Sex with a robot. Intimate relationships with machines will be the norm in 50 years, claims experts.


A sex scene between a man and a robot in Channel 4 thriller Humans may have shocked audiences, but sex between humans and machines may soon become the norm.
As humans spend more time in virtual realities - including online gaming and social media - intimate relationships with androids might even improve our mental health, according to academic Dr Helen Driscoll, a sex psychologist.
And our physical relationships will come to be seen as primitive in the near future as humanity embraces machines as partners.

Sex mannequins that you can order online already exist, and rapid advances in technology will enable them to 'come to life', according to Dr Driscoll in a blog post for the Huffington Post.
Robophilia - the word for a sexual attraction to robots - seems like an alien concept to us now, but could become the norm as our attitudes catch up to the technology.
'As virtual reality becomes more realistic and immersive and is able to mimic and even improve on the experience of sex with a human partner, it is conceivable that some will choose this in preference to sex with a less than perfect human being,' said Dr Driscoll.


In addition to having physical relationships with machines, advances in artificial intelligence could enable machines or even computer programs to become realistic enough to fall in love with.
This was explored in the 2013 film Her, which saw Joaquin Phoenix's character fall in love with a Siri-like operating system.
'This may seem shocking and unusual now, but we should not automatically assume that virtual relationships have less value than real relationships,' wrote Dr Driscoll.
