The Future of Sex Dolls - What to Expect From the Industry in the Years to Come
Posted on January 31 2023
The sex doll industry has seen significant demand in recent years due to the production of highly realistic sex dolls that look and feel just like real humans thanks to a variety of advanced features.
As the relationship between sex and technological innovation has been one of the most debated subjects in modern society, many brands and manufacturers have already started implementing technical improvements to their sex toys.
As a result, realistic love dolls may soon be upgraded to authentic sex robots enhanced with animatronics and artificial intelligence that will allow users to create virtual relationships with them.
What does the future look like for the sex doll industry in light of technological development? Read on and find out.
The Phenomenon of Realistic Sex Dolls
Modern sex dolls have truly revolutionized the sex toy industry and are now widely desired products that both men and women can enjoy.
One of the things that set them apart from their inflatable and often grotesque predecessors is their extremely authentic looks and functionality. The most renowned sex doll manufacturers, like Zelex or WM, are praised for their immaculate precision in their production techniques that guarantees the top-notch quality of their luxury products. Thanks to their high attention to detail, the love dolls perfectly imitate real human beings and offer their enthusiasts authentic sexual sensations.
Today, TPE sex dolls or silicone sex dolls are crafted from premium materials that are extremely durable and make the dolls soft to the touch as the materials feel just like real skin. Life-like love dolls also feature a range of characteristics that allow customers to customize their own sex doll. They can select eye and hair color, or various extras like breast option, pubic hair, or enhanced mouth.
While authentic life-size love dolls have already gained massive fame all around the globe with their incredible human-like features, it seems like this matter is likely to get even better with the introduction of artificial intelligence to the sex doll industry.
A Promising Future of the Sex Doll Industry - Introducing AI Sex Dolls
Although they are still largely in the developmental stage, the prototypes of robotic love dolls have already started to give insights into what fully functional sex robots may look like in the near future.
Realbotix
One of the aspiring sexbot manufacturers, Realbotix, has created a robotic talking head that can be attached to RealDoll bodies. These dolls are equipped with artificial intelligence thanks to an Android app that allows the dolls to give the illusion of sentience. As a result, a robotic doll head is able to imitate reaching an orgasm with specific facial expressions and moaning sounds.
The dolls’ faces can also be swapped with the help of magnetic technology to provide customers with a customized appearance for their love dolls. How much would such an animatronic AI sex doll head cost? The prices start at $8,000 but can be significantly higher depending on the customer’s customization preferences.
The Android app that provides sex dolls with authentic facial expressions also enables its users to create a personality that will integrate with the animatronic sex doll head. At the moment, it costs around 30$ a year and doesn’t necessarily require having a physical sex doll or robotic head - with the app, users can create their own virtual girlfriends and enjoy virtual sex with an avatar.
Apart from choosing the doll’s body type, personality, and style, users can enjoy the advanced capabilities of their virtual lovers, who are able to remember names, and interests, and can even engage in some arousing sexual conversations. Users also get access to the X-Rated Private Room Expansion, which allows for exploring erotic play by choosing various poses while the companion is either fully dressed or completely nude.
When it comes to a fully robotic sex doll body, it is estimated to cost between $30,000 to $60,000, according to Realbotix. The manufacturer will make the sexual interactions with the sex dolls even more lifelike by integrating the dolls with virtual reality and adding such features as warmth to the skin and genitals.
AI Tech
Another Chinese sex doll manufacturer, AI Tech, released a humanoid animatronic AI sex doll called Emma in 2017 after commencing development in 2013. The doll is made of food-grade TPE and is able to move her head, blink, and talk in English and Chinese. The doll can remember names and interests and becomes smarter with every conversation. What’s more, Emma can be connected to the Internet and share stories and weather, tell jokes, as well as do the math.
Emma has built-in sensors that cause her to moan when touched. She can also be heated to 37 degrees which is a typical temperature for a human body. With many customization options, the price of the AI robotic sex doll starts at $2,575.
Lux Botics
Lux Botics is another tech company specializing in the production of service robots for various markets, including sexual companionship. The company has created a female humanoid robot with an automated skeleton specialized for sexual motion. They have patented skeleton joints that allow the use of as few motors as possible but still provide highly realistic motion.
One of their current projects, Bed Botixs, is a service robot designed to assist a user in bed with its robotic arm system. It can serve many purposes and enable hands-free sex that may be particularly appealing for people with limited hand mobility.
The Bottom Line
The sex doll industry is booming with its luxury life-sized sex dolls that look and feel just like real humans thanks to the premium materials they are made of and the advanced features they possess.
Despite the massive global success of high-quality realistic sex dolls, the future seems to have even more exciting things in store. Many sex doll manufacturers and tech companies have started to implement artificial intelligence into their products to provide users with even more authentic sexual sensations. This may allow people to create virtual relationships with their sexual companions based on human-like interactions.
