Episode 244: The Future of Sex Toys

What does the future hold when it comes to sex toys? Artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and robotics are just a few of the many emerging technologies that are likely to become an increasingly big part of the way that we experience pleasure. In this episode, we’re going to explore the high-tech pleasure products of the future.

I am joined one again by Sarah Tomchesson, who works as a sex educator, sex toy evangelist and podcast host. Sarah is Lovehoney’s Resident Sexual Wellness Advisor and hosts free monthly workshops through Lovehoney.com. Sarah’s podcast, F*ck Yeah, disrupts traditional ideas about sexuality and relationships, and her online education program, Pleasure Practices, supports cultivating personal power through pleasure exploration.

Some of the topics we discuss include:

How do app-connected sex toys open up new opportunities for pleasure?
How might AI revolutionize sex toys?
How does virtual reality have the potential to completely change the way we interact with and experience sex toys?
How can technology make sex toys more accessible?
How can sex toys help us to monitor our sexual health?
