London Conference to Titillate with Talks about Robot Sex and ‘Sexbots’

The future of sex

Today, a sex doll. Tomorrow, a sexbot.

An international conference on sex with robots and sexbots (robots that make love) will be hosted by Goldsmiths University in London from Dec. 19 to 20.

The "International Congress on Love and Sex with Robots" will explore the future when human and machines have sex as casually as humans do with fellow humans today. It will focus on a variety of topics such as humanoid robots; "teledildonics" (a more technical name for cybersex toys) and intelligent electronic sex hardware.

Organizers said the past few years have witnessed a strong upsurge of interest in the more personal aspects of human relationships with these artificial partners within the fields of Human-Computer Interaction and Human-Robot Interaction.

Goldsmiths said the event is an excellent opportunity for academics and industry professionals to present and discuss their innovative work and ideas in an academic symposium.

Some futurists predict robot sex might overtake human sex by 2050. Others warn robot sex might become addictive and will even replace human-human sex almost entirely. That's because a sex robot or a "sexbot"can be programmed to become its human partner's perfect lover.

One expert said the advantage of sexbots is these machines never say "No" to sex. This always-on sex will become addictive and some people might build their lives around robot sex.

The robot sex conference in December will be the second such conference in the UK since September.

The topic of sexbots possessed of artificial intelligence; "robot love" and the future of these eerie concepts were discussed at the 12th International Human Choice and Computers Conference in Manchester that explored topics related to technology and human intimacy.

Experts in psychology, human behavior and technology discussed the impact of new technologies on society. Some experts at the conference believe robot love might become so addictive that it might eventually replace human-to-human intimacy.
