Sexy Robot is here.
Technology is changing every step of our lives.
Starting to meet and flirt on screen and grow to sexy time on skype now leads to products that promise happier relationships and more meaningful connections --
Human beings are in close contact through digital interfaces.
From here, according to your point of view, it will only become more sexy or scary.
Experts predict that with the help of virtual reality goggles, holographic photos, stimulating tights and erotic robots, future generations will become active. (
Think about the "basic happy mode" replicators from the blade runner, let alone the threat. )
What is the boundary between strengthening human ties with technology and completely replacing technology?
We always knew what sex meant-
Eye contact, skin, sweat
If there is a digital three-wheel in the mix?
If you ask Suki and Brian Dunham, married founders of sex toy company ohmibot, it could be a glorious game to involve technology in our sex life --
Change anyone.
Single, new smitten, one-husband, multi-horned, Long
Love Bird distance.
That's why these apps and gadgets are becoming more mainstream than just experimental adventurers apps and gadgets, says Suki Dunham.
So ohmibot's sex toys are not just sex toys, but another part of a healthy lifestyle, she said: "Just like eating well and exercising, healthy sex life and orgasm should be part of the whole.
"After all, our devices will follow us into our private moments anyway --

Let's pause so you can raise your hand. )
Brian Dunham uses the term "Alone Together" by social psychologist Sherry Turkle to refer to this phenomenon, which is also the reason why dunhams launched OhMiBod's latest product "art of science and love" or "TASL ", at this month's Consumer Electronics Show. The two-
Some TASL platforms include fairly standard sex toys and applications connected to toys;
A person uses a toy on their body and the partner can control it from the same room or thousands of miles away.
"We looked at what happened in our culture today and what we saw was this digital divide, almost like an intimate divide," said Brian Dunham . ".
If we don't put our phones down, "we should at least make good use of them. ”Remote-
Control toys are not fresh.
But what sets TASL apart is its commitment to strengthening human ties.
Use technology to bridge the same emotional distance that technology can create.
By connecting the vibrator to an app that can be controlled from a distance, you can track your Kegel muscle workout and can send mediocre intimacy --
Calendar reminders are encouraged (
Hug your boyfriend!
Find a nanny for the children!
Send sexy text messages! )
The project aims to normalize the role of technology in all aspects of sexual life.
Imagine what this can do for a long time
Distance, added Brian Dunham.
"It's very, very important to think about Marine Corps soldiers overseas who want to have some kind of intimate connection with his partner or wife," he said . ".
Laura Berman, a writer and relations expert on the future of research and technology, said there will be other benefits soon.
She said that there will be fewer sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies in the coming decades. (
"Virtual sex is the ultimate safe sex! ”)
She predicts that we will launch tights that will significantly improve the sex life of people with disabilities.
"Even now, there is this basic technology," she notes . ".
For those with fringe fetishes, there will be sex robots that will fit anything, she said. [

"The phone sex we used to think would now actually be virtual sex, not just simulated virtual sex, but also active interactive virtual sex," she said . ". Like an X-

But not all the news is good.
Berman also reminded everyone to pay attention to what she called "shadow face"tech sex.
"There will be people who will almost prefer technology rather than the confusion of real emotions, the complexity of relationships," she said . ".
"These people may actually become more isolated.
To remind you what this looks like, just add Spike Jones's visionary movie "She" to your Netflix queue.

Like the entity, it is not revealed the year it happened --
But Berman said sadly, "it's not far away . "[

There are many more that we cannot predict.
As in future generations, true "digital natives" may redefine the role of technology in sex.
Most adults still remember life before the iphone, Bluetooth and Skype;
For most of us, our first intimate contact could be a rogue kiss behind the middle school, or an awkward fumble in a dark movie theater.
This is not the case for the children these days.
Brian Dunham says Brian and Suki Dunham have two teenage kids, so they hear about the love life of high school students whose first intimate moments are "through SnapChat or naughty
"This is the first time that humans have experienced a huge paradigm shift in intimacy.
He said that this shift may not be understandable to his parents' generation, even for some of his 40 s.
Peers may feel uneasy.
But Brian Denham's mind is open.
"The difference is not necessarily wrong," he said . "
"People are also afraid of TV, fear that it makes everyone's mind rot, and fear that it is the end of humanity.
But we have learned how to deal with this, and I feel strongly that this is the same as what we think about sex and technology.
So it may be worth remembering that yesterday's people were probably just as troubled by "Bachelors" as we were by robotic ideas. (
Is there anyone with "Bachelor of robotics? )
Brian and Suki Dunham believe that no matter how technology complements human contact, it will not be a real replacement --
Berman agreed.
"In the end, nothing can really replace that soul --to-
"Soul Connection, human connection to sex," she said . ".
"I don't think it will go away.
I don't think we have the risk of losing it completely.
