Who are the People Behind the Webcam? Global Empirical Insights into Motivations, Job Satisfaction, and Privacy Needs of Cam Models
The integration of technology into sex work has reshaped the profession, with cam modelling exemplifying how digital platforms mediate intimacy, autonomy, and identity. While increasingly common, cam modelling remains under-researched and often misunderstood. Exploring its psychological dimensions, such as motivations, job satisfaction, and technological risks, is key to a more nuanced understanding of modern sex work. This study draws on a uniqu…
Sex robots and personality
Perceived stigma and erotic technology
The intersection of technology and sexuality in sex toys and erobots – artificial erotic agents (e.g. sex robots) – may generate stigma with their use. However, despite the growing prevalence of technology in human sexuality, researchers have yet to examine this stigma. Hence, this study provides the first quantitative evidence of perceived stigma related to erotic technology use (PSETU) and its association with people’s willingness to engage wit…
Hot for Robots! Sexual Arousal Increases Willingness to Have Sex with Robots
Robots designed to elicit sexual arousal are coming. Sexual arousal can increase our willingness to engage in risky or unconventional sexual behaviors. However, researchers have yet to examine whether this effect extends to robots. Hence, this study provides the first empirical evidence that state sexual arousal can increase our willingness to engage erotically with robots. Based on previous research, we hypothesized that levels of sexual arousal…
The Case for Space Sexology
Space poses significant challenges for human intimacy and sexuality. Life in space habitats during long-term travel, exploration, or settlement may: detrimentally impact the sexual and reproductive functions of astronauts, restrict privacy and access to intimate partners, impose hygiene protocols and abstinence policies, and heighten risks of interpersonal conflicts and sexual violence. Together, this may jeopardize the health and well-being of s…
