Designed by men, for men: Why sex with robots does not have appeal among women
Briefly

David Levy's 2007 prophecy about sex with robots gaining popularity appears prescient, as recent innovations like Realbotix's humanoid Aria seek to imitate human emotions and help singles connect. Valued at nearly $30 billion in 2023, the rapidly growing sexual technology market is expected to surpass $100 billion by 2032. Despite this potential, the niche of sex robots geared towards women has not seen the same success, overshadowed by male-focused prototypes. Cultural portrayals in film and media highlight the disparity in acceptance and functionality between male and female sex robots, raising questions about consumer interest and market viability.
