    London set to host conference on sex robots
  • The second annual "International Conference on Love and Sex with Robots" is scheduled to be held on 19th and 20th December in London.

    It was originally supposed to be held in Malaysia, but was deemed "too extreme" for Malaysian society.

    The venue is Goldsmiths University, London, where experts in the field will share their ideas and see the technology on display.

  • While some experts believe that sex robots are set to replace human lovemaking by 2050, others have warned that the advent of sex robots could lead to sex addiction.

    Sex robots also have the potential to eradicate prostitution, thus ending sexual slavery and trafficking.

    However, sex therapist Gurpreet Singh said that entirely replacing humans with sex robots could have profound and undesirable psychological consequences.

  • Do you know?

    The cost of sex robots

  • Sex robots today cost around $5,000-$8,000, and are still out of the price range of almost all of the world's population. However, sex toy makers like Lovehoney and RealDoll expect prices to come down drastically as sex robots become more mainstream in three years' time.
