I'm thinking more of the movie iRobot where robots could be hacked en masse. In Ex Machina, the robot wasn't hacked, it chose its own path (an equally terrifying possibility).

Lot's of movie references here, but I'm surprised nobody mentioned the classic Bladerunner, with the murderous female replicants? Maybe average techspot reader is too young to know it, I don't know.
Also why worry about sex robots causing harm to some males, doesn't the average human female cause much more emotional/psychological damage to the average male on a daily basis than any robot ever could?

There is also quite a good recent Swedish series called "Real Humans" which shows a near future where humanoid "household" robots (HuBots) can be just bought off the shelf. Of course these robots can also be programmed for more... entertaining purposes. Deals in interesting ways with ethical problems we will run into when robots start looking and behaving more and more like humans, not to mention the problems when the robots get violent. 
Doesn't sound to me like it would be a terrible way to die, there are much worse ways to go for sure. Just think what something like this would do to the lot lizard industry though, what are those poor girls working the truck stops going to do for themselves? I guess they can get a $15 dollar an hour job at mcdonalds, almost forgot about that...

Yeah, with pruning shears built into their "pelvic entertainment port"
A good and thorough neutering might reduce his urge to spray mark the rest of the world with his musk...
Just like the real thing!

I'm more inclined to compare this to the pretty awesome HBO TV series Westworld (and the fairly terrible 70s movie the series was based on)...
There will always be people, male and female, who are interested in new and/or different experiences. Alas, like anything machine related, there are always risks... of course, having your sex robot pull a knife and gut you is probably something reserved for Sci/Fi - but ya never know!

I don't see the point of emphasizing/adding the 'sex' keyword for this topic.
Why sex robot?? I mean isn't this hacking risk apply to all kind of serving robot?
e.g. maid/worker robot which wash your dishes and clean your home make more sense to be 7x24 online.
Anyway, it would be interesting to see ransomware hijacking sex robot.
Instead of not providing service, a sex robot could do a lot worse.
And I wonder how it feel for the owner to get tech support for their sex robot.

Based on this info all my cherry will be offline.

maybe there is a career in being a human pet to a humanoid household.
