Throughout human history, men have always overcome adversities through the power of technology and surpassed what nature provided.

1) horses were surpassed by automobiles

2) fire was surpassed by electricity

3) you can even argue that the invention of writing and language, well before the printing press, led to the augmentation of human brain by compensating for the short term memory span of the human brain (this is from Yuval Harari's book)

It is a well known fact that billions of evolution gave women & female mammals superior sexual power over men due to the difference in the reproductive cost.

In the modern world, social media and online dating have made it near to impossible for most men to find love. This will challenge men to come up with better alternatives, as we have in the past through the power of technology.

I believe that by the end of this century, men will surpass the sexual power that women hold over men and in the longer term.

This is my prediction of how the sex technology will involve in the next 100 years and how well it replicates real women - there are two different metrics 1) sexual gratification 2) companionship.

companionship is technologically much more complex to replicate and likely will not be surpassed until we completely reverse engineer human brain and become transhuman, but 1) is much simpler problem.

Remember that horses are still much more complex than cars in terms of engineering complexity -> horses consist of trillions of cells that self-replicate. they have consciousness and their own complex thought process that surpasses those of dogs and cats. but cars replaced horses because they surpassed horses in a very specific subset of tasks that they were needed for - transportation.

Likewise, while it is technologically near to impossible to create an android companion robot that has the human woman intelligence and autonomy (which I predict will not happen until 2100s), the technology that will surpass a subset of tasks that certain group of women perform - which is sex work , can be replicated & surpassed much more easily, and by limiting the problem to that specific subset of tasks (having sex with a human woman) the engineering problem becomes much less complex than having to create an autonomous female robot with human level intelligence.

Without further adeu, this is my prediction of how the technology will evolve to replicate & surpass the problem 1) - fully replicating & surpassing the experience of having sex with a human woman.

== from the past to today (2024)

1) magazine porn - it replicates 5% of the goal 1)

2) VHS porn - it replicates 10% of the goal 1)

3) 4k internet porn - it replicates 30% of the goal 1)

4) 8k vr porn with fleshlight - it replicates 50-60% of the goal 1)

== future

5) light field VR porn - around 2030 & with fleshlight - it replicates 70-80% of the goal 1)
- we will have light field VR porn - where the viewer can move around within a given sphere -> a natural progression from the 8k vr porn with the resolution requirement of 16k-32k.

6) torso doll synced with passthrough model of a pre-recorded human being performing different positions or a CGI rendered character => it replicates about 90% of the goal 1)

- around 2030-2035.

torso doll will have sensors embedded within the skin that syncs with the VR/AR goggle. it has sensors & positional tracking so it can react to your movement - when you are about to penetrate, or looking at the doll from different angles, it will be able to say certain things to increase the immersion.

7) robot doll synced with passthrough model of a pre-record human being performing different positions -> around 2040 - 50, this is the point where human sex work will be killed, just like automobiles killed horses.

- a robot doll with animatronics head and the ability to switch & move positions within the context of replicating sexual acts, synced with a 3d model of any real human or rendered character, with the ability to replicate all sex positions and acts will become available.

far future (2050-2100) -> this is where we become more metaphysical and begin to start challenging problem 2) -> surpassing the human companionship provided by a real woman

around 2050-2070, we will have an interactive volumetric video - unlike static videos of today, where you say something to a youtube video and it won't respond, in the far future, when you wear a VR/AR glasses or contact lens by then, and when it displays a volumetric video of a real life scene you captured, let's say you have a memory recording of you interacting with your crush at school or in the office. in real life, you just had to say goodbye or just walk by, but in the interactive volumetric video captured passively via advanced holographic imaging of the future, you replay the memory, say hi to her, ask her to go to the bar with you, or even to the bed with you. you will be able to fulfill your any fantasies, and you will also be able to sync this volumetric 3d rendered ai interactive model of your crush with the doll mentioned in the previous step

around 2070-2100 - this is when the human-level ai is likely going to be achieved, and we will have westworld level robots with the same intelligence and capability as an adult human woman, but with the ability to provide companionship to you.

As I agree with Yuval Harari, our desire for intimacy and companionship is just a sequence of neurological signals that modern technology cannot fully decipher but will be cracked by the end of this century. if you can reverse engineer and fully understand the inner workings of the human brain to individual molecular level, you will even be able to decide to turn on/off or fulfill that sequence of signals (algorithms) that produce your desire for companionship and intimacy. this will likely happen after the westworld robot stage, sometime in the 22nd century, when humans start to merge with the machines and take the path to become a transhuman cyborg, by then, just like we consider the desires of dogs and cats as inferior, we will look at human sexual desire and companionship as something of lower dimension and will probably seek higher orders of things, whatever that might be that our current monkey brain cannot comprehend.
