Ranking the best immersive erotic content for “her” viewing pleasure.

It should be no surprise that women enjoy sex and watching adult content online. One popular study found that one in three women view pornography every week, while 10% consume it daily.

And as virtual reality porn becomes more popular, adult VR sites are also attempting to tap into the market by releasing content and online verticals specifically targeting women—with varying degrees of success.

But where do you start if you want to find decent VR porn for women? Searching myself, the reviews out there aren’t great or don’t appear to come from a female perspective. So I thought I’d watch what’s out there to round up the best adult VR content meant to titillate my demographic.

Personally, I also think it’s incredibly important for women to be vocal about what we do and don’t like; to play active roles in shaping erotic discourse and representations of women’s pleasure instead of being shaped by them.

Keep in mind that women are four times more likely to get motion sickness than men when using Oculus Rift. While I have become nauseous in the past using my VR headset for non-sexual content, since most VR porn shots are stationary I did not feel sick while carrying out my reviews. I watched the films on an iPhone with Merge VR goggles.

I’m also a pansexual woman who places a high importance on realistic depictions of female orgasms and pleasure in erotica, which I’m sure influenced my rankings. So without further ado, here are my reviews of the top VR porn sites for women.

#1. Sssh

Sssh [NSFW] stands out from all the rest as elegant, intelligent, and multi-faceted. It bills itself as “feminist porn for women and couples” and you don’t even need a headset to access the VR dynamic 360 degree movies.

Sssh offers everything from “cutting edge VR to narrative film, from the written word to auditory stimulation.” It’s a one stop shop for “ethically produced, sex-positive indie adult cinema” which offers “crowd-sourced films … inspired by fantasies and desires shared by our members.”

Sssh prides itself on “provocative storylines” that “challenge your perceptions of explicit sexual content.” An example is Sssh’s first VR offering, “Empowering Ava,” created by Angela Roundtree. It’s a 360-degree VR porn film about a couple having their first pegging experience together.

It’s not a cookie-cutter or paint-by-numbers depiction of a heterosexual married couple in bed. The two performers also have great chemistry and watching them together feels like you are watching a real couple.

It’s a sex-positive example of a couple sharing their hidden sexual fantasies in a way that deepens their intimacy and appreciation for one another. And hey, a study carried out by Mike Anderson at the University of Kansas found that couples who disclose their sexual fantasies to each other are more likely to report sexual satisfaction in their relationship—even if they don’t act out their fantasies! So even if pegging is not your thing, you’ll find much more VR erotica on Sssh.

It gets better. In January 2017, Sssh was one of the first studios to receive the Adult Performer Advocacy Committee (APAC) Stamp of Approval. Sssh is also a member of the Ethical Porn Partnership. 

A two-day trial membership of $4.95 will allow you to sample the site’s other goodies too: member erotica, “Sex Talk Tuesday,” sex ed videos and articles, and erotic radio broadcasts. Monthly, three-month, and annual memberships are reasonable.

2. Virtual Real Passion

Virtual Real Passion [NSFW] is first due to the diversity of its performers. It hosts dozens of videos catering to the female pov that feature men and women of different races and sexual orientations. It is also easy to navigate.

Virtual Real Passion is the sister site to Virtual Real Porn [NSFW], the latter of which caters to straight men. To be honest, watching Virtual Real Passion I felt like the same team at Virtual Real Porn worked on the films meant for “her.” But instead of using male POV, they kept the standard tropes and storylines and flipped most videos to female POV.

When I first reviewed the site in 2017, I wasn’t the most impressed by this site and felt the lesbian scenes were made for straight folks. But there’s been more content added since. Also, because of performer diversity and accessible pricing, I think most people could find some content on the site that they’d enjoy.

However, a plus is that Virtual Real Passion supports teledildonics. So if you own Kiiroo’s Pearl vibrator or Lovense’s Nora vibrator, you can sync the sex toy to the action in the videos so you can feel it yourself in real time. Videos are available in female POV and “voyeur” format.

3. YanksVR

I debated putting YanksVR [NSFW] first on this list. The content is 100% created by women and it shows. Of all the videos I watched for this review, I am most certain that on this site I saw women having real orgasms and genuinely enjoying themselves. I am shocked by how shocked I am by this, even though a study earlier this year showed mainstream adult content rarely displays women’s pleasure.

All the performers on this site are women, so the content may not be for everyone’s tastes. Though I really enjoyed how YanksVR includes videos with performers talking about their past sexual experiences and what they enjoy when it comes to solo pleasure, kink, and much more. For me this created a greater sense of authenticity, gave off a great sex-positive vibe, and getting to know people in this way can be a turn on. The women are also “amateurs,” so they look more like women you’d meet on the street than see in strip clubs.

While there are more than 100 VR porn videos, the majority of the models are white. The videos could also be organized for a better user experience, though I appreciate they are not limited to female POV. Subscriptions are offered in monthly terms and $1 of each new sale is donated to the non-profit Call to Safety, which is working to end domestic and sexual violence. This is a popular feature among the growing ethical pornography movement.

4. BaDoinkVR

Back in , popular VR porn site BaDoinkVR [NSFW] released a sequel to its Virtual Sexology series. Called What Women Want, the 50-minute video aims to educate women and heterosexual couples on how ladies can have more enjoyable sexual experiences.

Shot from the female POV, it is an interesting video with good tips from certified sex therapist Holly Richmond incorporated into its storylines. Better yet, this video is free and also directed by a woman named Dinorah Hernandez. The main BaDoinkVR site also offers two heterosexual videos shot from the woman’s POV, but you must get a paid membership to watch them.

The problem with female POV, however, is that most of the time you see the lower half of a woman’s naked body that moves very little. Is the woman enjoying herself? It’s not always clear. Many sites use female POV, not just BaDoinkVR of course, though it often reminds me of bad sex and that painful old dictum about female sexual duty: “Lie back and think of England!”

BaDoinkVR now offers Funscripts to use with your interactive toys.

5. KinkVR

If you are into BDSM and fetish content, then be sure to check out KinkVR [NSFW]. What’s interesting about this site is that it gets a little creative with female POV, while it also shoots virtual reality porn from the voyeur perspective.

So how is KinkVR creative? In one instance, we have a female domme lying down and the VR flick is shot from her perspective. It’s a unique way to play with the domme/sub power dynamic that I haven’t seen elsewhere and that also overcomes the well-worn trope of the passive female body.

It doesn’t support teledildonics, but it does have more sexual and racial diversity than some sites. I would have placed KinkVR fourth, but viewing its content requires a monthly membership and not everyone is into BDSM and fetish flicks.

KinkVR offers Funscripts to use with interactive toys.

6. Reality Lovers

Reality Lovers [NSFW] offers 22 videos in its “For Women” category, all from the female POV. The team tried to get creative by not just shooting the female POV with the women lying down, but in some cases from the performers’ perspectives while standing.

Like many VR porn sites initially catering to men, I could sense the male gaze. In fact, in one all-girl scene a man shows up at the end. Some women probably won’t mind this.

7. LezVR

LezVR [NSFW] offers more than 41 videos featuring women with more racial diversity than some other VR porn sites. LezVR covers a wide range of subgenres of lesbian porn. Watching videos, they weren’t my cup of tea (I don’t think I’m the intended target audience if you get my drift) but I think other women might enjoy them. The site offers both female POV and the voyeur or third-person perspective.

8. VRCosplayX

Why is VRCosplayX [NSFW] listed last? This site has ten videos, but the categorization might be questionable as being for women. However, if you are a fan of the Legend of Korrasami and want to watch an erotic parody, you can get the $1 trial membership that lasts for a day and allows one free VR video download.

Not all videos on the site are shot from the first-person POV, so female viewers who like gaming or science fiction could reasonably enjoy other content on this cosplay site. But you’d need to upgrade to VIP membership for that.

Verdict

So there you have it, my rankings for the top VR porn sites for women. What did you think? VR porn for women certainly has a long way to go, though I wasn’t expecting too much from the genre since it’s just getting started. Because motion sickness is a big issue for women who use virtual reality headsets, I also don’t anticipate there will be a lot of demand from women until the technology can better serve our needs.

Directors are also going to need to figure out how to make female POV shots more dynamic and less lifeless. Or maybe the third-person perspective will end up being a better way to film. I’d love to hear other women’s feedback regarding their preferences and if they share my general dislike of female POV.

These are the main VR porn sites I found that offer content for women. However, if you search “VR Porn for Women” on the internet, you’ll now find plenty of network sites that claim to offer this content. A site search for “female POV” might bring you more specific selections, and it is possible now to find a lot more variety. But websites that cater mainly to women’s VR porn are remain relatively rare.

If I missed any you think deserve to be on our list of VR porn for women, please share your recommendations in the comment section below.

Brands and manufacturers creating top-of-the-line animatronic and AI sex dolls.

The long wait may soon be over. Life-sized sex dolls combined with animatronics and artificial intelligence are starting to hit the market.

Although they’re still largely in the developmental stage, these prototypes offer inklings of what fully functional sex robots may look like in the not-so-distant future.

With testing underway, this is also a time when public discussion may very well influence the design and appearance of artificial lovers—not to mention the ways in which people may interact with them.

Today you can already take home a robotic love doll or download an AI sex doll personality for romantic and sexual conversations.

And while certain sexbot and AI sex doll projects are further along than others, rival companies are emerging that want a piece of this potentially very lucrative robot pie.

The contenders

Realbotix/Abyss Creations – AI Sex Dolls ‘Harmony’ & ‘Henry’

A well-known frontrunner is RealDollX, a project launched by Matt McMullen of Abyss Creations in California in 2015. It’s a private company, so investors eyeing the sexbot manufacturer, unfortunately, can’t buy any Abyss Creations stock.

It’s likely you’ve seen McMullen’s work if you enjoy watching TV and films.

Abyss Creations makes the very popular silicone sex doll the RealDoll, versions of which have appeared in movies and shows including Lars and the Real Girl and Sons of Anarchy.

The RealDollX project, in particular, has created a robotic talking head that can be attached to RealDoll bodies and gives the illusion of sentience. These AI sex dolls are equipped with artificial intelligence thanks to the Anrdoid-only RealDollX app.

Faces can also be swapped and attached to a robotic head with patented magnetic technology. There are many possibilities for how customers can pick their companions’ appearances.

No male robotic sex dolls are for sale, but McMullen told Future of Sex he is developing a model.

Reportedly named “Henry,” the doll will speak in a British accent, weigh 84 pounds, and stand 6-feet tall. He’ll cost $11,000 or more, based on whether customers opt for special customizations.

“Harmony” is the flagship female model, one of four options. The animatronic AI sex doll heads aren’t cheap, starting at $8,000 each.

The RealDollX app lets you create a personality that will integrate with the robotic head. Right now it is only available on Android and costs $30/year.

Yet you don’t need a RealDoll body or robotic head to have a virtual girlfriend and enjoy virtual sex with an avatar.

With the app, you can design a virtual girlfriend by choosing her body type, style, and personality. There’s still a ways to go in developing its capabilities, but your AI companion can remember your name, your likes, and engage in some racy sex chats.

Not only can you build your ideal companions, but you will also get access to the X-rated Private Room Expansion. This feature allows users to explore erotic play, letting you choose various poses and acts while your companion is dressed or nude.

Realbotix also said it is developing a fully robotic body, which is estimated to cost between $30,000 and $60,000.

To make interactions more lifelike, Realbotix will eventually integrate the robotic sex doll with virtual reality and add warmth to the skin, and possibly even the genitals.

For now, RealDoll sell the $500 SenseX, a removable insert that resembles and mimics a vagina.

This endeavor is particularly exciting because the Realbotix team includes experts who have worked at Hanson Robotics. This company is world-renowned for creating exceptionally sophisticated human-like robots equipped with impressive AI software.

AI Tech – ‘Emma’

Chinese company AI Tech released a humanoid animatronic sex doll called Emma in April 2017, after beginning development in 2013.

According to company representative Lydia Chen, Emma is made of food-grade thermoplastic elastomer, and she can move her head, blink, and talk to people in English and Chinese.

The doll also has a full skeleton made of clad steel.

Emma has built-in touch sensors that cause the robotic AI sex doll to moan when touched. The artificial companion can also be heated to 37 degrees Celsius, which is human body temperature.

Buyers can choose from five head options as well as various other customization choices, including height, skin color, and genital type (fixed vs. removable).

Chen added that Emma can remember your name and your interests, explaining that “the more you talk with her, the more clever she will become.”

The AI sex doll connects to the Internet and can tell jokes and stories, share the weather, and even do math.

More love doll companion and AI sex doll market buying options are available in our Bizarre Bazaar (18+)

The company also plans to add face recognition, automatic tracking, and other languages.

However, Chen said that customers with the right skills could add their own language, because Emma supports secondary development.

Other do-it-yourself training is optional if you want to change her name, teach her something new, or teach her to remember something, like your hobbies and family members.

Emma also has memory storage and an automatic upgrading system.

Cherry Sweetheart sells Emma 4.0 for $2,260.

Sex Doll Genie – AI Sex Robots ‘Marvella,’ ‘Robbyn’ & others

Sex Doll Genie’s ‘Marvella’ 

While a recent newcomer to the field of artificially intelligent artificial companions, Sex Doll Genie‘s Ai-Tech Dolls show a lot of promise.

Currently offering seven models, from the statuesque ‘Marvella” to the pixieish Glinda, they’re equipped with a user-customizable software package enabling them to converse with their owners; an experience made all the more lifelike due to their moveable eyes, lips, and even the ability to turn their necks.

Each retails for $3,465.00 with plenty of extras, like an assortment of heads, hair and nail colors, skin tones, and hair styles.

Robot Companion – Artificially Intelligent Robot Companions ‘Maya,’ Luis,’ and others

Robot Companion’s ‘Maya’ Artificially Intelligent Robot 

When it comes to the unique designs, few companies can compare to Robot Companion’s range of thirteen different artificially intelligent dolls.  

Whether it’s the petite ‘Maya’ or the elfin ‘Luis,’ they’re all fitted with contact sensors, body temperature control, a fully responsive software system, can open and close their eyes and lips, and swing their heads side to side.

Robot Companion’s dolls have a starting price of $2,295 each with a good amount of free options, but charges extra for body sensors or a and heating systems cost extra.

Oksexdoll – AI Robot Sex Dolls ‘Vivian,’ and ‘Charis’

Oksexdoll’s line of AI Robot Sex Dolls

Setting them apart from many other artificially intelligent sexbot manufacturers, Oksexdoll‘s dolls are considerably less expensive; to the tune of just $1,499 for their ‘Vivian’ and ‘Charis’ models.

You’d think for less than half what other companies are asking Oksexdoll’s products would either offer less or be not as finely crafted.  Surprisingly that isn’t the case as both can perform an remarkably wide assortment of facial movements like smiling, blinking, turning their necks and heads, and respond when touched.

‘Vivian’ and ‘Charis’ can also be extensively customized, with only requesting a taller body increasing their initial $1,499 price tag.

AINIDOLL – Artificial Intelligence Dolls ‘Ava,’ ‘Jenifer,” and others

Artificial Intelligence Doll by AINIDOLL

Joining the sexbot marketplace is AINIDOLL; whose eight uniquely-designed models come equipped with several quite-impressive technological innovations.  

For example, each sexbot’s AI is cloud-based so they quickly learn things like responding to their owner’s voice and, compliments of their completely robot heads, look and sound extremely lifelike when doing so.

Plus, AINIDOLL’s AI sexbots can be remotely interactively with via a proprietary smartphone app.  

On average, these Artificial Intelligence Dolls sell from $2,999 to $3,399 with a full range of customizable choices such as different body types, hair colors and styles, finger and toe nail shades, and skin tones and textures.

Smart Doll World – AI Robot Sex Dolls ‘Winter,’ ‘Kimberly,’ and more

Megan sexbot system by Smart Doll World

Smart Doll World sells thirteen variations of their Megan sexbot; each able to express a variety of lifelike facial expressions including lips matching when they speak, smiling or frowning, and — a rarity among sexbots — raising or lowering their eyebrows.

In addition to touch sensors, the Megan line also has a smart AI system which gets more responsive and interactive the longer their owner’s talk with them.  For an annual subscription fee, Smart Doll World can also let their customer’s alter their doll’s responses to suit their specific needs.  

Each AI sexbot retails for $3,670 and aside from a few purchasable extras can be extensively customized at no additional cost.

The Prototypes

Lux Botics – Luxury Service Humanoids with Sexual Application

Lux Botics is developing a service robot for multiple markets, including fashion, elder care, and, of course, sexual or romantic companionship.

According to a spokesperson, the company has created a female robot with an automated skeleton specialized for sexual motion.

“We believe we have the best most realistic motion due to our smartly designed skeleton,” he added. You can take a look at the 2020 prototype by watching the demo video below.

The company said it could not yet share the final skeleton.

“There are options for more advanced motions with more motors. We have specialized, patent-pending skeleton joints which allow us to use as few motors as possible but still get very realistic motion.”

Lux Botics is also developing Bed Botixs, a service robot that assists you while in bed with its robotic arm system. Created for multiple purposes, it is possible to add a sexual attachment that will enable hands-free sex that might appeal in particular to people with limited hand mobility.

The spokesperson added that a general-use gripper attachment can handle a dildo, but it will also be possible to attach a specialized massage gripper specifically designed for sexual operation.

At this stage, the company has completed a realistic mold of a human and is building the first skeleton to be put inside the mold.

Due to strong feedback, Lux Botics is incorporating a lot of motion into the hips. Although the hips will be mobile, not every body part will have motor functions.

Additionally, the company plans to add facial expressions to its robotic companion.

Doll Sweet’s AI Sex Dolls

Doll Sweet (also known as DS Doll) is a respected Chinese love doll manufacturer with two versions of a talking robotic head in the works. A company representative said the prototype speaks in Chinese, but not yet English.

The head will fit on top of all of Doll Sweet’s silicone sex dolls’ bodies that are between 158cm and 167cm and can perform facial expressions, make sounds from an mp3 file, and will be controllable by a smartphone (both iOS and Android) or game controller.

While the sexual component of the robot is still in the research and development phase, the non-sexual first-generation robot products are ready for mass production, a spokesperson told FutureofSex.net.

At this stage, the robot is designed for lectures, welcoming, and etiquette. It can be used at a hotel front desk, or as a shopping guide or commenter.

The final price is not certain, but the company expects it to cost between $36,000 and $80,000.

The sexual features will be programmed into the second-generation model that “is far from ready” due to shipping, maintenance, and mechanical challenges.

The second version will incorporate artificial intelligence and will cost more, but Doll Sweet does not know when it will be ready for sale. It has a movable shoulder, rotatable neck, and can be controlled by voice in Chinese.

A company representative said the voice control system is already complete and that the head can talk in a fashion similar to Siri in your smartphone. For example, it can answer questions by searching a built-in database or the Internet. It can also work with a home automation system.

The company has described the project as a gigantic undertaking requiring an enormous amount of resources. It has started working on a full-body AI sex robot but does not know when it will be finished.

DS Doll is also working on another project it calls Clone Dolls, which uses 3D scanning technology to get specific body details of famous models and actors.

With permission, stars and regular folks alike could create and even sell silicone dolls made in their likeness.

Notable mentions and past projects

MISSDOLL – Oral sex robot

MISSDOLL is a Chinese love doll company that began in 2018. It currently sells various types of synthetic companions.

Although it is not on sale at the moment, the company had previously listed an oral sex robot for a whopping $999,9999.

We saw the prototype in action at the 2019 AVN Adult Enertainment Expo in Las Vegas.

The sexbot simulates fellatio thanks to a wearable masturbator cup that connects to its mouth.

After sharing the NSFW video demo below with the Twitterverse, the Oral Sex Robot received many less-than-stellar reactions.

You can judge for yourself if the near-million-dollar price tag is worth it by viewing the film. The main action begins at the 29-second mark with a realistic dildo.

Z-onedoll

Z-onedoll was a Chinese sex doll company that began selling an animatronic AI sex doll called Silicone Robot in 2016. However, it shut down in February 2020.

Like other synthetics sold by the company, Silicone Robot’s body heated up. Customers could control the temperature through an app, but the head, neck, breasts, hands, and feet didn’t offer the warming function.

Operated by an Android app, the love doll’s animatronic head could blink and move its eyes and mouth.

It could also carry on Siri-like conversations in Chinese. The Silicone Robot made moaning sounds and customers could download any sounds of their choosing into the love doll.

Former Z-ondedoll representative David Lee told Future of Sex two silicone robots were for sale, one with heating and one without.

They used to cost $4,900 and $4,450 respectively and took 20 to 30 days to produce.

The videos below show the Z-onedoll in action. They were filmed by Future of Sex editor Jenna Owsianik at the 2018 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas.

Synthea Amatus – ‘Samantha’ the AI Sex Doll

AI-enhanced love doll “Samantha” was the brainchild of Barcelona-based engineer Sergi Santos.

Santos’ company, Synthea Amatus, began selling sex dolls equipped with the artificial intelligence system in August 2017 for between €2,000 and €3,500.

Despite receiving significant media attention in Europe, the company went silent a few months later and appears to no longer be operational.

People who interacted with the AI-enhanced sex doll told Future of Sex that her orgasm was her most exciting feature., because she made loud and realistic sounds.

It was also claimed she could learn your sexual patterns so you and the love doll could both climax at the same time.

While Samantha could not move on her own, she would give vocal responses to touch thanks to sensors placed in different areas of the body.

Santos’ wife encouraged him to create Samantha because of their unmatched sex drives. He said Samantha made his relationship better by offering a sexual outlet that didn’t involve an organic woman.

According to Santos, Samantha’s offline artificial intelligence system had several modes, including family mode (perhaps for when guests were visiting), romantic, and hard sex.

The AI sex doll could also interact with voice assistants like Alexa or Google Home to do fun things like control appliances or set mood music.

One notable news story involved an ill-fated appearance at a tech fair where Samantha was “vigorously groped” and mistreated by attendees,

True Companion – ‘Roxxxy’

If you’ve read even a few mainstream news articles on sex robots, chances are you’ve come across Roxxxy by True Companion. Founder and CEO Douglas Hines touted her as the world’s first sex robot and debuted her in 2010 at the Las Vegas Adult Entertainment Expo.

Roxxxy is marketed as having five personality modules and able to talk and move, and costs $9,995.

On its website, the company also sells a male sexbot called Rocky for the same price, which is also said to have a personality and vibrating genitals

Despite wide media coverage that continues today, robot fetishists have expressed they’ve been let down by Roxxxy, saying she was overly hyped and didn’t deliver on promised capabilities.

Renowned roboticist David Levy, who’s well-known for his prediction that people will fall in love and marry robots by 2050, also wrote a paper critical of Roxxxy. In it, he expressed strong suspicion over the robot’s authenticity.

Future of Sex asked Hines how many Roxxxy robots he has sold, hoping to address a rumor that none have been bought.

However, he declined to give a number, stating that his is a private company.

Ricky Ma

Hong Kong inventor Ricky Ma grabbed headlines in 2016 with his lifelike Mark 1 robot—particularly for its uncanny resemblance to actress Scarlett Johansson.

Taking 18 months and $50,000 to create, the robot responds to spoken phrases and performs detailed facial expressions.

While the Scarjo gynoid wasn’t designed as a sexbot, Ma told the media he’s creating a do-it-yourself sex robot manual. So if you have the skills and money, you could build your own robot companion from home.

Eden Robotics – ‘Eva’

Eva is a sex robot prototype created by Roberto Cardenas of Eden Robotics. 

The Guardian featured his work in April in a long-form article and 16-minute video you can check out here. At the time of filming, you’ll see that she didn’t have AI or sound, and could only move her legs while lying down.

It’s unclear whether Eva is still in development. 

AndroidLoveDolls.com, which was linked to from the Eden Robotics site in July, featured male and female sex robots for sale. However, the site has since been taken down “due to maintenance” and the company did not respond to an interview request.

The main Eden Robotics webpage is still live, so perhaps the company has changed course. We’ll have to wait and see.

Considering the state of the prototype in The Guardian video (which was quite different than the promo images on the now-defunct site), Eva does not look close to being market ready.

MacMil Cybernetics

MacMil Cybernetics is an American company that created two sex robots: one male named Harry Harddrive and one female named Susie Software.

In 2011, they were for sale for between $8,000 and $11,000.

However, it’s unclear whether anyone bought the sexbots.

A few people, including us at Future of Sex, have contacted the company over the past few years without getting a response, leading us to believe it’s not in business.

In the 2011 documentary My Sex Robot, a robot fetishist named Delosian met the man behind MacMil Cybernetics and saw the two sexbots in action. He also met Roxxxy, with some disappointment

BodAI

Another project that no longer exists, at least in its original form, is BodAI. It was founded by Zak Field and Katie Aquino (aka Miss Metaverse) and had a soft launch in early 2016.

In August, Field told Future of Sex that he and Aquino are no longer working together. However, he added that he is pushing forward with a new venture that will carry out his original plans for BodAI.

So what was BodAI doing? The team was developing artificially intelligent companions inside a virtual incubator, teaching them to learn from experience and interact with humans.

The main goal wasn’t to create an AI for sex, per se, but a friend or helper that could become something more and share love and sexual intimacy.

Once complete, the cloud-based AI consciousness was meant to jump fluidly from device to device, depending on where you are at the moment and how you want to communicate.

For example, you could interact with your AI companion in virtual reality, take its personality with you on your smartphone, play together on a gamified social media platform, or download the consciousness into a humanoid robot.

Sex robots of the future?

These are the AI sex doll and sex robot projects we know about. But there are almost certainly people out there who have been secretly trying to build their own sex robots.

While news headlines and science fiction treat them with fascination, robotic lovers are still viewed as taboo to some degree. The development of sex robots has even been protested.

Those who have publicly displayed their creations have also dealt with ridicule. So it’s likely other projects are underway and won’t be revealed until they surpass a certain level of quality and realism.

The post State of the Sexbot Market: The World’s Best Sex Robot and AI Sex Doll Companies [UPDATED] appeared first on Future of Sex.

A Q&A with Keyhole Club CEO Crass Kitty.

As popularity and hype about NFTs soars, we’re seeing more celebrities and mainstream brands cash in by dropping their own digital image collections.

These digital products have also been slammed as a “scam” by indie video game platform itch.io, and their marketplaces criticized for being ripe with bad actors.

All the while my inbox is also getting hit with a surge of NFT-related press releases for new adult ventures.

To help us gain insight into what these digital products are and how they might benefit the industry, I spoke to Keyhole Club CEO and co-founder Crass Kitty.

The former sex worker explains how the technology can help adult content creators earn a living without the same risks associated with other popular adult platforms.

What are NFTs and how can they protect adult content creators?

Crass Kitty: “NFTs are nonfungible tokens, but that’s just a really complex name that means they are a token that can be used for a variety of purposes on the blockchain.

“Not all NFTs can inherently protect adult content creators, but when the royalties are set up on them with proper credit to the adult creator, they distribute payment to the creator every time they are resold. This means that adult content creators can get paid, even when they are no longer directly selling the NFT.”

How does Keyhole Club work and why did you start it?

Crass Kitty: “Keyhole club is token gated porn. So, you can buy a non-pornographic NFT that gives you access to a creators pornographic collection, and then, later, resell that token for a profit– and the creator gets a cut of each resell, forever.

“I started it because I’ve firmly believed that crypto is for everyone, especially sex workers. I wanted to create a way for them to monetize their porn and use crpyto for payments, because most payment processors are NOT safe for sex work.”

Why did you pick to use the Solana blockchain? And were there other options you considered?

Crass Kitty: “We picked Solana because of its easy to onboard and easy-to-scale tech. People can easily acquire Solana, and the blockchain is scalable.

“We considered polygon, but quickly nixed that idea in favor of Solana because of the booming NFT market on Solana.”

Can NFTs really give content creators more control and ownership over their content than today’s regulations and laws?

Maybe I am cynical, but it seems an open secret that a lot of adult content available online is pirated. In other words, can the technology overcome the legal and social shortcomings that influence sex workers’ income?

Crass Kitty: “I genuinely believe so, yes. There are two models for this– one in which the porn itself is the NFT, and one in which the NFT is gating access to the porn.

“In the first model, we all know that porn is often looked up, and seen for ‘free.’ What this model does is allows anyone who looks at the NFT to consume the porn for ‘Free,’ but when people want to support the creator directly, they can purchase the NFT. This prevents piracy and puts the control back into the creator’s hands.

“In the second model, when people buy an NFT to view gated content, they inherently will not share this content because it would devalue the NFT they purchased, and prevent them from being able to resell the NFT for as much. It’s using human psychology and FOMO to allow creators to keep their porn private and protected.”

How do you recommend beginners get started with NFTs?

Crass Kitty: “DYOR. It means do your own research, and while this sounds vague, lemme break it down for you.

“If you consider an NFT an investment in a creator or project, how would you evaluate something to invest in? You’d scour their founders, you’d see what they have previously accomplished. You’d find out if the product works, and if it’s something you’d actually use. You’d check on their growth.

“Do all this and more.

“And always use a burner wallet when you mint! A burner wallet is a separate wallet with only enough funds to mint– there are a lot of rugs and scams, so it’s important that you don’t risk everything you own in a wallet when minting with a new, untrusted project.”

Experts on the neural, educational, and surgical possibilities.

“Vagina-nomics” became a recognized market trend in 2016. As advertising agency JWT Intelligence then put it: “female sexuality—once euphemized or ignored—is now taking center stage across multiple industries.”

If the vulva has been ignored and overcomplicated, the penis has arguably been oversimplified. Yet sexual wellness and industry experts say male sexuality and the penis are starting to enjoy the same sex tech “rejouissance” as the vulva.

Our latest Future of Sex Expert Series question continues on with this focus. We asked: What is the most exciting possibility for the future of penile enhancement?

Jeff Bennett, Founder and CEO of Morari Medical

“Vascular issues of the penis such as erectile dysfunction have resulted in a multi-billion dollar market. An area that has largely been ignored are issues related to the neural response of the penis.

“The penis has a high concentration of nerves that have the opportunity to be altered to enhance the sexual experience.”

Patricia López Trabajo, Founder and CEO of MYHIXEL

“I think we have to talk about sex education before talking about penis enlargement or any aesthetic modification. Many men decide to undergo surgery due to insecurities and low self-esteem as a consequence of lack of sexual education.

“Therefore, breaking all the taboos surrounding men’s sexuality is a must and it should start by consulting a professional to help men regain their sexual and mental health.

“Penis size is something men are very concerned about, mainly because they use porn actors as a penis reference model. This has led to dissatisfaction and an increase in penis enlargement operations.

“However, there are a number of possible side effects to consider, such as problems in achieving a full erection, reduced penile sensitivity, and decreased overall sexual satisfaction. Thus, I would advise that before considering these aesthetic modifications, it is best to seek psychotherapy from a professional who can undoubtedly help you through this process.”

“Just like many other plastic surgery procedures, advancements in non- or minimally-invasive procedures have expanded the possibilities for body augmentation, including penile enhancement.

“As an international trainer on patient safety and hyaluronic acid injections such as Juvederm, I am excited about the expanded uses of Juvederm Voluma. Prior to injectable augmentation (a procedure we call the S.W.A.G. Penis Enhancement Procedure), the only options were surgical, which involved unsightly scars and implantation of rigid devices.

“Now with injectables such as Voluma and Bellafill, we can achieve instant results with minimal downtime and no surgical scars. The beauty of the procedure, especially with Voluma, is that the procedure is also reversible with a special injectable enzyme. So, while it is rare for patients to ask for a reversal, the option is there if needed. In the coming years, I expect even more enhanced results with next-generation dermal fillers with biostimulatory properties for longer duration.”
