It
has been predicted that very soon, humans will face stiff competition
from s*x robots with real life human features as they will become more
popular for s*xual satisfaction in 2050.
It has been predicted that sex robots with functional genitals will be more popular soon
Robots are already putting a variety of jobs under threat from
security guards to office managers, but soon they could be venturing
into the s*x industry too.
Women and men could begin swapping human partners for androids
within the next 10 years, according to predictions by a futurologist.
Dr Ian Pearson, an inventor who has made a career out of predicting
the future for PR firms, has produced a report on the future of s*x.
He believes that s*x with robots will become so popular that it
will eventually overtake human intercourse by around 2050. He believes
that while the market for s*x dolls is currently driven by male
customers, s*x robots could become as popular with women.
In the report, commissioned by Bondara, an adult online store, he
said most people will have some form of s*x using virtual reality
headsets by 2030. It comes at a time when many sex toy companies are
developing new devices that integrate with smartphones and link to the
internet.
Dr Pearson believes that in the future many toys will link directly to our nervous systems or even tap into our dreams.
Speaking to MailOnline, he said: 'While there will be some people who will buy robots specifically for sex, most will buy them for use around the home.
'But if they are spending as much on a domestic robot as they
would on a family -sized car, they are not going to go for something
ugly. They are going to pick robots they find attractive.
'With artificial intelligence it is likely people will form
relationships with these household robots and it is inevitable then that
they will have sex with them too.'
In a recent presentation he made at the Eindhoven Design Academy,
he said people may also be able to 'hack' their own appearance with
technology.
For example polymer displays could be used to enhance nipples while hair extensions could incorporate ultrafine optical fibres.
Writing in his report for Bondara, Dr Pearson said: 'As well as toys and apps, we'll also get direct nervous systems links, dream linking and even body sharing.
'You'll be able to link your dream s*x to other people, feel
their sensations as well as your own, and directly stimulate orgasms by
the touch of an icon, or even send someone an orgasm over messages. S*x will be easier, safer, more frequent and a lot more fun.'
The report also suggests people will have 'real s*x' wearing VR
contact lenses and could be seeing a totally different person such as a
celebrity, or alter their partner's face or 'costume' to make them more
attractive.
Along with the use of virtual reality, it claims humans will one
day use technology to directly stimulate the septal area of the brain to
create an orgasm at the touch of a button, share experiences, inhabit
other people's bodies, even lock a partner in place or control them
electronically.
As imaged in the sci-fi drama 'Humans', the report predicts robots
will replace human workers in strip clubs and brothels, while wealthy
households could have their own 'sexbots' in just 10 years' time.
The report suggests such robots would have AI 'to offer a
customisable personality with only the emotional baggage you want' and
would be 'perfect for those people who want to live their ultimate
fantasy without all the strings and emotional commitments of real
relationships.
The report says: 'For humans, VR can enhance appearance and the appearance of ability. Your
partner could have the perfect physique and entertain you with the
sexiest moves, or they could just be their regular selves.'
Currently rudimentary robot s*x dolls are available. One variety
called True Companion – which comes as Roxxxy for the female variety and
Rocky for the male - sell for $9995 (£6,900).
The dolls can be customised and the company offers a variety of
skin tones, faces and hair colours. But while its articulated skeleton
means the dolls can be positioned by hand, they cannot move their limbs
independently.
Dr Pearson said: 'S*x and the pleasure it provides has been
fundamental to the human race for three billion years, and it isn't
going away any time soon.
'VR and AI will together transform opportunities and
exploration of desires. Social values will adapt to these new
possibilities and loving relationships will remain important in spite of
these shifts in values.
'If we can keep love and our emotional human relationships but have more, better and safer s*x, what's not to like?'
However, some experts believe sexbots could seriously damage human
relationships and Kathleen Richardson, robot ethicist at DeMontfort
University, Leicester, said technology is 'unnecessary and undesirable'.
But Noel Sharkey, professor of artificial intelligence and robotics
at Sheffield University, has also warned that teenagers may lose their
virginity to sex robots in the future.
Speaking at the Cheltenham Science Festival, Professor Noel
Sharkey, Emeritus Professor in Robotics at Sheffield University warned
that robot nannies, driverless cars and android sex dolls may have
damaging consequences for society.
He said that just as the rise of porn on the internet took the
government by surprise, a robot revolution is on the way with
wide-reaching effects.
Professor Sharkey, who was speaking at the Cheltenham Science Festival, explained: 'It's
not a problem having s*x with a machine, people do that sort of thing
already. But what if it's your first time, your first relationship?
'What do you think of the opposite sex then? What do you think a man is, or a woman is? He added: 'It will get in the way of real life, stopping people forming relationships with normal people.'
