The market for sex robots is on the rise with the development of human-computer interaction. However, most sex robots on the market are presented as male-friendly products. This issue may limit and hinder females' adoption and utilization of sex robots. This paper was to take females as the research subjects exploring and verifying several concerns based on previous theories and to conduct primary research and quantitative method to investigate: (i) how females differently perceive same-gender and heterogender sex robots; (ii) their attitudes and the knowledge or definition of sex robots; and (iii) their intention of adopting heterogender robots. This study confirmed several previous theories and provided new findings and insights. Females are more likely to feel threatened by the presence of same-gender sex robots. Their negative attitudes are related to the way that sex robots exist. They are jealous of same-gender sex robots; nevertheless, this should not be attributed to their negative perception of sex robots since they also have positive perceptions and intentions to adopt a sex robot. They define sex robots more as sexual products than as engaging in the prostitution industry.
随着人机交互技术的发展，性爱机器人市场正在兴起。然而，市场上的大多数性爱机器人都被呈现为对男性友好的产品。这个问题可能会限制和阻碍女性对性爱机器人的接受和使用。本文以女性为研究对象，基于以往理论探索并验证了几个问题，并采用初步研究和定量方法进行调查：（i）女性如何不同地看待同性和异性性爱机器人；（ii）她们对性爱机器人的态度以及相关知识或定义；（iii）她们采用异性机器人的意愿。本研究证实了先前的几个理论，并提供了新的发现和见解。女性更容易因同性性爱机器人的存在而感到受到威胁。她们的消极态度与性爱机器人的存在方式有关。她们会嫉妒同性性爱机器人；然而，这不应归因于她们对性爱机器人的负面看法，因为她们也有积极的看法和采用性爱机器人的意愿。她们更多地将性爱机器人定义为性产品，而非从事卖淫行业的物品。
