Repeal of Roe. The reality unfolding before our eyes is completely incomprehensible. It undoubtedly has profound implications for American life, both in and out of the bedroom. Although sex technology is ready and willing to pick up the pieces, American reproductive sexuality has suffered a serious blow. While intimate relationships are dangerous, sex technology is quickly becoming serious competition for human sexual partners.

As a sex therapist with more than two decades of talking to people about life’s most personal issues, I know the importance of sex in romantic relationships. Sex is one of the things that separates intimate relationships from others. People are willing to spend countless hours and hundreds of dollars on treatments to improve their sex life. After all, sex is the most intimate relationship between two people. Love is a profound way of giving and receiving. They make us feel important and alive that help make life worthwhile. For most heterosexual couples, the most important aspect of intimacy is male-female contact.
Despite the importance of sex, sexuality is surprisingly weak. I have witnessed time and time again that if something – anything – affects a person, it affects the quality of their sex. Because sex is when we are most open and vulnerable. We do not hide behind a public persona, an emotional wall of protection, or the safety of clothing. In this way, intimacy provides a complex response to life situations.

Thus, the loss of abortion rights in some states creates a major disruption in human relations. The relationship between male genitalia and female genitalia now has the potential to rewrite a person’s entire life, eliminating the female body and her future. Most people agree that sex, no matter how pleasurable, is worthless. In fact, I suspect that many feel that one pleasurable intercourse is not even worth changing a whole year of their life. After all, most sex is far from pleasurable – sometimes boring.
Thus, today a fertile woman and her partner are more likely to rewrite their future lives for forced pregnancy and less penile-female intercourse than with genuine exchange. Of course, for those who want to be parents, this exchange is very good. But since most sex happens between people who aren’t trying to conceive, many people, regardless of their biological sex, decide that sex isn’t worth the risk.
Sex technology is safe and risk-free.
Enter Sex Technology, ready to pick up the pieces. For many people, sex technology is just what the doctor — or in this case, the judge — ordered. Regardless of your genitalia, sex technology aims to please. High-tech vibrators that can please all penis shapes and sizes, intense and realistic virtual reality porn, avatar sex on fake sites, and apps that support any sexting need – all options are safe, risk-free, super stimulating and now – very important – no complications in the morning. Without something.
At first glance, this may seem exaggerated. Sex technology has been around for a while, and to this day most people still prefer human partners. But the advancement of sex technology promises to be even more powerful. Combine this with the suddenly intensified dangers of sexuality, and we witness the stakes at the heart of human intimacy. Researchers are looking at changes (decline) in people’s intimate lives. People of all ages are having less sex than in decades past. Uncommitted people are less likely to date. People of all ages are spending less time with each other, and more time with their devices. I know of no research to suggest that people’s sex lives are improving. Intimacy with a human partner is giving way to intimacy with technology.
As the risks in old-fashioned sex continue to rise due to the abolition of rum, it seems clear that the promise of safe, risk-free, and highly satisfying sex through sex technology will become even more compelling. Having sex with technology means you protect your body and the agent of your life. Seems straightforward to me.
A few months ago, while abortion was still a human right in America, sex technology offered us opportunities to enhance our intimate relationships, enhance our pleasure, and provide creative sexual experiences. Today, for many people across the US, sex technology is more possible, providing what human partners cannot. Today, sex technology may be the only way to enjoy risk-free pleasure.
I don’t normally give stock advice, but now may be the time to invest in sex technology: the future of intimacy.
