The idea that sex with machines is bad sprouts from the notion that sex has to have a para-purpose, that sex for its own sake is bad. I don't really believe in concepts such as "inherent evil" - Foucault would laugh at those, and I can't stand being laughed at. People are typically reluctant to extend their psyche (myself very much included), and since most people in our culture grew up with the notion of sex not being complete without love, it might very well be that we will feel that such sex is incomplete. If we grew up with notions that sex is good for its own sake, than this would hardly be the case.
