The report The Future of Sex Report predicts that by 2050, robot sex could overtake human sex, as virtual reality and AI-powered sex toys become more advanced and personalized to users’ needs and preferences. While the concept of virtual intimacy has been explored in films like Her and Demolition Man, companies are now actively developing AI technologies to enhance sexual experiences, provide personalized product recommendations, and even assist with sex education and therapy. However, the integration of AI into virtual sex also raises ethical concerns around consent, privacy, and the potential for abuse that will need to be carefully navigated. As the sex tech industry grows rapidly, open dialogue and education will be key to destigmatizing these technologies and ensuring they are developed and used responsibly to benefit sexual wellbeing.
