly you bags of meat will fuck bicycles if they’re laying down and not putting up a fight. Just stop it. There is no robot on Earth that wants to see a bag of meat with a small prong on the end approaching it with a can of WD-40 and a hopeful smile. And don’t get me started on that terrifying hole that squeezes out more bags of meat.

I believe if you program the robot to drop everything and jump on your cock when you press "fuck" button, it will drop everything and jump on your cock when you press "fuck" button.
Unless you want to go the "My Windows is conspiring against me!" way.
