Join host Bryony Cole as she talks to sextech’s leaders and experts, from sex therapists researching skin hunger, to entrepreneurs who are finding ways to bring psychedelics and sex together, to astrosexologists asking the tough questions like, are we allowed to have sex in space?
Futurists predict women will have more sex with robots than men by 2025, and that it will be common to use teledildonics to connect with long distance lovers... But, do therapists really believe we will take it further with a robot? And what are the consequences? How can our society cope with technology moving so fast if our attitudes toward sexuality are so far behind?
Examining sexual beliefs about women and men, this panel episode explores how female sexuality pleasure is complicated by our backgrounds and cultures. As a woman, how do have an opinion on porn? How do we explore our fantasies without shame? The panelists expand on how sexual flexibility and fluidity are now part of the conversation on evolution and human sexuality and answer audience questions.

Today I’ll be having a conversation with Ross Dawson, a futurist who has some very specific predictions about the future of sex. He believes we will begin to have conversations with machines in the next 10 years, possibly in the next 5 years, where they can evoke our emotions. In fact, what we have seen from the technology coming from the “real dolls” sector indicates robots are becoming more attractive to us. Ross tells me it is safe to say at least one in 10 young adults with have had sex with a humanoid robot by 2045. Join us as we wrap the first season of Future of Sex with futurist Ross Dawson.

In 2010, the iPhone 4 came with a front-facing camera – that made the selfie go viral and changed the way people, in particular women, produced, shared and controlled images of themselves. Since then, attitudes toward female sexuality have undergone incredible change - thanks in part to the supportive communities and activism on the internet. At the same time, the culture of sharing images cultivated a dark underbelly online, where revenge porn and non-consensual distribution of images has generated a new form of sexual violence. Today, 1 in 5 Australians have been victims of revenge porn. How do we untangle the culture of nude pics when, for most young people, sexting is considered normal, if not more normal, than a phone call? On this episode of Future of Sex, Bryony Cole explores the complicated world of women’s bodies on the internet, from nude Tumblrs to slut shaming. She interviews Emily Lindin, founder of The Unslut Project and Sloane Cameron, a nude Tumblr creator. Both offer perspectives of how sexuality may keep up with technology.
