WILL SEX TECH CHANGE SEX?

People no longer need a partner for companionship at this time and age. Herein is what sex tech changes entail, including; sex robots, virtual Reality, teledildonics, laboratory gown genitals, and male contraceptives.

Women look for ways to sustain themselves while men no longer need a woman to run a home. The traditional model of a perfect relationship does not exist, but this does not mean that people do not savor the beautiful moments of their relationships. Most people desire perfection from their partners, but perfection is a far-fetched notion, and when they are not provided with what they desire, they consider other options. There is a concern that the sex tech industry may alter sex depending on how people handle the benefits and risks. Below is what you need to know about sex tech and the chances of altering it.

How Sex Tech Could Change Sex

Sex tech topics are often associated with robot girlfriends, fuel, and VR pornography. The sex tech industry plan is to improve sexual wellness and health with your real partner, although it is associated with lifelike sexbots. Although sex tech has focused on sex toys to enhance pleasure between couples, other upcoming products tackle premature ejaculation and painful sex issues.

Sex Robots

Sex robots are sex dolls with a human-like form and movement designed to provide an intimate companionship, as Döring et al. (2020) noted. The female sex robot has features of a woman and is sexy. It is soft and flexible to enhance different sex positions. Man can access its glory hole and take pleasure out of it. Men reach orgasm while having sex with sexbots. Recent sexbots are powered by artificial intelligence (AI), making it possible to respond to touch and talk. An example of an AI-powered sex doll is Harmony. The woman sexbot can smile, turn her head, and blink like a human. People of all genders can use Harmony, but men make the most purchase. You can connect the bot's head to an app where you can download its personality. Sexbots is an interesting X-mode feature allowing you to connect to their naughty bits. It also allows the bot to detect movement, making her more lifelike.

Augmented Reality

Augmented Reality (AR) overlays digital images onto the physical world. The AR involves three basic features to work perfectly; real-time interaction, accurate 3D registration of real and virtual objects, and a combo of the virtual and real world. In a 2017 conference, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated that his company is inventing glasses making AR technology an all-pervading part of people's lives, impacting their sex lives. AR may also help people change their partner's physical appearance. You may opt to make them more attractive or change them into someone different.

Virtual Reality

Virtual Reality is a simulated environment similar to or different from the real world. VR is becoming a common tool, especially in the world of pornography. Virtual Reality births virtual sex where one person and a virtual character use communication gadgets like smartphones to engage in sexual or non-sexual activities. Most tech companies look forward to an improved virtual sex experience through nanobot networks chipped into the brains. Also, VR may boost empathy, the ability to share in the feelings and emotions of someone else, between partners. Western nations use virtual Reality in all levels of education to teach people about consent regarding sex, which has been a promising approach when dealing with rape.

Teledildonics

Teledildonics is a word coined from Greek that refers to a long-distance connection facilitated by the internet, as Steensig & Westh (2016) stated. Gone are the days when couples in long-distance relationships engage in phone sex. They can have a real sex experience with teledildonics. These high-tech toys are a sure way of boosting sex, whether on your own, with a porn star, or with your lover. The business is at its prime stages, and the future holds much for this industry. Some innovations include sending orgasms to your partner through net-connected implants or lubes. Regardless, the current line of teledildonics boosts pleasure and intimacy, and that matters.

Male Contraception

Male contraception, also known as the male pill, has been at work since 2016, but scientists have halted the process due to severe side effects like acne, Mild erectile dysfunction, low libido, fatigue, and weight gain, as Behre et al. (2016) noted. These effects lead to instability in a relationship.

However, there was positive feedback in recent lab trials when rodents were subjected to the pill. The rodents were given the drug orally for 4 weeks, and they recorded a dip in sperm count, making them sterile. They noticed a boost in sperm count when they stopped experimenting on the rodents, and within 4-6 weeks, the normal sperm count was back to normal. Sex-tech experts are positive that the male pill will ease the burden of birth control on women.

Laboratory-grown Genitals

According to Magalhaes (2019), urological and gynecological surgeons specializing in regenerative medicine have successfully transplanted artificial penises, vaginas, and bladders. The doctors use a tissue sample from the patient and an ecological scaffold to grow the vaginas. The tissue sample prevents the risk of the body rejecting the transplant. This approach will change the stigma accorded to men with no genitals, known as eunuchs. These genitals function the same way with reported normal levels of orgasm, lubrication, and arousal, which are paramount for healthy sex life. Eunuchs have reported its efficiency and sexual pleasures.

The Bottom Line

Technology has led to an advanced era of sex toys and sexbots. Though people shunned this idea initially, tech has boosted intimacy in more ways than one, from personalized 3D sex toys to haptic suits allowing us to engage in porn more directly. A lot is in the works, especially for video-synched sex toys modified to match the movements of the pornographic material you are streaming. Only men enjoy this luxury, but futuristics are positive that women will too. The article above is a testament to what the sex tech industry has achieved and what it hopes to achieve in the coming years.
