Digital Desires #14: Sex with Robots

Moral and ethical concerns are typically what comes to mind when one talks about robot intercourse, but less discussed is how robots can be used to treat patients with disabilities or survivors with a traumatic sexual past. From anxiety and vulnerability to repulsion and disgust, Fuad and Vizla ponder their emotions about machine-assisted intimacy and what it portends for the future of humanity on this week’s episode of Digital Desires.
