Show notes

Episode Notes

In episode 6 of The Handicast, Heather and I take a deep dive into sex tech with the host of the Future of Sex Podcast, Bryony Cole. We explore whether or not sex tech is all robots and VR (and how VR can be an accessibility tool), we talk about voice activation toys and whether they would be accessible, but most importantly we look at how sex tech will not replace intimacy and touch, but rather act as an additive and enhance those things! Enjoy!
