Sex tech is advancing at breakneck speed, and our intimate relationships are entering uncharted territory. From AI-driven chatbots that comfort, and seduce, immersive sex toys that blur the lines between physical and digital pleasure, haptic technologies, VR porn, to sex dolls and robots, tech is becoming an ever-present partner in our intimate lives. Cross-cultural trends reveal that people are having less sex together, spending more time with their screens, and reporting higher levels of stress and loneliness—a perfect storm fueling the rise of intimacy with technology.  These technological advances are already here, and research demonstrates that our clients are already engaging them.  In this webinar we will explore the latest sex tech and the complex questions they herald: Can a chatbot meet our deepest emotional needs? What happens to human connection when digital intimacy is always just a click away? And importantly, are therapists ready to help clients navigate these new frontiers of love and lust?  Join us for this enlightening and critical discussion as we explore the inevitable future of intimacy.
