Thank you for having me back.

It's always a pleasure.

Sure.

Sex tech usually first thought is sex toys, most popular, most easily identified.

But sex tech could actually mean anything from sex robots to sex toys to AI chatbots or companions.

Anything that involves sex and technology.

I think a little bit of both.

It certainly can enhance a lot of sexual experiences.

Vibrators are a classic popular addition to partner and sexual experiences.

Masturbation, they make orgasm often easier to achieve.

But they are certainly complicating sexual relationships when people are in relationships with AI companions or they have emotional attachments to robots or dolls.

It certainly has a new dimension to relationships.

Yeah, we're seeing specifically with more advanced sex dolls or like companion dolls that have AI features in them.

The people who are buying and using these devices are very attached and committed to them and often will dress them up or like hang out with them.

It's not just a sexual outlet for them.

It's really a...

relational relationship.

It's more than sex for them.

And I think sex often comes second to a lot of the relational components.

Well, I think certainly the companionship helps, like just the feeling of somebody else being in the room with you, even if that's a doll.
