BTW, have you watched the TV series "Humans"? It is not clearly expressed in the series (or I just missed it), but I was wondering who would be the clients for the child androids in the mind of the series writers.
I have not. I'm generally more of an anime & video games guy. Do you recommend it?

Anyhow, I used to be positive regarding android children for MAPs, but now I'm not so sure anymore. Those like myself who think that kid/adult relationships are much more than just sex (sex being the icing on the cake), that mentoring and friendship are a big deal... They will say: What about the real children who could benefit from these positive relationships?
I think there will always be some among us for whom sexuality is too important to be viewed as merely "icing on the cake", and indeed whose unbridled adult libido would likely be too much to handle for virtually any child. I was somewhat like that as a teenager, and if I had been an exclusive paedophile, an android would definitely have been a great option at the time (actually, I'd have liked one in any case). Such people are generally the most likely among MAPs to have "predatory" thoughts—which did happen to me exactly
once in my life at 15, partly because I didn't have access to lolicon at the family cottage.
Also, in the same way as having lolicon as a sexual outlet allows me to properly focus on non-sexual aspects of my relationships with little girls, having an even better sexual outlet would plausibly allow me to focus even better on the platonic side. No matter how realistic the android becomes, I'd always want real bonds with real young girls. There is no way I'd ever be
romantically satisfied with an android, and I'd think anyone who could be would be unlikely to bring much to children.
We should also keep in mind that many MAPs can't have real-life relationships for various reasons: physical and mental health issues (my own health issues are severe enough right now that they preclude any real romance), severe social anxiety, absence of suitable partners nearby, etc. They deserve the opportunity to be sexually fulfilled, too.
Ultimately, the one downside I can see is that it could remove incentives to push for legal reform regarding actual AMSC.
