I think the disruptions will be more drastic than implied in the article, though--why have both a human and a robot sex partner, when a robot partner could much more easily fulfill all your fantasies, be ready and willing at all times, have an appearance to your exacting specifications, share your interests more closely, and come with none of the baggage of a human sex partner? I also think the same drastic change will come to friendships.
