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.

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.

Future of Sex presents the second episode in a three-part series with Erika Lust on how she creates her unique style of indie adult cinema using mostly all-female crews.

“Pleasure doesn’t have to be scary, but it doesn’t always have to look the same.”

What do we hide from others about sex? What do our Google searches reveal about who we really are and what we really want from sex? Will VR provide a safe space to explore hidden desires in the future?

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.
