Look at what me and Trots and even Liri have said again. We should be encouraging meaningful and equal relationships between people as the building blocks of society, this does the exact opposite.
This is a value based stance, based on what you want your society to look like. If you're pro some sort of Silicon Valley transhumanist hypercapitalist atomisation I don't expect you to give it much credence.
Meaningful relationships start with the parents being able to teach kids how to relate to other people, and to machiens.
How are sex robots going to change parenting in the future to the point where meaningful and equal relationships are not encouraged by parents as a social mechanism of success?

Why worry about a human partner when you can have an extremely lifelike surrogate that never talks back? Many people won't.

It turns out most people would like more than quick on-demand orgasms from their relationships.

To be fair, there is a big difference between, well, manual release that is done by one's self and having something that is perfectly able to mimic a partner.
Honestly, once you get into effective AI, artificial eggs, and artificial wombs, these things can completely replace human relationships.

Really big conversations. Like whether they get the right to vote, and how do you handle rights for a consciousness that can self replicate in minutes instead of decades.

Pretty much this. There's a massive difference.

It's not a hypothetical when such is actually occurring, and will be a question going forward. Why kick the can down the road, or stick one's hand in the sand? We're not out of Oil yet, but such will come one day as an example.
