This porn robot is symptomatic, it's not the disease.
Take a look at the slate article. Peruse google and take a look at the social structure of young Japanese citizens.
If that were what we were facing in the states, I know I'd be damn alarmed.
I read a book called "Bowling Alone" years back that talked about this sort of thing in the states and most of it was fairly prophetic.
It's also peanuts compared to what we're seeing in Japan. This really is the kind of thing that could lead to the gradual disintegration of an entire nation of people (nation in lower case, not from a geo-political standpoint).
