Since we started Future of Sex podcast we’ve seen so many developments in the world of sextech. We’ve seen advances in robotics and sex dolls, apps for mindfulness, education tools providing the sex education we’ve always deserved, not to mention more and more vulva owning celebrities getting behind companies and products in the space. But what about sextech for men and penis owners? Whilst sextech for women and vulva owners has advanced we’re still seeing a stigma around men and penis owners with sextech. Today, we’re excited to cover We-Vibe’s release of the Arcwave ION, a new class of toy for men which claims to mimic a clitoral orgasm. We interview CTO of We-Vibe Tobias Zegenhagen who takes us through the development of how they came up with it, Tom who has what some would think the best job in the world - a sex toy tester for We-Vibe. Tom chats about the new sensations and what his job entails. We also talk with two leading sexperts, writer Zachary Zane and sex coach Cam Fraser. Both share perspectives on the stigma around male sex toys, what an orgasm feels like and what they feel the future will hold for male sextech.

In the second part of a two part series we continue our conversation with Davecat and how fell for synthetics and became a part of the iDollator community. He discusses how he popped the question to his sex doll wife Sidore and how he hopes that one day she’ll be a robot he can share his life with. We then get the psychologist point of view on sex dolls and robots. Dr Marianne Brandon has studied the future of sex for years and looks at how children born now may have their first sexual experience with a robot. Our final guest Dr. Julie Carpenter, a leading researcher in human connection and robotics talks about her research with the military and how humans are a lot more comfortable living with robots than we think. But what does the future hold? Will we be living together in harmony with robots any time soon? Think about how you interact with technology today and you might find, we already are...

It’s 2020, we still don’t have flying cars, we’re still looking for aliens and the hoverboard has yet to go mainstream. But what about marrying a sex doll? Was that on your predictions list? Meet this week’s guest Davecat. In the first of a two part series we talk to Davecat who lives with his 4 sex dolls, his wife(yes his wife), his mistress, his two girlfriends. They all live in his apartment near Detroit and live a seemingly normal life. In this episode Bryony discovers more about his unconventional marriage and his hopes for the future of his sex dolls, Davecat candidly talks about&nbsp; their individual personalities and their social media habits (including the one who can’t remember her password!) and his very special anniversary gift for his wife of 15 years. Bryony then looks to the future, with sex dolls becoming increasingly popular, loneliness becoming more and more prevalent and sex robots becoming closer to reality, what does the future of intimacy look like? In part 2 released next week we have more from Davecat and also chat to Futurist and Psychologist Marianne Brandon and leading researcher on human behaviour with emerging technologies, Julie Carpenter who go deeper in the whys and how humans can create emotional connections with robots.
